The Grotto della Salute is a traditional Ticinese grotto restaurant in Lugano, offering an authentic taste of the region’s rustic cuisine in a characterful setting. Grottos are a beloved local institution, serving hearty dishes such as risotto, polenta, braised meats, local cheeses and cured meats, washed down with Merlot served in traditional ceramic bowls. With its relaxed, convivial atmosphere and shaded garden, it is a wonderful place to experience genuine Ticino food and hospitality away from the more touristy lakefront restaurants.
