Wonderful food and spectacular views…read more We first chose this restaurant the evening we arrived in Lugano because it was within the Hotel Villa Sassa where we were staying. Then we discovered that it was a favorite of a friend who is a Lugano resident, and she joined us for dinner. The food was wonderful and the views were spectacular. We ended up eating here two of the three nights we were in Lugano. As others observed, the menu isn't extensive, but that is often a good sign that what is served is fresh and well prepared. A pea soup was spectacular, and the seafood was wonderful. Service was very attentive and professional. Our friend rates this one of the best restaurants in Lugano.

It was fresh with anchovies, endives, olives, potatoes, green beans and of course, fresh cooked tuna. I also sampled a piece of Pinza from my aunt, which left me with slight food envy. All in all, I was happy to have my choice of the salad with plenty of protein, fresh and delicious ingredients. Service: The waiter was excellent, anticipating our needs throughout the evening with one of our guests arriving late - he accommodated us promptly bringing a late dish uncustomarily. Ambiance: The view overlooks the lake. It is the most beautifully captivating views that will mesmerize you if you are a guest in this town.

We sat on the patio and ordered pizza and the guys each ordered a calzone. The pizza was incredible. The crust was light and like nothing in the U.S. The pizza was topped with tender mushrooms, and lots of cheese, it was excellent. The calzones were huge, but they managed to eat every last bite. The tender crusts were filled with gently cooked eggs and a nice runny yolk spilling all over the ham, mushrooms, and cheese. We ended the meal with cappuccinos and they too were delicious, creamy, and not bitter. We still are talking about our lunch at Ristorante Corona.

The highlight of this hotel was the breakfast - simply the most amazing variety of food and beverages I have ever seen at a hotel.
