The Osteria Gallo d'Oro has all the ideal qualities to satisfy the most discerning foodie in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. At Gallo d'Oro everything is homemade, from flatbreads to fresh pasta to ice cream. Even the oil is produced directly by the restaurateur's family.

Italian hosts around the world are many. Not everyone, however, succeeds in creating a genuine corner of Italy far from home. It has succeeded for Matteo Napolitano with his staff, since 1981.
Let Matteo tell you, at the table, about the food proposals: he knows how to recite the card with descriptions that do not appear there.

"For me ,he tells, the restaurant must be a place where the customer feels welcome. The cuisine must be savory, prepared with natural products, like Florentine, which is sober, but full of flavor. You can't say, however, that our cuisine is Tuscan, it's mainly regional Italian."

Quality Dishes & Excellent Service

A genuine corner of Italy, an elegant restaurant that has preserved the simple, warm hospitality of Tuscan trattorias.

High Cuisine

Elegant yet modern and understated atmosphere. The menu is varied and illuminated by good taste. The refinement of the raw materials and the perfect execution of each dish really make the difference.

Ideal Location

The location a few kilometers from the center of Lugano, positioned in the midst of greenery with a veranda with a roof and large windows that can be opened ad hoc, usable much of the year with spectacular sunsets and optimal ventilation.
