Restaurants cuisine régionale Italian Switzerland

In this family-run restaurant run by the Iacomini brothers, you can sample typical Italian dishes and specialties from Ticino. Everything is delicious and traditionally prepared. Tasty, robust cuisine, like the braised beef with merlot and parmesan risotto, a delight. The setting is superb, from the magnificently tranquil garden and terrace in summer to the dining room and fireplace in winter. We appreciate the conviviality of this place and the friendly staff.

Paolo offers seasonal regional cuisine based on his Ticinese grandmother's recipes, with a personal touch. Everything is simple and delicious, from polenta with ossobuco to venison with a bouquet of chestnuts, spätzle, pears and red cabbage. Delicious local cheeses. Prices are unbeatable and portions generous. This is local cuisine that warms the heart with its tastes and flavors. A good moment to share after visiting the nearby church of San Lorenzo.

Only a hundred metres from the lake shore, in a small street like Ascona has the secret, here is a very special place. Here you can enjoy a unique menu of local cuisine at the same price for everyone. For example: for the starter, mixed salad as well as salami and mortadella served on a wooden board, then for the main course, veal with mushroom sauce and polenta, followed by cheese. The setting is pleasant and the welcome warm. The garden is particularly charming. A table d'hôtes like no other.

The Vetta restaurant, perched atop Monte San Salvatore, boasts an open-air terrace and panoramic veranda. The scenery is spectacular. You can even see Milan in the distance. You can dine on tasty, seasonal, Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Service is friendly despite the crowds. Ideal for a break, an aperitif or a local dish, with the added bonus of an enchanting panorama of the Lugano skyline.

Not everyone has the budget to stay at the sublime Villa Orselina, but visitors can take advantage of the hotel's spectacular views to enjoy lunch, dinner for two or dinner on their own, overlooking the pearly waters of Lake Maggiore, into which the mountains fall. On the plate, the perfect harmony of Mediterranean flavors and the local Italian culinary tradition will seduce you. You can also have breakfast here. Impeccable service.
