What took us to this restaurant in the first place is parking space... we wanted to go to few other…read morerestaurants but we quickly learnt that parking can be a nightmare in Lugano. We called, booked a reservation, drove to Tabla. Found immediate parking in front of the restaurant. As soon as we entered we were greeted, seated and service began promptly. Ambiance was good. We decided to try the 6 course vegetarian tasting menu and to our surprise the food was delicious!! We did not expect to have such delicious, flavourful food in Lugano. We started with samosa which had a very unique flavour, that set the course for what to expect from the experience. Our favourite was their version of Dosa and the vegan rose kulfi. Least favourite was dahi puri. Everything else tasted... (is sophisticated a word that can be used to describe flavour? Then that would be it) Overall we loved it! Gagan was kind to come and introduce himself and make sure everything went well. If you visit Lugano, definitely give this place a try!

The food is delicious, the restaurant is beautiful and has a unique vibe for what Lugano offers.read more

I particularly recommend the Khorassan wheat spaghetti with cherry tomatoes; they prepare it table side in a giant Parmesan wheel, it's truly amazing.

I thought it was the best meal we had in Italy. From the ambiance (old Verona comes trough in a…read moretrendy contemporary setting) There is nothing touristy about this place, the staff doesn't even speak English very well but it's not going to affect your meal. You just entered a fairytale of dining experience their state of the art kitchen is lit up in red and opened to the dinning room with its plating station facing the guests... You can see fabulous dishes being assembled, watch their chef whip out some final details and be amazed! Again I am shocked with their outstanding (especially for Europe) service, one dish we ordered required extra time so they sent a complimentary appetizer to keep us "busy" I recommended strongly to order an appetizer with a crazy name "egg" I want to say it was the best thing that ever happened to my tastebuds- I still don't know what I ate but it was a culinary explosive... I still crave today months later If you are in Venice- this experience is equally as important as St Marco Basilica if not more :)

Front of house was excellent. Beautiful restaurant and setting. Friendly and attentive staff…read more Food was pretentious, overpriced, and above all, very poorly executed. Eggplant was decent but a little dated in plating. Nest was not cold or warm and the "perfectly cooked egg" as described was undercooked by a lot. Clear uncooked egg white. Fish of the day was good but they included a component that was on the allergens we informed them of. Also the veges were overstated by a lot. Pork dish was tasty, but just two bites. This was sold as a secondi. 40 euro for two bites of essentially a meatball, and it was smaller than even an appetizer should be. Ridiculous. This smelled of a chef in love with his "creativity and training" and not thinking about the customer. Change the chef. I would gladly pay these prices for better portions and more importantly better execution

Wow, Il Tempio d'Oro is missing an English review. How comes?…read more This is one of the "secret" places of the Milanese "Aperitivo" (happy hour), the pre-dinner drink which comes with a buffet dinner of its own :-) The offering of Il Tempio d'Oro during their happy hour is quite good and extensive, can happily substitute dinner, and the drinks and beers are all good and not terribly expensive. Outside buffet hours, the menu is still very good, but not that cheap. The place is very informal/"alternative" style, and can accomodate groups, maybe not extremely large ones. Pets are welcome :-)

We stopped in here on a Saturday night for the infamous "apertivo."…read more This is a no frills place, with lots of tables crammed too close together. I felt like we were packed in like sardines - it was impossible to get to our table or for the servers to get through. The service was also very slow. It was fairly busy because of the apertivo hours, but there were at least 4 servers, and considering the size of the place, it shouldn't have taken as long as it did for service. We had to flag someone down to order because nobody ever came to help us. Anyhow, this is definitely a great spot for apertivo. If you aren't sure what that is - it's like happy hour, except you get food along with your drink purchase. Prices were reasonable - I had the largest Hoegaarden I've ever seen and it was only 6 euros. They set up a pretty sizeable buffet, which you are free to enjoy as many times as you'd like. The food was pretty good and it was a decent selection. If you are in the area, it's definitely worth checking out!
