Established in the glitzy Grand Hotel Splendide on the shores of Lake Lugano, the classical, polished veneer of this restaurant sets the stage for special occasion fine dining. Diners can choose between two set menus, flanked by an à la carte lineup. Chef Veneruso signs a score that delicately blends his southern Italian roots with local Ticinese influences, giving rise to a distinctive culinary signature. The restaurant’s name is a direct reference to this two-pronged southern-inspired legacy. In addition to a first-class array of dishes, the kitchen team has been indulging a growing interest, even passion for bakery products, to the delight of diners. The wine cellar is in a class of its own, by its diversity and quality; we highly recommend asking the knowledgeable sommelier for his insights to further enhance your meal.
