DEDICATION AND PASSION FOR FINE TASTES
Gabbani is a family company steeped in tradition. Founded on 23 December 1937 by Domenico Gabbani, a qualified butcher and experienced gastronome, opened his butcher and delicatessen shop in an old town house in Via Pessina. In those days, circumstances were rather humble, Domenico’s wife, Giulietta Beltrami from the Blenio valley, ran the register, while he and his sister-in-law served behind the counter and a delivery boy took care of the deliveries.
Although it was years beyond its time, the small family business committed very early to gastronomy. The war years were a hard on everyone, but at the beginning of the economic boom, the business started to flourish. Gabbani developed its brand and became the place in Lugano for exquisite specialities, fine tastes and quality and it still is today.
At the beginning of the 1960s, Domenico’s son Lino took over the responsibilities of running the business and developed the company with considerable entrepreneurial vision.
Specialisation, appreciation of regional products, individual service and customer care are the basic principles of the latest additions to the business. The butcher shop has been joined by cheese shop with a fruit and vegetable corner, as well as a bakery, a wine shop and a flower shop. Efficient and creative in style, they represent the modern version of the traditional town shop and breathe new life into the old town of Lugano with their vibrancy and charm. Flourishing trade favours the urban environment and the Gabbani family company have made a valuable contribution with courage and perseverance.
Gabbani has also been a pioneer in the field of catering and event management. Since the 1960s it has been providing tailor-made services for private and business events and in keeping with the trends, also full service range for banqueting and congresses.

Today, Domenico and Francesco, Lino’s sons, continue the gastronomic traditions of the business with great commitment and passion.
High standards of quality, valuable raw materials, local and artisan products and the spirit of innovation are deeply rooted
in the traditions of Gabbani and have been carefully cultivated from its beginnings to the present day.

The Gabbani Restaurant & Bar opened in the Piazza Cioccaro in 2010 and at the same time, the cheese, bakery, wine, and fruit and vegetable shops also relocated their businesses there. A stylish mix of fine food shops emerged together with the restaurant and bar, creating an exciting culinary project in a historic setting, right in the middle of Lugano’s old town.
In 2012 the extraordinary structure around the ancient courtyard of a former convent opened its doors as the Hotel Gabbani. The Design hotel in the center of Lugano, offers 17 rooms and impresses with an individually designed high class interior, the perfect choice for guests looking for an unique and charming ambience surrounded by the culinary temptations of Gabbani’s fine food shops.
In the same year the historic meat processing workshop Prada in Bioggio was integrated into the company. This is a significant step and allows Gabbani to directly control the quality and origin of its meat products, as well as their processing and in-house storage. The Director Mauro Prada continues to run the business together with the Gabbani brothers.
In 2015, Gabbani took over the Gant production workshop for Panettone and Amaretti in Novazzano (the well-known former Vialetto). Delicious pastries, are prepared here every day with great care and skill according to traditional recipes, handmade with best quality ingredients.
