The food should be of no concern, it is very Italian (i.e. lots of excellent pizza and pasta) and less expensive than elsewhere in Switzerland. Last night a colleague and I went to a local restaurant in a suburb of Lugano, and managed to spend only 58 CHF on two excellent pizzas with appetizers and several beers. The only caution is to stay away from the local red wine. It is usually Merlot, without character, totally lacking in the attributes that make wine interesting. The whites are much better. Of course, Italy is right next door, and after the conference ended this afternoon I drove down to Como for a couple of hours walking around and some shopping. I love all things Italian.
