Enjoy Lugano Region
Live unforgettable moments.
Food
Lugano, nestled in the heart of the Italian-speaking region of Switzerland, offers a delightful culinary experience that blends Swiss precision with Italian passion. The local food scene is rich with traditional Ticinese dishes, featuring hearty flavors and fresh ingredients. One must-try dish is risotto alla ticinese, a creamy rice dish often prepared with saffron or mushrooms. Polenta, a staple in the region, is served with slow-cooked stews like brasato al Merlot (beef braised in Merlot wine) or coniglio in umido (stewed rabbit). Lugano’s lakeside location also means fresh fish, such as persico (perch), is a highlight on many menus. To satisfy your sweet tooth, indulge in torta di pane, a traditional bread cake made with dried fruits and nuts. Pair your meal with a glass of local Merlot, and you’ll get a true taste of Lugano’s vibrant food culture.
