"The starting point for discovering the flavours and aromas of the region."

In Mendrisio's historic Via delle Cantine, the Osteria Lanterna is the ideal meeting place to enjoy the dishes of good old-fashioned cuisine, accompanied by a wide selection of Ticino and Italian wines.

The typical restaurant, created from the old cellars, has inside two rooms with wonderful vaulted ceilings for about 80 persons. With the arrival of spring, discover our panoramic terrace and the magnificent view over the hills and vineyards of Mendrisio.
