Autentiko

Located on the lakeside promenade, the restaurant is spacious, modern, and bright, offering sweeping views of Lake Lugano and the Gulf of Lugano from both the indoor dining room and the covered outdoor terrace.

The menu revolves around authentic Neapolitan pizza, featuring traditional classics alongside the restaurant's Autentiko Originals, pop-style pizzas, and a selection of gourmet creations. In addition to pizza, the menu includes a variety of Neapolitan fried specialties, appetizers, and a selection of traditional dishes inspired by both Neapolitan cuisine and the Amalfi Coast. The ingredients are sourced from Italy and include several PDO-certified products, such as San Marzano tomatoes, Campania buffalo mozzarella, Grana Padano, and Pecorino Romano.

During our visits, we particularly enjoyed both the traditional and signature pizzas, as well as the scialatielli allo scoglio (fresh pasta with mixed seafood). Among the latest additions to the menu is the Crispy Pizza, topped with Agerola provola, cheddar, crispy bacon, potato chips, and smoked bacon mayonnaise. Despite its bold flavors, the combination remains well balanced and surprisingly light.

The dining room service is friendly, attentive, and professional, contributing to an overall enjoyable dining experience.
