Although I wouldn't call Lugano the ""best"" restaurant in the valley, it is definitely worthy of being dubbed honorable mention. My only qualm is in the service. Not much of a needy guy myself but the people here are almost too overzealous to clear plates and/or silverware that don't need clearing. One dish was even whisked off without our table having finished it yet! But the dishes are superb. Lamb shank: 10. Pork loin: 9.5. Mussels in claypot: 9.5. Rosemary chicken: 8 (bit too dry). Ravioli specials: 9. Wine list: 8.5. Not as substantial as Fresco but better than Caffe Molisse.
Pros: easy parking, friendly hostess, nice locale
Cons: too overzealous, water tastes funny
