Tiglio Osteria in Lucerne

"Authentic, cozy Italian restaurant, with only a few seats and a small selection of pasta dishes, but incredibly well made! Amazing service on top of the food quality. Definitely recommended!"

"So, I asked the Italian guy next to me if this stands out by Italian food standards, and he said yes, so there we go. I also like the owner, very funny and likable guy so there is that too. Only 6 tables, so book in advance … The veal spaghetti was a bit andante,"

"I recently visited Tigilo !! and had a generally positive experience, though there were a couple of areas for improvement. The food quality was truly great, and everything I tried was delicious. It's clear they put a lot of care into the dishes they do offer. The staff were also incredibly nice and attentive, which made the dining experience very pleasant. My main critique would be the lack of food variety. I found the menu to be quite limited, and I was particularly surprised that there was no soup option available. Expanding the menu, even with a few more choices, would really elevate the experience. Despite the limited variety, I would recommend for anyone looking for delicious food and friendly service."

"Amazing Italian Experience in Switzerland! Absolutely five stars! We stumbled upon this fantastic Italian restaurant in Switzerland without a reservation, and the hostess was incredibly accommodating, finding us a perfect table. The food was truly authentic and delicious – the grilled squid was perfectly cooked, and the tagliatelle was divine. A huge shoutout to our waitress, she was absolutely wonderful and made our evening even more special. Highly recommend for anyone craving genuine Italian cuisine!"

"If you are looking for authentic Italian food made with quality ingredients without pretension or fuss, come here! This restaurant has 9 tables, a simple 1-page menu, and food clearly cooked with skill and love. We had the Buratta and cuttle fish appetizers, the garlic prawn spaghetti and homemade orecchiette and the crema Catalan (aka crème brûlée) for dessert. We finished every bite and it was a delight. The entrance was initially hard to find. You have to go up a small flight of stairs to get to the entrance, just to the left of the Aesop store. We had our hotel concierge call for reservations."

"Ordered the homemade orecchiette which was their signature for my wife and the tagliatella alla vodka for myself. What can i say? We left with 2 empty plates. The orecchiette has a balance of garlic, chilli & brocolli. The sauce was produced from these flavours with alittle pasta water, finished with alittle cheese and that makes it perfect and reminds me of home cooking.. Tagliatella was cooked to alittle over al dente (which was perfect for me) & the sauce has the sweetness and alittle tanginess from the tomatoes, richness of the reduced vodka, a splash of cream & finished with some basil and cheese.. The female server and the boss was friendly and attentive. Sadly the resturant is not open today as it is my last night in Lucerne. Be ready to open up more tables and chairs for more customers! Thank you for the food!"

"Found this restaurant by chance. What a find! Every dish was delicious. The service was second to none. Nothing was too much effort. Would highly recommend and will come back here again."

"I love the food! Better than the restaurants i tried in Rome! Service was excellent. The staff and the chef (owner) were very warm and friendly! I started recommending to my friends visiting to Lucerne soon, the minute i taste their pasta!"
