Our story

One family, one recipe, one city

It all began in 1987, when grandma Rosa brought her family dough from Campania to Lugano. Ever since, we make pizza the same way: little yeast, a lot of patience and a wood oven that never goes out.

Today the kitchen is run by the third generation, but the principle is unchanged: real, seasonal ingredients and a table where you sit down without rushing. Welcome to the family.

The best Margherita in Lugano, no exaggeration. Perfect crust and warm service. We come back every Friday.

Ordered takeaway and the pizza arrived still fragrant. You can taste the long-leavened dough. Top marks.

The tagliatelle ragù taste like my grandmother made them. Family atmosphere and honest prices. Highly recommended.

Real gluten-free options, not improvised. Finally a place where I can eat pizza too. Thank you!

A wood oven you can see and smell. Diavola with just the right kick and an excellent craft beer.

Booked online in thirty seconds, table ready on arrival. A tiramisù worth closing your eyes for.
