We wanted a memorable meal in Lugano and we got it with Flamel!. I took my family there mid week and it was exactly what I was hoping for in terms of ambiance: elegant, but not stuffy or pretentious with a good amount of other diners mid-week so it was not empty. The service was very attentive and our waiter had excellent recommendations for us. Last but not least, the food was exceptional. The homemade pasta was perfect, the sauces/accompaniments we very creative and the desert was heavenly! I highly recommend it.
