Tiglio Osteria : Metzgerrainle 3, 6004 Luzern

Amazing Italian Experience in Switzerland! Absolutely five stars! We stumbled upon this fantastic Italian restaurant in Switzerland without a reservation, and the hostess was incredibly accommodating, finding us a perfect table. The food was truly authentic and delicious – the grilled squid was perfectly cooked, and the tagliatelle was divine. A huge shoutout to our waitress, she was absolutely wonderful and made our evening even more special. Highly recommend for anyone craving genuine Italian cuisine!

So, I asked the Italian guy next to me if this stands out by Italian food standards, and he said yes, so there we go. I also like the owner, very funny and likable guy so there is that too. Only 6 tables, so book in advance … The veal spaghetti was a bit andante,

Ordered the homemade orecchiette which was their signature for my wife and the tagliatella alla vodka for myself. What can i say? We left with 2 empty plates. The orecchiette has a balance of garlic, chilli & brocolli. The sauce was produced from these flavours with alittle pasta water, finished with alittle cheese and that makes it perfect and reminds me of home cooking.. Tagliatella was cooked to alittle over al dente (which was perfect for me) & the sauce has the sweetness and alittle tanginess from the tomatoes, richness of the reduced vodka, a splash of cream & finished with some basil and cheese.. The female server and the boss was friendly and attentive. Sadly the resturant is not open today as it is my last night in Lucerne. Be ready to open up more tables and chairs for more customers! Thank you for the food!
