GROTTINO TICINESE

Not to be missed! This grotto a few kilometers from Ascona (just over 5 minutes by car) is well worth a visit. In a rustic setting with wooden tables and stone walls, you can enjoy authentic Ticino cuisine: cold cuts, local cheeses and sausages, polenta cooked over an open fire (a must try!), vitello tonnato and meats (rabbit served every Sunday). Everything is tasty and smells of generous family cooking. Curious diners will appreciate the dialect menu, and the French-speaking staff are as friendly as can be.
