Restaurant Gallery Arté al Lago

The award-winning Ristorante Galleria Arté al Lago is the jewel of the Grand Hotel Villa Castagnola. A unique restaurant in Ticino, located within an art gallery overlooking the waters of Lake Lugano, offering a breathtaking view.

The restaurant holds 16 GaultMillau points. Its splendid spaces are adorned with artworks by internationally renowned artists, with thematic exhibitions that change twice a year, creating an exclusive atmosphere.

"My cuisine is an expression of passion, creativity, and respect for tradition."
Based on the philosophy of Ristorante Arté al Lago—that simplicity is the highest form of sophistication—each dish is crafted with carefully selected ingredients that tell a story, evoke emotions, and let taste take center stage.

For Executive Chef Alessandro Boleso and his trusted right-hand man for over 10 years, Executive Sous Chef Junio Carlo Pini, the fundamental principles of every recipe are respect for raw ingredients, their origin, and minimizing waste.

The experience is completed by Maître Davide Bolzonello, a true guardian of the art of hospitality, who ensures that every detail is meticulously attended to, offering you an authentic gastronomic journey in a timeless setting.
