THE VIEW
Mediterranean
Floor-to-ceiling glass frames Lake Lugano so precisely that the room feels less like a restaurant than a very refined observation deck. This fine dining room inside a boutique hotel runs on the chef's seasonal Italian cooking, where Alpine ingredients sit alongside Mediterranean ones with quiet confidence. Three tasting menus anchor the experience. The Michelin star and a spot on 50 Top Italy's international list suggest the kitchen takes the view as a challenge, not a crutch.
