Addis Ristorante & Pizzeria in Lugano

Enjoyed the meal. Vegan platter was nice.

Very comfortable place and excellent food!!

Best place to eat Habesha's (Eritrea and Ethiopia) Food! I recommend everyone!

I have gone numerous times, I have always eaten more than excellent food, the atmosphere is very characteristic and welcoming, the staff is very friendly, one of the best places in Lugano.

Excellent food but service a little slow, particularly as the restaurant was half empty.

I went in to get a takeaway coke (4.-), I go to pay by card and the owner tells me that the minimum payment he accepts by card is 10.-. To accommodate him I decide to take another coke (despite the fact that in Switzerland it is mandatory to pay for any amount at the POS). Result? He still made me pay 10.-.

An enchanting place with a family atmosphere like you can't find lately. All very good and very kind staff! Absolutely recommended!

Very good food, friendly and welcoming staff

Tried pizza and Ethiopian cuisine, all good!

Great homemade food and really yummy. Tye owners are really nice and they make you feel very welcome! Definitely recomend!

Best restaurant in Lugano. Super friendly staff and delicious food.

One of the greatest restaurants in Lugano. Amazing food, exceptional service. A place I will keep coming back to.

I've not experienced Ethiopian food before. If it's always like this then I've been missing out. We had the house special with vegetables. Amazing

Everything Perfect 💯 The food is delicious And they are really friendly And kind...

The right place to try original Ethiopian cuisine

Very good and affordable food. Highly recommended.

i loved it. the people that work here are the most amazing people. i really loved everything here. And the food was delicious. I love love loved it !!❤️

Best habesha restaurant in Lugano

The best Ethiopian experience you can find in Ticino I am half Ethiopian I highly recommend

no respect not good habesha food

Very high price for very low quality! Very disappointed☹️

Disappointing. Small portions with high prices. Minimum wage service. I understood why the restaurant was practically empty.

Very good food, very helpful service.

Amazing Ethiopian restaurant with different delicious and fresh dishes! Very kind and friendly staff. See you soon:)

This Ethiopian restaurant was a discovery. I wanted to try something new. I was satisfied by the special spicy flavours. For dessert the Baklava was exceptional. Very friendly and nice staff. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to have a cultural experience. 😊 The total price exceeded 100.- but on the other hand I had a good time. This matters!

Unfortunately we only had a mediocre pizza and only the manager in the restaurant filled it, who was therefore both a waitress and a cook.

Delicious and authentic Ethiopian cuisine. Friendly service as well.

Excellent food all prepared by the lady who is very kind and nice. An experience absolutely worth repeating.

Very pleasant atmosphere in the restaurant. The service was good. Unfortunately the waiting time until the food was served was a bit long. The Ethiopian food was good.

VERY RUDE!! I simply went in with my two children to ask if you would kindly change 5 Francs for me. Rudely he told me not to go in with 3 so as not to dirty the restaurant, and that not having consumed anything it was already a long time ago that he was doing me a service. Arrogance and rudeness! I will never set foot in a restaurant with an owner like that!

Very good, healthy food, well presented and plentiful. The staff is very kind and smiling. I've already brought several people who didn't know Ethiopian cuisine and they were thrilled.

We ordered cordon bleu and it didnt really look like one to us. Taste was so so.

Friendly and excellent and plentiful food. Thanks also for calling me a 17 year old :-D

Wooow wonderful time in Addis Restaurant Lugano Tessin with my kid.

Interesting food, tasty and well served.

Very little food for the price, taste good...see below! Unfortunately, we actually paid for 4 people (see receipt) and not 2 portions for 4 as the patron assumed!

It was delicious in the restaurant, also recommended for vegetarians💕

Excellent quality Ethiopian food, genuine, exceptional injera Consider the extraordinary local coffee which is exquisite and is part of a unique ceremony in the world, worth trying. A suggestion is to be a little clearer in explaining the dishes for those who do not know the Ethiopian culinary tradition, i.e. what exactly they are made with (chicken, beef, etc.), including the side dishes (eggs, vegetables, etc.)

Disappointing. Small portions with high prices. Minimum wage service. I understood why the restaurant was practically empty. It's a shame because I really like Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine.

The food is homemade, with hand 🖐️ and love. It is well to very well seasoned. Everything is eaten with your fingers. There is a sweet drink that goes very well with the food. The ambience is simple but with traditional pieces. The service is very accommodating, ask for a traditional coffee at the end, you won't find it anywhere else, delicious!

Two of us entered, sat down quietly and then asked if we could have just one dish for both of us. In an aggressive tone he told us that you can't make a dish just for two. Besides, I wanted to eat alone, but he wouldn't let us. We explained that we didn't have much to spend as the prices were very high for two students. We left not satisfied. Thank you Goodbye 🤯

Great authentic experience! This is absolutely the best Ethiopian restaurant in town

The food was absolutely delicious! My friend and I had a wonderful vegan platter and they were very welcoming.

Kindness and good welcome. Thank you

Delicious vegetarian food, lovely hosts and fun atmosphere :)

This restaurant was recommended to us by the Ethiopian parents of one of our daughter's kindergarten classmates and everything actually went very well until the bill was presented... The restaurant is simple and nice, with the typical colors of the African country; however, in the bathroom there was no paper to dry your hands and the electric hand dryer didn't work (and toilet paper was also in short supply): I didn't report it, but since the restaurant was at the beginning of the day (12.30) and there were very few customers, I I would have expected more care in checking that everything was in order. The managers welcomed us in a very friendly way; the lady even brought us coins to pay for the public parking outside. In addition to the ethnic menu it is possible to get sandwiches, pizza and other Italian-style cuisine; we ordered the typical mixed dish (in the photo) that those who are used to these restaurants know well: I have been countless times in Eritrean and Ethiopian restaurants in internal Switzerland and in the Romande area, so I know the dishes and the prices well. Unfortunately, I fear that there was a major linguistic misunderstanding with the lady: I, an Italian native speaker, asked if the mixed plate (38 francs) was enough for two people and the lady replied that yes, definitely: it is large; I wasn't going to eat too much and my wife eats half portions. The Ethiopian dish was truly exquisite. Then we got two lemon cakes and the lady offered us an Ethiopian liqueur. Coffee and two mineral waters close. When it came to the bill, to my surprise, I found myself charged for TWO dishes. At my complaints, the lady appeared resentful, as if it were obvious that the dish consisted of two portions; I didn't argue: just noticing that a liter of mineral water costs more than dessert convinced me to let it go. I have NEVER spent more than 70-80 euros for two in an Ethiopian/Eritrean restaurant not even in Zurich or Geneva and the portions have always been excessively generous, if not even "eat-all-you-can": it was truly a disappointment ; so I'm sorry because we live in Lugano, but we won't be going back.

Excellent food, perfect welcome and a very familiar environment. For those who like ethnic food I highly recommend you try it, for those who have never eaten ethnic food... you absolutely must try it. Thank you for this beautiful experience. I'll be back soon.

thank you very much! - delicious taste.

Food is alright but prices are high. Customer service is ok.

Very friendly place, great food. Furthermore, the cook is truly a very kind lady!!

Damn, a 3 dl iced tea paid 5.- as if to say you pass once then more

Galette null it's not made the good flour it's not for the price

It was a very hot day and I had work to do as well as being very tired. This restaurant was the only one I saw. Really kind and affable owner. Pizza was so good that I thought I wanted another one. I felt at home.

Very friendly staff, spacious location with very close parking. Traditional Eritrean food well cooked and well served. I loved it!

The food had a strange taste because it was made with reused oil. It also was a bit greasy. The only thing that I liked was the coffee.

Adis... Always friendly and smiling, excellent food (vegetarian in particular)

Very good and the manager is very nice and available to show you and explain the traditions of her country

Typical and authentic food. Friendly service. A nice surprise.

Very nice people...The Ethiopian food is very good and the African beer is awesome...you eat with your fingers...

Excellent pizza, ethnic cuisine to try, a wonderful experience. The beer is very good.

Fantastic place and a very interesting experience 👍🏻

Family restaurant and great to try something new

Simple restaurant. Eaten well. 👍

From the outside it might not seem like a good option, but I recommend trying the Ethiopian cuisine, made to perfection for a fair price. We took the "mixed" dish, all very good. Very helpful and helpful staff.

Fantastic dining experience. Coffee, on the other hand, is a ritual worth trying

Incredible food, fantastic staff, all in a truly quaint setting. Highly recommended!

I had never tried Ethiopian cuisine and I ate very well, the owners are very hospitable and make you feel at home. 10/10 I will definitely come back to try the traditional coffee.

My boyfriend and I had dinner here for our anniversary. Fantastic experience! Very kind, nice and friendly waitresses, excellent food! The quality/price ratio is perfect, the food is substantial and well presented. On the waitress' recommendation we took a mix of Ethiopian dishes (to try more things), we were happy. The desserts are also excellent (we tried the apple pie). Well done!

Very tasty food, great price value ratio. We will definitely come again.

Family atmosphere and delicious food! It feels like home, the owners are kind and helpful. Honest price and generous portions, excellent quality meat and dishes! Definitely a unique restaurant of its kind here in Lugano where we have very little ethnic, certainly a pearl to discover. Highly recommended!

I discovered and ate with pleasure the Ethiopian national dish!

Great restaurant with a very tasty vegan plate and super friendly and friendly employees (family business)! gladly again :)

Really great food! My husband and I decided to try Ethiopian food for the first time here. It was delicious, and very tasty. We got the mixed selection with beef. The beef was great, and all of the sides like lentils, cabbage, and other mixed were very tasty. You eat each dish with a little bread wrap (not sure what they call it) and take a taste of each. Very good and very filling!

....Ethiopian cuisine, well prepared, exquisite, for those who want to experience less usual flavours. very kind lady, accurate advice.

Deux pizzas un verre de vin et une demie bouteille d’eau plus un café pour 60€.Beaucoup trop cher d’autant plus que les pizzas étaient très moyennes avec une pâte très dure A éviter

Very friendly, funny and helpful. The food is simply wonderful. Thank you

We love ethnic food and here you can enjoy excellent Ethiopian food served with simplicity and extreme kindness. the owners are really available to satisfy any need. Well done!

New flavors and very friendly staff. To return!

Food: amamazing 5/5 Quantities: enough to feed a family for a whole year 5/5 Service: he speaks every language somehow and is super friendly 5/5

Very good I tried eating and pizzeria in Ethiopia to eat Also kind people all Thank you so much 👍👍🇧🇴

I was passing through Italy, and by chance I was in those parts and I went in for a coffee, rude at best, I came in smiling and he looked at me from head to toe as if I were an alien, I asked for two coffees he forced me to drink it outside the restaurant, then I asked for the bill and he didn't know what price to ask, first €4.80 then €4, I'm going to get the €4 I had in coins, he looked at me very badly and told me that they don't accept coins but only banknotes, I said okay, thank goodness I have €5 worth of credit, then I leave saying goodbye and not even an answer, and I told myself he'll dislike Italians. NEVER AGAIN!! I always have the mask, there is a law that speaks clearly, even more so if I enter a place, (then smiling so to speak,) it can also be done with the eyes, and with education in the talking to a person, in fact you can't please everyone on this matter with full reason, thanks to you all the same.

Yummy 🤤 We were there by chance, and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the cuisine and the friendly welcome, we will definitely return.

The place is a mix of ethnic decor and old restaurant, but the food is really delicious. Special dishes, an unexpected and very pleasant experience. The staff are really friendly and helpful, a place to definitely come back!

We usually go to Milan for ethnic cuisine, by chance I discovered Addis, excellent dishes (a wonderful zighini full of just the right flavour) and very attentive and kind service, a real surprise to be repeated. Well done!

The food is delicious, it is one of my favorite restaurants in Lugano.

Die Lage am Piazza ist wunderschön. Die Pizzen leider nur Durchschnitt. Hier hätten wir uns frische Zutaten gewünscht. Gut, der Service ist angenehm nett und hat unseren Hinweis auf die Qualität der Pizzen mit einem Espresso aufs Haus versucht wieder gutzumachen. Im kommenden Jahr sind wir wieder mit einer 2. Chance am Start.

El único problema que tuvimos es que Lugano estuvo extremadamente ocupado en septiembre, porque muchos suizos (incluidos nosotros) eligieron este lugar para sus vacaciones porque viajar durante Covid 19 estaba prácticamente limitado a Europa central. Así que todos los buenos restaurantes estaban llenos. Tanto el servicio como la comida eran buenos y no tuvimos que esperar demasiado.

Typical Ethiopian dishes, good. Simple and pleasant environment.

Delicious and fresh food, very friendly staff!! We'll be back

Because I missed the headphones

Le restaurant est situé en plein centre et est donc très pratique. Nous avons commandé 2 pizzas jambon/champignon ainsi que des soft drink classiques. La pizza était correcte mais sans plus. En effet, les ingrédients étaient du surgelé et la pâte était très épaisse. Pour finir le prix des boissons et par conséquent celles des pizzas (qui étaient moyennes) était un peu excessif ce qui équivaut à un 3/5

There is an air of serenity and professionalism, I recommend it to everyone

Very friendly staff and the food was excellent! Only to recommend.

Einfach schlecht. musste fast 40 Minuten auf eine sehr ölige und schlechte Pizza und eine gefrorene / verbrannte Lasagne warten. Überteuert

Spaziergang durch Lugano, Hunger kommt auf und das erst beste Lokal auf dem Platz wird angesteuert. Leider bewahrheiten sich die eher schlechten Bewertungen. Der Salat ist nicht mehr knackig, die Gnocchi verkocht & der Mozzarella gummig, auf der Pizza liegen Dosen-Pilze, die Carbonara schmeckt komisch - kurzum das Essen ist wirklich schlecht. Dass dann auch noch ein Burger vergessen geht, passt ins Gesamtbild. Das Vorurteil, dass Restaurants auf Piazzas oft nicht gut sind, bewahrheitet sich leider wieder einmal.

Mi trovato a cenare in occasione di un Viaggio di lavoro. La pizzeria Federale è situata nella piazzetta di Lugano con i tavolini all’esterno di una bellissima visuale sulla piazza a parte questo il cibo è ottimo lo staff gentilissimo mi hanno trattato davvero bene la pizza è ottima e il dolce merita tantissimo grazie ancora ragazzi ho cenato come se fossi a casa

Wow what an experience. A super good meal full of flavor and discovery with a super nice and very welcoming couple. I had never eaten Ethiopian food and it was a very nice surprise. The premises are very beautiful, great decor and good atmosphere!

very refined and authentic dishes - Injera menus are highly recommended

Very good!!! Friendly, smiling and helpful staff. Absolutely worth trying!!

Excellent food... very nice, characteristic environment... clear joy...
