Motto del Gallo in Torricella-Taverne

Very nice environment, I ate some mouth-watering spaghetti cacio pepe with fried artichokes

Charming place, impeccable service with great waiters and a quality dinner. I recommend.

This place was recommended to us by friends, on the menu there are traditional Ticino dishes ranging from meat to fish to game. Their proposal is very varied (even too much) personally I would drastically reduce the menu!!!! Overall a pleasant dinner

Great cuisine and great service! Fairytale location. 100% recommended

I stumbled upon this retro place with a friend. Observing the attention to detail in the rooms, the furnishings and the light in the rooms, I realized that there is great care towards the customer, a lot of attention to cleanliness and the aesthetic aspect. We therefore opted for an à la carte choice. A raw amberjack with blood orange sauce and sake, an excellent combination, then a deer loin, with classic side dishes, and finally a pear semifreddo. All sublime, and also appreciated by my partner. Thanks to the great experts in the sector, we will definitely be back.

Very good cuisine and the dishes are served in a special atmosphere. I'd love to come back.

Excellent high standard restaurant. Enchanting location. Convenient to reach. Pleasant welcome. Everything perfectly organised. The food has fresh, good quality ingredients, well prepared and presented. The service is impeccable. Nice terrace for the summer. Decent selection of wines. Absolutely recommended and will return several times. Top five in Ticino.

Top food, atmosphere, service. Very recommendable

The atmosphere is inviting and the service is excellent. Unfortunately the kitchen lacks love (salt and taste), so we expected much more.

The rooster's motto We went for lunch and everything was excellent. Excellent cuisine and welcoming service. The dishes offered proved to be excellent and satisfying to the eye. Excellent value for money. We'll be back.

Everything was excellent, friendliness, professionalism, excellent food.

Everything delicious, excellent value for money... we will be back

A place like in another world. We were there for lunch and were full of enthusiasm for this unique oasis. The service was high-quality, old school, not at all aloof, but very warm and informal. We were given information about the entire history of the restaurant and the service took the time to answer our questions. The furnishings are super harmonious, modern elements paired with the old charm of the house where you could still really feel the old history. The food was very creative and with unique components that were seasonally coordinated Even though the pasta was a little overcooked, it still gets 5 stars because the taste was very well rounded. A special class feel-good place Thank you very much for that

It may be that it's my fault because I ordered very particular dishes, which were good but given the level of the place I expected something more

Regular customers of an excellent restaurant.

Quiet and pleasant environment, excellent food.

Beautiful restaurant for a romantic dinner. Professional and friendly waiters. Delicious food that guarantees an orgasm for the palate. I recommend everyone to go there. I will definitely be back.

Stunning setting: charming and pitoresque old houses. We had a fantastic dinner in a cosy room with a beautiful lit fireplace. We opted for the 4 courses menu and it was very tasty and carefully prepared. Prices absolutely match the quality. Staff was attentive, obliging and welcoming. Worth a visit!

The Motto del Gallo Restaurant is definitely one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. The food is a unique delight, from starter to dessert everything is absolutely perfect! The staff is friendly and makes you feel at ease. High prices, but every dish is worth every penny spent. We will definitely return and recommend it.

First time in this restaurant, tasting menu, excellent result from food to service. Very beautiful location, quiet and elegant environment. Attentive and kind waiters. Definitely recommended.

I was able to spend two wonderful days in one of the beautiful and rustic rooms. The atmosphere is reminiscent of an old “Borgo” Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. The food in the restaurant and the breakfast were very tasty and fresh. It's worth taking a trip here!

Very fine food in a cozy restaurant with fireplaces. Prices are to be expected to be rather high, but the price-performance ratio is right! There is no special children's menu, but my son (9) really enjoyed the bean soup. We stayed at Hotel Motto del Gallo for 2 nights. Our room was very large, like an apartment with everything on it. Very nice breakfast included, which is very warmly prepared. With the Ticino card you can travel easily and free from the hotel by public transport, for example to Splash&Spa and Lugano. We really enjoyed our time in Ticino!

Magnificent place near Lugano always as good for 20 years that I have frequented this establishment

Excellent place, very friendly staff and very competent cuisine. The 16 Gault Millau points fit perfectly! Traditional cuisine, with long and laborious preparations expressed correctly on the plate. Very balanced flavors! Excellent desserts and both with a salty touch. Brilliant! We'll be back!

We had a warm welcome. Dishes full of flavors and with local products. It was a moment suspended in time. The place is very romantic. Only downside: the mosquitoes... But that didn't change the flavors of the dishes and the wine.

Deserving of a Michelin star! A clear favorite of mine, and we will visit whenever we are in the area. Excellent service, in attention and explanation and support, with a birthday surprise included. Unbeatable!!!

Superb service and meal. Thank you :)

We had our wedding party in Motto del Gallo. The atmosphere was magical, the garden and the patio were perfect for summer party. The service was exceptional, staff were very friendly, welcoming and spoke multiple languages. The food and drinks served were very high quality and all our requests were accommodated by the Chef. Thank you for such a great day.

Very friendly Personal and very good meals

Really pleasant location and staff of rare kindness. Tasty and very well presented dishes. Not cheap but worth it.

We stayed overnight at this property. Cozy and well furnished rooms. Very good price quality for Switzerland. We'll be back .

I found it so modest and sad compared to this time. What a... beautiful experience! Excellent cuisine, IMPECCABLE service (!) amazing place. Wines and dishes truly bordering on perfection. Do not hesitate! also during the summer to stay in the garden which is very romantic. I also enjoyed the most unforgettable of risottos (thanks also to the skilful pairing with a perfect wine) in this unexpected place where an enchanted garden is revealed, and surprisingly revealed; of great character and history. Il Motto del Gallo is a "secret" place full of delicious and poetic surprises to discover, it knows how to distinguish itself in excellence but also knows how to add amazement! Filled with gratitude for the experience of absolute well-being; from the flavors to the thousand attentions... I enjoyed everything. Last but not least, hygiene combined with scrupulous compliance with the new covid regulations! Thank you. Well done! Wait, I'd have to find a flaw, right? 🤔 ah: the breadsticks were hard as rocks, risky for the teeth, but we really forgave them.

Cozy restaurant. Food was very good. Staff very good and competent. Weing parking spaces. Reservation necessary. Recommended. Any time. mfg rh

Lovely and very intimate setting. Suitable for a couple, family or business dinner. The staff is friendly and helpful. The dishes are well prepared as well as delicious and the portions are adequate. Super recommended 😃

The apartment is very beautiful the breakfast perfect the place so cozy. I would say that is an excellent place to stay

Impeccable location and service. Excellent choice and refined dishes.

Absolute goodness and very good service. I ate well in front of the fireplace. Very romantic

Super positive experience, fantastic risotto and desserts.

Excellent restaurant, friendly and intimate environment, quality of food and wine certainly lives up to its reputation. Gnocchi with Castel Magno are nothing short of superlative. Note of appreciation for the very friendly and helpful staff. Thank you, we will be back for sure.

Very good, helpfulness of the waiters, hospitality, very special places to see and try

Nice place, excellent dinner and friendly staff, congratulations to all!!!

Magnificent inn in an old adjoining house (over 200 years old). The staff are highly competent, lovely, helpful and give very good advice. The rooms are large, more like suites, or even old-style "loft", also in Duplex! The cuisine is very good, the products are fresh and local, as for the wine offerings, it is always done with taste and delicacy! An essential address, whether to eat or stay there!

A pleasant return. Very friendly and professional dining room staff and what can we say about the cuisine, a continuous discovery of flavors at every course. Congratulations and keep it up.

The Top!!! For me the best restaurant in the Lugano area, everything always perfect!!!

Excellent food with equal service! The restaurant is in an old fort, divided into small areas and tastefully decorated.

Here we were served a very high-quality, wonderfully coordinated menu. The service was friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately it was a bit cool in the shady spot we were assigned, but otherwise the terrace is very nice. The ambience inside is also very nice. A restaurant that we can highly recommend, even if it is not cheap, it is still worth the price.

Delicious cuisine, kind service. The wine list is excellent

Top, always high level. Very kind, excellent staff, more than good food, fabulous.

We had an excellent meal, accompanied by top service, in a wonderful atmosphere. We were also impressed by the wine list… we would love to come back… Bravo…

After you eat here you will be happy!

romantic restaurant and delicious food but they late to serve the order

Superb restaurant and hotel in a charming period building, magnificent rooms. Very welcoming children and charming staff. Very nice wine list.

Very friendly staff, spotless rooms and very good chef.

Excellent chef, excellent quality, courteous and reliable staff, I noticed that the rooms are spotless and fragrant.

reached around 2pm to the hotel and its closed.. No one is around. Called the hotel its went for auto response. Then called booking.com and even they couldn't reach anyone. Then finally the chef of the hotel turned up around 3.25pm and gave the key. Later the receptionist came after 20-25 minutes and casually said that Monday we are closed. They said we have given check-in time as 3pm. That's perfectly fine but there is zero communication regarding this to us. Next is the ticino ticket, they were not ready to take effort to create and give us the ticino ticket (which includes free transport and reduced cost for cable cars) . After so much discussions, finally Receptionist found the way to issue the ticino ticket. Very limited breakfast options that too if you ate vegetarian. 2nd day we were offered a cake with juice and not even a croissant. It's not a buffet breakfast. The room was duplex but the first floor had no air circulation properly and it remained hot for the full 2 nights. Last but not the least , the payment machine which they had, not every master or visa card would work there..! God knows what's the old age swiping machine . When my master card(the one used for my booking guarantee) was not working, he is casually telling me to open an account is Swiss using some twint app.. OMG its crazy out there with this hotel. They can't deduct the money using their booking.com account also.. not sure why.. Would never recommend this place. Pay a few Frank's extra and stay in somewhere better and peaceful place. Wrote this review in booking.com after our stay unfortunately since its a negative review, they haven't published it.

Excellent! Absolutely worth trying

Very nice, dignified location! Friendly staff and very good food!

The best restaurant I've ever been to in the world. Very attentive staff welcomes every wish. It was a magical evening. Thank you so much for that ❤️

One of my favourite restaurants for special occasions. High-end cuisine with a homely and local touch. Very professional staff. And (considering the quality and customer experience) also a competitive price.

Very nice place, mediocre food, too expensive in my view

High level restaurant (could have a Michelin star) in a charming structure. Beautiful outdoor area protected and used in different seasons. Adequate price, not cheap. No sight.

The service is very friendly 👌 3 menus to choose from 👎

Good food really cozy place and helpful stuff.
