What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Casa Tolone is praised for its authentic, family-run Italian dining experience, featuring exceptional handmade pasta and a remarkable wine cellar. Reviewers consistently highlight the warm hospitality of the Tolone family and the high quality of fresh ingredients. While most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, a few diners noted a slow start to service during busy periods, which the staff often rectified with apologies and complimentary gestures.
"Casa Tolone is a second-generation Italian gem in Lucerne and in my opinion the best Italian Restaurant in Lucerne, now expertly run by Dario and Domenico, the sons of Mr. Tolone. Stepping inside feels like being transported to Italy, with authentic architecture and a warm, inviting ambiance. The food is exceptional, with a strong emphasis on high-quality ingredients, just as it should be. The wine cellar is impressive, offering a wide selection of Italian wines. Tonight we had some amazing Barollo, I enjoyed some magnificent ravioli and a perfectly cooked Fiorentina steak—both were outstanding. The atmosphere and service were equally superb, making for a truly memorable experience."

"Simply the best! If you are looking for high quality Italian food and wine with a very kind and hospitable owner you need to try this restaurant. Me and my best friend were out for my birthday to have dinner somewhere. Little did we know majority of the kitchens close around 10pm. So I called up this place and Domenico was kind enough to fix us truffle pasta followed by tiramisu at 11pm. Thank you so much for your hospitality, we will be back when in the region."
Esme Ünsal
"Great customer service and food, not easy to find these days in Switzerland.
Everything we ordered was perfect! Fresh bread and pasta, good meat and fish, on top of that you have an excellent selection of wines. Just ask for help and guidance, the Tolone family will take care of your needs, we will definitely be back!
Summer tip: A great outdoor patio for the summer!"

The Best Restaurants in Lucerne
Gianmarco Tolone slices white truffles over the fried egg and that's it. Good food is that simple. The burrata also shows just how much the focus is on the good product in this inconspicuous Italian restaurant slightly off the beaten track of Lucerne's tourist traps: fresh, milky, delicious.
