Caffè Portici

A great lunch spot my friend and I happened to stumble upon while cruising around Lugano. We ventured away from the super-​touristy spots and spotted this place down an unassuming side street. All the patrons looked like locals and we were attracted by the clean, modern décor. Looked like we’d probably get some decent, reasonably-​priced eats and that’s exactly what we got. They have a nice selection of sandwiches and salads so we each got a sandwich to try. I got a hot italian coldcut-​combo kind of thingy and it was really delicious! I don’t know how they got their bread so lightly crisp on the outside and so fluffy and delicious on the inside, but it was kind of magical. Washed down with some light beer, it was a great lunch. Our waitress was very nice and friendly too!
