November 25, 7:00 PM THE ART OF CELEBRATION

An invitation to celebrate beauty, taste, and the art of living.

Villa Principe Leopoldo opens its doors to an exclusive evening in collaboration with Bellavista, where every detail becomes emotion.

Between aromas, bubbles, and signature dishes, an experience unfolds in perfect harmony of elegance and pleasure.

Let yourself be embraced by the charm of a night to remember.

Set in a place of prestige, nestled in the hills overlooking Lugano, the historic residence of Villa Principe Leopoldo radiates an aura of timeless elegance, making every moment unforgettable.

24, 25 and 26 December 2025 Festive Season

A magical time awaits, where the art of haute cuisine meets the warmth and poetry of Christmas.

In the heart of the Villa, between blue reflections and floral accents, the restaurant glows with elegance and light, embracing every table in a refined, dreamlike atmosphere that turns each moment into a lasting memory.

Chef Cristian Moreschi celebrates the most authentic flavours of the season with a gastronomic journey that blends emotion and technique, memory and modern creativity.

From Christmas Eve, where sea and land meet in harmony with stuffed calamari with puntarelle and burrata, black garlic tagliolini with cardoncelli mushrooms and artichokes, and a delicate sea bass and prawn bouillabaisse, to the sweet finale of Or Noir chocolate semifreddo with Williams pear, each dish becomes a masterpiece of taste and style.

On Christmas Day, the celebration continues with lobster salad with spiced carrot and Champagne foam, soft-yolk cappellacci with Merlottino fondue and black truffle, followed by two exquisite highlights: Glacier 51 cod with artichokes and citrus, and the traditional Ardèche capon – just as the Prince liked it.

A journey through noble aromas, velvety textures, and impeccable service, culminating in the Christmas Sweet Surprise and the Villa’s artisan panettone.

On St. Stephen’s Day, the festive spirit softens into a more relaxed yet equally refined experience: crispy tuna tartare with sambal mayonnaise, ricotta gnocchi with duck liver sauce, golden scallops with fennel and lemon, and the magnificent boned venison saddle with quince and red cabbage.

A finale of sweetness and harmony with the hazelnut and mandarin duet and the timeless traditional St. Stephen’s log cake.
