About Langosteria
For a St. Moritz meal where the brief is Italian Contemporary, Langosteria is a clear fit for diners who are comfortable with a €€€€ restaurant. The essentials are straightforward: Italian Contemporary cuisine, smart-casual dress, daily lunch and dinner hours, Michelin Plate recognition in 2025.
The practical read is simple: consider it for a planned meal when the group wants a high-end Italian Contemporary choice rather than a casual stop.

Italian Contemporary is the reason to choose it, not just the St. Moritz setting

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Langosteria at Chesa Chantarella reads like a study in alpine contrasts: a remote, high‑altitude setting and a deliberately warm, focused interior. The Milanese group’s disciplined, seafood‑first approach carries into the mountains, favoring minimal transformation and high‑grade ingredients. The dining room leans into luxury without ostentation — the altitude, the journey by funicular or on foot across the snow and the restaurant’s restrained execution create a composed, close‑quartered atmosphere. A 2025 Michelin Plate acknowledges consistent quality, and the overall effect is an intimate, cozy alpine refuge where Italian seafood is presented with clarity rather than heavy-handed technique.
Best For
This is a destination for evening dining in St. Moritz — a considered stop when you’re allocating a special night out. Its remote perch on Corviglia and positioning among the resort’s pricier restaurants make it especially appropriate for date nights, celebrations and other special‑occasion dinners after a day on the slopes. The practicalities of access (funicular or a winter walk) mean guests treat the visit as a planned splurge rather than an incidental meal; the kitchen’s steady execution and Michelin Plate recognition reinforce that it’s a place to linger over a thoughtful seafood menu.
Ordering Tips
Lean into the restaurant’s seafood strengths and the signature items highlighted in the write‑up. Prioritize the langoustine and the lobster pasta, and sample the taglioni with scampi and caviar as a showpiece of the kitchen’s delicate touch. The truffle pizza is also noted among the signatures. The review emphasizes sourcing and minimal interference, so opt for preparations that let premium seafood speak for itself rather than heavy sauces or overworking ingredients; treat the meal as a composed parade of focused seafood dishes.

Restaurant context
How It Compares
Against Amandus, Osteria della Brughiera, and THE VIEW, Langosteria sits in the same high-spend Italian Contemporary bracket, so the decision is less about saving money and more about the type of evening. Choose Langosteria when the group wants polished resort dining and a seafood-leaning Italian frame; choose the others when their setting or specific room style better matches the trip.
Filo and al lago are the more value-conscious cross-shops because both sit one price tier lower. If the occasion does not need the full luxury spend, start there. If the dinner is meant to feel like a planned St. Moritz night rather than a convenient Italian meal, Langosteria is the stronger fit.
