Splendid service. Top menu with real top quality dishes. Highly recommend anything with the word seafood in it such as the seafood ravioli starter (also available as a main) and the amazing seafood risotto as a main course.
Cracking service, food, and company.

I've been to Lugana twice now and have been met with brilliant service and food each time. I would like to mention particularly the Italian manager whose name I didn't get but was meticulous and polite in manner as well as Arta, one of the waitresses there. She was so friendly and took good care of us all, making us feel very welcome. All the staff were accommodating and lovely, would absolutely recommend.

Just back from our first visit to this restaurant. Had to book in advance, as it was impossible to get in without a booking. It was worth the wait, that's for sure. Warm welcome, nice atmosphere ,friendly and attentive waiting staff and the food and wine were excellent. The menu is great. Lots of choice. All very tempting.
An Italian restaurant on the upper scale, don't expect pizza on the menu. We left fully satisfied and will come back for sure.
