Ottimo ristorante sul lago di Lugano! Consigliatissimo per mangiare ottimi piatti della cucina italiana o gustare fantastici drink sulla loro terrazza vista lago! Staff gentilissimo e super cordiale, da provare assolutamente! Consiglio di assaggiare il loro polpo che è davvero una bomba! Ci tornerò presto.

Ristorante conduzione familiare, ottimo staff, bellissima location, ottimo cibo e prezzi super coretti! consiglio vivamente

Abbiamo pranzato su una terrazza dalla vista mozzafiato. Piatti di ottima qualità, gli gnocchetti al pesto erano freschissimi e davvero deliziosi. Il servizio è stato impeccabile, un ringraziamento speciale a Ismaele per la sua gentilezza e professionalità. Torneremo sicuramente!

Abbiamo pranzato di domenica e ci siamo trovati bene; personale gentile e molto curato d'aspetto, location bellissima e tranquilla, locale pulito e attenzione alla sanificazione corretta dei tavoli. Per quanto riguarda le portate, i due primi che abbiamo preso erano entrambi molto buoni e i dolci, anche se non di propria produzione ma di una pasticceria esterna, freschi e buonissimi. Non ci è piaciuto il pane ma siccome tutto il resto è stato ottimo (compreso il caffè) merita senz'altro il punteggio massimo!

Incantevole domenica, grazie. Pranzo e servizio eccellente. Dall'aperitivo, con stuzzichini sfiziosi da provare, al pranzo con alici fritte, gnocchi vari gusti, polpo alla griglia tenerissimo oppure tartar di manzo, eravamo in quattro e tutti soddisfatti. Il tutto su un incantevole terrazza sul lago. Consigliatissimo, ci torneremo quanto prima.

So che una recensione totalmente positiva suscita perplessità ma, credetemi, le cinque stelle le merita pienamente: non mi soffermo neanche a parlare della stupenda location sul lago ma quello che merita un elogio sono i piatti veramente ottimi e affatto scarsi. Dalla tartare agli gnocchi, passando per il polpo alla griglia alla frittura di alici, tutto veramente ottimo e preparato "come Dio comanda." E tutto a prezzi da media svizzera. Da tornarci e ritornarci.

Un posto incantevole, da sogno! Impossibile non apprezzare la cucina italiana gnocchi cacio e pepe, la loro famosissima luganighetta…la tartare con burrata freschissima! il servizio è di altissimo livello, il personale cordiale e preparato per tutte le esigenze. Consiglio

Il locale è molto bello, la vista suggestiva e piacevole, il personale cordiale e disponibile, il servizio ottimo. I prodotti sono di alta qualità, tutto estremamente buono. Lo consiglio a chiunque abbia il desiderio di mangiare davvero bene, senza rimanere delusi.

Ottimo pranzo in terrazza direttamente sul lago . Piatti curati e abbondanti . Servizio impeccabile

Splendida cornice per un pranzo speciale: ottimo cibo, perfetta accoglienza e una terrazza stupefacente coperta da una glicine rigogliosa. Ambiente tranquillo e rilassato grazie alla gentilezza dei proprietari che sanno creare una bella armonia in accordo col paesaggio circostante.

Really scenic restaurant with beautiful view and thei Aperol Spritz and Peach Juice was really refreshing and their snacks too.

Martin Lagler

It was a very nice experience, sitting over the lake, the friendliest and kindest waitress and the chef served some real good, delicious and quality food. Just prefect. Mille Gracie!!!

Maria Matruglia

Absolutely loved this place! The view over the lake is amazing and the food and wine was delicious! It’s such a cozy spot with a welcoming vibe, and I can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great food with an amazing view!

I had a wonderful experience at Oysteria La Terrazza sul Lago in Morcote. The views alone are absolutely breathtaking – dining by the lake made the whole atmosphere feel special. Our waitress was incredibly helpful, attentive, and provided excellent customer service. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was to our liking, and the chef even came out personally to bring us some extra spicy chili oil, just in case we wanted to turn up the heat. The highlight of the meal for us was the carbonara pasta with truffle cream – rich, flavorful, and simply beyond delicious. Combined with the phenomenal views and warm service, this place made for a truly memorable dining experience. My wife and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Morcote!

Amazing experience in beautiful Moricote! Authentic, family owned restaurant. Beautiful scenery, lovely food and that extra special personal service you rarely find in tourist places. We will definately visit again. Highly recommended!

We came across this beautiful restaurant by the lakeside while exploring Morcote. The waiter greeted us immediately and even took the time to split up a large table for us so we could sit right by the lake. The staff was wonderful from start to finish. Me and my partner both ordered the summer truffle macaroni carbonara and it was delicious, one of the best dishes of our trip. This is a perfect lunch spot for anyone in the area. Highly recommended.

Yesterday on 22nd July 2025 I went here for lunch. I was served by Ismaele and he was friendly and attentive. The foods came pretty fast and they were tasty. This is my second visit after October 2023. I will come back again. Thank you.

Literal gem in Morcote. Perfect pasta dishes. Excellent atmosphere. Quite little hideaway. Cannot recommend enough.

Veronika Kavalcova

A very nice restaurant with incredibly friendly staff. We had an amazing lunch, starting with the beef tartare and sausage, both of which were delicious. The meal ended on a high note with an excellent tiramisu. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Jackie Theoharis

Absolutely beautiful view and delicious food. The perfect spot for lunch in Morcote! Special thank you to the server for being so kind and accommodating.

Kivanc Mert Semizel

Very kind and friendly staff. When I mentioned I was hungry, even though the kitchen was closed, you brought me snacks. The view is amazing, absolutely extraordinary. I always recommend it..

Claudia Toggweiler

Wonderful location, very tasty food and friendly staff. My burrata was delicious. 😋

Maila

Loved the Caponata which was newly interpreted and super delicious. The Aperol Spritz was great too.

ELI

I only ordered an aperol but it was the best I've ever had! So refreshing and nice, and a good price considering how big the glass was. The service was quick and friendly too. I had a nice small conversation with the waiters. Unfortunately, I didn't taste the food here.

Jeffrey Teo

Very friendly restaurant staff - definitely tourist friendly. Amazing views from the restaurant sitting area - literally next to the lake. Food was equally good - we got the bruschetta for appetisers, mixed fried fish and cacio e pepe gnocchi for mains, and tiramisu and berry cheesecake for desserts. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

I would say average to above average food experience but then you add the service and the location/atmosphere is the best.

The setting is breathtaking. the restaurant is right on lake Lugano and the tables are under an arbor of wisteria. The food is good but the main reason to come here is for the beautiful views.
