Cameriera super gentile, caffè ottimo. Diversi giornali a disposizione.

A charming place where the Cassarate River meets Lake Lugano, creating a romantic setting under the shade of three majestic centuries-old plane trees. Here, history merges with the life of the people of Lugano, offering a new culinary interpretation that celebrates the past with a fresh and contemporary vision, using high-quality ingredients preferably sourced from local suppliers. On the banks of the Cassarate River stood the Osteria del Porto, which over the years has earned the title of "Antica" (Ancient). Its centuries-old history dates back to the nineteenth century when it was a landing point for goods from barges. An Osteria, yes, but different: in tones, colors, and signs. A menu proposal between innovation and tradition, with the lake and mountains blending and meeting in the menus of Chef Domenico Rezza. We accompany the dishes with a selection of local and Italian wines, served with care by our dining staff. And then the special occasions, the happy hours, the exclusive terrace for private events. A venue constantly on the move, searching for new proposals, accompanied by smiles and authentic hospitality.

Our history There were 30,000 Ticinese who emigrated to North America "California" from 1849 to 1918. The Grotto "GR8" America was the rendezvous where caravans on their way to Genoa and then set sail across the Atlantic Ocean waited. It was thus christened Grotto to America in 1890. Our cuisine Our cuisine focuses on offering traditional dishes with an innovative twist, mainly using all the good local products from Canton Ticino. We collaborate a lot with small producers close to us, from the Maggia Valley to the Onsernone Valley, thus supporting the small realities that definitely guarantee true "home" quality. Menu
