Quadrifoglio - Caslano

We had great Pizza and pasta there, but also meat is very good, and the owners are really friendly. It's very nice when you can be outside on the terrace, just 2 steps from the lake.

As there are only 3 restaurants on the lake front main strip in Caslano and I hate to go where tourists flock like blind sheep, it was tough to choose where to have a meal. As Quadrifoglio was devoid of foreigners and resembled a a vine covered Mediterranean terrace, we decided to give it a go. I'm sure it's even cuter in the evening by candlelight. We were the only table there and as it was just after lunchtime, 14:15hrs, the young male server informed us that only Pizzas were available. Fine with us, just what we needed after a long drive from Zürich.The server was courteous and professional without too much interaction. For a touristic destination, I'd have expected more chit chat from him, but at least he smiled. My girl and I both ordered pizzas and as a chilli freak, I asked if they had any home made 'peperoncino' or 'picante' sauce. He smiled cheekily and brought out fresh habanero chillies, dried chilli flakes and 'an olio di pepperoncino picante' chilli oil. I was well pleased. Mind you it wasn't hot enough for me so I ended up using my own Naga Jolokia chilli sauce that is my loyal dining companion.Pizzas were affordable. I ordered a tuna and red onion pizza (CHF 16) and the other half ordered a small prosciutto and mushroom pizza (CHF 13). Smaller pizzas can be ordered for a reduction of 3 CHF off the menu price. If you're not famished, I suggest getting a smaller pizza, it's still almost 30 cms in size.The pizza dough was very good, not too thin and definitely not deep pan, puffed up in the right places. It could have been a cooked longer, a touch crispier. The tomato sauce was perfect; uncooked and simply blended tomatoes. I hate cooked tomato sauces on pizzas. The mozzarella was OK, obviously commercial but as you'd expect in any 'non-gourmet' pizzeria. My tuna pizza was tasty, full of onions and I devoured it within a couple of minutes. The mushrooms on my partner's pizza were out of a can and that is why I have only given them an 'average' rating. Fresh mushrooms are always available in Europe and are relatively inexpensive. There is absolutely NO excuse for using canned mushrooms. Artichokes, I can understand as they're essentially seasonal but mushrooms? No, never, sacrilege.All in all, we'd definitely return.

New owners if it was bad before no much better had to wait at à long time for à very simple dish and no apologies

Ehrliches, sehr schmackhaftes Essen und ein unglaublich sympathischer, hundefreundlicher Gastgeber. Es ist schade, dass der Wirt bald den Standort wechseln muss, aber wir werden ihm folgen.

Das Menü war sehr erweitert von Pizza über Pasta bis hin zu Hamburger. . 2 von uns hatten Pizza großen Geschmack, sorgfältig zubereitet. Cheeseburger war eine Art andere Erfahrung. . Pizzateig statt Brot, Pommes nicht schmackhaft. .
