The Gabbani cafe is located below the hotel, nested a little street in the old quarter on Lugano. Had a lunch set that included salad, first dish, water and coffee. Quite a good deal considering the quality of the food. Service was courteous and efficient, the waiter explained me the menu items and food details with no problem. As you literally seat besides the street and under a generous awning, it is possible to leisurely look at people passing and at the whole restaurant scene. Will come back and probably try the hotel. P.S. The adjacent Gabbani butcher is also excellent, selling panini and pizza by the slice. Worth a try too!

Absolutely the smallest pours of wine in Lugano. I ordered the 13 CHF Italian red and the waiter basically gave me "a taste". I'm from the US and I guess we are used to getting a decent pour for what would be a $15 glass of cab! read more
We needed a quick break from the walking and shopping and this spot was perfect. We were quickly greeted and placed our order. The cheese board was delicious and what we thought was jams on the board was actually mustards. We ended up buying a couple jars of the mustards. The beer was cold and I recommend you stop by and give them a try. Enjoy! read more

What a delightful meal, right next to hotel Lugano Dante - Our waiter was very attentive and made great recommendations the gnocchi ragu was amazing and we also had some asparagus ravioli with burrata. Also amazing. Typical Italian atmosphere, would certainly go back and I do recommend you try it out! read more

Rude and arrogant wait staff. Nice ambiance. Will not recommend to anyone. Expect poor service and negative attitude if you only speak English. read more

Yum! Great food served by people who don't take themselves too seriously. Loved this place recommended to us on our vacation by a local. The setting is casual, the wine is good and the food is great. Can't think of a better way to have dined on our last night in Lugano! Another high note, the restaurant menu identifies allergens for instance what is dairy free, gluten free, etc. read more
This review is for the cafe/bakery only. We stayed in a hotel almost directly next door to the Gabbani. It took us about a day to figure out that the ground floor stellar bakery/cafe and adjacent cheese shop is actually part of Gabbani hotel just above. Directly down the pedestrian walkway is the Gabbani butcher shop where one can also purchase amazing sandwiches made, of course, with Gabbani's great selection of bread, cheese and meat. The cafe space is light and airy. We sat almost directly underneath a very large skylight while nibbling on a small breakfast of eggs and toast with orange juice and coffee. (We had missed the continental breakfast buffet--cheaper if one is a guest at the hotel, obviously.) Our fare was decent, but not fab. The whole vibe of the place, however, would prompt me to return. read more

This is just regarding the aperitivo on wednesday, The food is pretty ok for Lugano standards, too bad it's served at such a cold temperature that it's almost impossible to taste anything, considering it's 90% fried food, so it's impossible to enjoy it when cold. Also, the place is too crowded plus it's too cold to stay outside in the winter. read more
