Antico Crotto In Porlezza

All very good, fast service and very kind staff. Highly recommended!

A charming restaurant with a beautiful view of the lake. The quality of the food was convincing - both the meat and the fish were excellently prepared. The service was friendly and committed, although there were minor communication problems due to the language barrier. Knowledge of English is only of limited help here. A surprising detail was the “chair rental” of €2.50 per person for the seat – a practice that I have never experienced before. This unusual fee seemed a bit strange and was reminiscent of creative business ideas that you might be familiar with from Thailand. A small detail on the side: the music selection seemed more appropriate for a reggae bar and seemed out of place compared to the rest of the ambience. Overall, the restaurant offers solid food at a fair price

Very nice and courteous service. The food was very good and so was the wine, the price/performance ratio was absolutely right here. I would be happy to come back and can recommend the restaurant without hesitation.

Very friendly communication & conversations, very nice romantic & quiet location with a great view of the lake, with small. Pool, older facilities but partially renovated, good price - cozy - quick to Lugano and Lake Como

We had a great time: the view of the lake is magnificent and the quality of the food was there! Special mention for the waiter, very friendly and good advice. We recommend!

Review about the restaurant (the restaurant and hotel are owned by different owners): Ate here over a week ago. The restaurant is beautiful and the tables are decorated chicly. We hoped to have a nice long “Italian” dinner. However, this was a fairly short session and we were back at the car within just over an hour. The food is served quickly after ordering, in our opinion a little too quickly. We felt a bit rushed. On the other hand, the food was of good quality. The salmon was perfectly pink and the meat was also cooked beautifully medium rare. The chef could still make a profit from the decoration of the dishes. The dishes do not come with side dishes such as salad or fries. We thought this was appropriate given the price of the dishes. The salmon cost 23 euros and the piece of meat 25 euros. In our opinion, a fairly high price for a bare piece of meat and fish. The side dishes then cost another 5 euros separately. We therefore felt that the price-quality ratio was not entirely correct. The staff was friendly and neatly dressed. The view is great and it was great to eat here.

Very nice owner, the rooms were spacious and had 2 beautiful balconies and there was a swimming pool with a beautiful view. Very rude

Super romantic Italian restaurant overlooking the beautiful Lugano Lake. Cuisine: tip top, tasty and authentic. Service: young, dynamic, correct and very friendly

I have only eaten at the restaurant. The view is amazing and because of it, it is overpriced. I enjoyed the main meal but the cheesecake (desert) was not the best. It's overpriced hence the bit of negativity in my review.

Booked via booking...with breakfast. On site it was said that breakfast costs an extra €12 per person. Communication only in English or Italian. CONCLUSION...it's ok for transit. I wouldn't recommend a 1 week vacation. P.S. Showering was also adventurous...little to no water...unfortunately that was normal.
