Arté al Lago

This Michelin-starred restaurant at the exclusive lakefront Villa Castagnola is Lugano’s culinary star. Chef Frank Oerthle does remarkable things with meat and seafood, with ingredient-focused, deceptively simple-sounding specialities like porcini mushroom with glazed quail breast, and venison medallions with pumpkin and cocoa. Gaze out across the lake through the picture windows or up to the contemporary artworks gracing the walls.
