Casual dining, excellent food, yet inexpensive (for Switzerland) . Definitely a contender for "best Roman-style pizza in Lugano" in my opinion. Also, they do HUGE pasta dishes, perfect for the hungry humans, who have just come down from the mountains.

An excellent pizzeria, quiet and secluded, directly on the lake. Perfectly positioned for a relaxing after-dinner walk around Caslano. (You can walk here from my house in about an hour)

Definitely the best place i have ever seen to sit and drink an espresso. Incidently, also voted "most beautiful town in switzerland". Try not to bring a car here, that may cause suffering.
