We visited this restaurant a couple of times during our stay in Lugano, and found both the service and food to be perfect every time. Our first visit was on a busy Friday lunchtime, but we were seated straight away. Our orders were taken promptly, and our drinks were brought out soon after along with a bread basket. The food...

This is the best Pizza in the Center of Lugano. A couple of the waiters are a little rude if you don't speak italian well.

I had a dinner with my friend in this restaurant, they gave us probably the worst place, all waiters have to carry a food very close to our table, they have touched their backs, broke glasses, and all of those immediately to our table. The tables are small, the chairs plastic, there is no place where you can put handbag.... More

We first ate here on a Friday lunchtime and the restaurant was busy, a great sign - we were seated quickly and offered drinks and bread. We ordered lovely pizzas and a burger - The pizza had a thin and crispy base with wonderful toppings and the burgers looked impressive, my Dad certainly enjoyed it! Our second [and third] visits...

Went here for a quick bit to eat and ended up going back another two times!! The food is amazing, well priced and very good selection. The rissotto is one of the best that I have had and would highly recommend it to anyone. The staff are very friendly and the service is excellent! I had a pizza, pasta dish... More

The Argentino does a very good pizza. I go almost every week there for one of their pizzas while I stay in Lugano.

Pizzas just as I like them, thin pastry and crusty. Maybe not everyone's type of pizza but this pizza is light and easy to digest. Pizzas come in too sizes - standard and pretty large for a dew francs more. We also sampled the pasta - carbonara and the seafood pasta with large shellfish and mussels, nicely presented. Lovely food.... More

I ate at Argentino several times. It is not a bad place for those who are looking for pizza in the center of Lugano. The pizzeria has a pretty big variety of pizzas and pastas to order. The service is prompt but not exceptional. The quality of food is good, but you have to pay around 20 CHF for average... More
