Lugano Swiss Bistro Restaurant Review:


There's nothing neutral about Lugano's version of Switzerland. The overdone Swiss décor could be tolerated if the menu impressed, but aside from the fondue, it falls short. Several dishes are under a lot of cheese anyway, so you might as well indulge in the real deal. Swiss onion soup is more cheese than soup, and the nicely-made spätzle with spinach gasps for breath under a thick layer of cheese as well. Schnitzel is hard to keep tender, and the kitchen did not rise to the challenge. But the four-course fondue dinner (minimum of two people) is a bargain. Ask for the Caesar dressing on the side.
