We just returned from Parco San Marco and had the pleasure of dining at La Musa twice.   The two different tasting menus we had were superb.   Everything from the presentation to the quality of the food to the uniqueness of the dishes was beyond expectations.   Service was exceptional without being pretentious.   The chefs took the time to come out while the courses were each explained in detail.  Overall some of the best tasting menus we've ever had, worthy of a Michelin star in our opinion.

My husband and I had a fantastic night at La Musa. The view of Lake Lugano was absolutely stunning and was a perfect complement to the delicious food. We were well taken care of by Matteo and his team. Matteo also offered to help us pair wine with our selected menu. Many thanks to the La Musa team for this wonderful experience.

The view and atmosphere are perfect.
It deserves at least 2 Michelin stars ⭐️
Much better than many Michelin restaurants I ate at.

Will come again for sure!

The food was average at best and very overpriced. The head chef didnt even look like he wanted to be there and didnt even know his own dishes. The service stood out to myself and my partner with Vito being polite and attentive and Pietro and Ross always smiling and just seeming as if they enjoy their work while also being very proffesional. If the food and chefs attitude was better it would be a gem but unfortunately we will not be back.
