Strolling thru Lugano you always end up at this piazza with several restaurants and cafes. The best is Vanini where tables never stay empty too long its place where everybody meets for cappuccino in the morning or aperitif in the evening. Great spot to watch time go by
Great pizza, good central location with friendly service - not cheap though. The calzone looks scary, limited choice of beers.
The Piazza is beautiful. Definitely worth a stroll through. It, however, really isn't much of an attraction. You will appreciate much more strolling through the meandering streets of Lugano and seeing the high end merchants than a plaza full of financial institutions and restaurants. Don't get me wrong, you need to walk through the Piazza; but nothing more than walk through it on your way down to the lake is warranted.
Nice town square with restaurants and shops all a round.Typical Italian style square,since Lugano is in the Italian canton of Ticino.You'll see it while strolling along the lake,you can't miss it
Went on a Saturday and loads of free entertainment and things going on Some pricey cafe's and restaurants around but all very nice
Visited Lake Lugano and enjoyed a glass of wine with nibbles in Piazza della Riforma on Sunday 12th October 2014. Stunning scenery, beautiful lake and mediterranean atmosphere in the Piazza. Great service in immaculate surroundings - bit pricey but worth it for a visit and a treat!
Bustling piazza with lots of choices of outdoor restaurants to eat at. We strolled around here after our dinner on a Saturday night and watched some locals playing street chess. Lovely walk back to the funicular station to reach our hotel up the top of the town.
What more would you want! A pretty place where one can see people strolling or shopping or just going to the Bank. It is attractive now due to Xmas Decorations.
There is a lovely tea room of famous Vanini where you can sit down and enjoy the view of this Luganese square whilst sipping a cappuccino. There are other restaurants around the square but Vanini is a unique experience! You see the world passing by in this "piazza*!
I was here new years eve at the night. The place was well visited and the atmosphere was very good. If you are here at new year the place is worth to visit at midnight.
