Osteria dell'Enoteca

€€€€
In a quiet residential area, charm and refinement are the hallmarks of this modern osteria, skillfully and warmly managed by a young couple who offer delicious dishes with modern and creative flair. The large fireplace is the guardian spirit of the restaurant, but in summer, service also moves out to the flower-filled garden, which, like the dining room, features works of art. There is an interesting selection of Ticino wines! The surprise menu “Lascio a voi” (“I leave it up to you”) is available – any food intolerances, as well as vegetarian or vegan preferences, should be communicated in adv

Chef Campanella offers highly personalized cuisine, with a keen focus on the simplicity of raw ingredients and on pairings – an approach shaped by his countless travels around the world and enriched with an indispensable Mediterranean touch from his Italian heritage. The two menus remain unchanged and are executed with masterful perfection: Moving Mountains (vegan) and Ispirazione (with fish and meat). Guests can choose from five to eight courses. The wine list is sure to meet the expectations of the most discerning connoisseurs, who can also engage with the knowledgeable sommelier. In the war

In the refined gourmet restaurant of the “Giardino” hotel, Reto Brändli has taken the helm of the kitchen, succeeding Rolf Fliegauf. With a culinary style that is essential yet sophisticated, technically flawless and rich in nuance, he successfully continues the restaurant’s tradition. The excellence of the ingredients is evident in dishes such as South African lobster served with mango, coconut, and kaffir lime. The service, impeccable in expertise, courtesy, and elegance, helps make the experience truly memorable. All of this is framed by a sophisticated setting, enhanced by a wall decorated

Alla Cantina
Sicilian, Classic Cuisine · Bib
€€
Although all the staff at this beautiful historic restaurant on the village square hail from Sicily, they have been working in Switzerland for years. Here, authentic Sicilian cuisine is served in a rustic and welcoming setting that also provides the backdrop for regular music events: the only concessions to Ticino are the polenta-based dishes. Our inspector particularly recommends the sarde in “Beccafico”(stuffed sardine roulade with breadcrumbs, sultanas, pine nuts and orange peel). There’s also a pleasantly cool and tranquil outdoor space for summer dining, plus four attractive and inviting
