Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It was quite a long time ago that we had a nice meal there. Still is nice, classic, clean; there was a family event (a birthday lunch) next to us. We had their initial house drink and snacks then we ordered the onions soup; this...time was very cheesy, extremely for my taste, really too much... the meat ordered by my partner was very good and the pasta dish was good. Service was a bit slow at times but still a calm place where to have a nice meal away the town crowds.More

After looking for a nice restaurant for a leisurely Sunday lunch, we came across Al Vecchio Faggio and decided to give it a try. What a pleasant surprise! We opted for the monthly menu, which consisted of 5 courses and included a glass of wine,...for €40. Being November, porcini and truffle were features of this menu and it was divine! A particular standout being the ‘caffè schiumato’, which was unlike any ‘soup’ I’d had before. The restaurant is a lovely place to spend time with friends and family and only a 25 minute drive from Lugano. I am already looking forward to next months menu!More

We had quite expectations based on the good reviews, however were greatly surprised about the good service and perfect gluten free food! We had a wonderful dinner through all possible courses - have a look at the pictures. One of us is a celiac and...getting everything "senza glutine" was not an issue at all. Highly recommended for anybody looking for good food - at regular Italian restaurant pricing.More

After reading very good reviews from the past (very past, lately not that good) and since this is a recommended Michelin eatery (not starred) we decided to tick a gastronomic experience in this place from our places-to-go list one rainy day. The indoors are OK,...just smart, clean and nice. Most probably they have a lunch menu (like those 10,00 blue-collar menu) but we wanted something substantial so ordered à la carte. We were offered some snacks and a house drink, nice; ordered an onion's soup (7,00), pasta (7,00), cod-fillet with capers and olives (18,00) and a nice grilled tenderloin (20,00). Everything was well-cooked and delicious; some waiting time is must if want to be served cooked-at-the-moment food; service by the waiter, excellent. At the end when we asked a specific regional pomace brandy, it was not available at the bar, instead of trying “to sell” the others, he rushed to the cellar to get the one we wanted... Bill at the end was around 75,00 (3,00 per person service charges, coffee 1,50, bottle of water 3,00) average prices like most restaurants. We look forward to come back in the beautiful season to experience lunch or dinner at their outdoor terrace.More

Chose this trattoria because of it long-standing Michelin status. Hearty, fine Italian dining at a really good price. Good wine list. Try their Risotto - its perfect! They could expand their dessert menu a little, but otherwise a lovely little trattoria worth visiting! Meal for...5 cost us €120 with wine!More

It is worth the drive up the mountain. There may not be a view of the lake but the food here was magnificent It is where the locals eat - away from the tourists. Very welcoming and very welcoming
