My wife and I had a terrific lunch in all regards. The service was prompt, attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The setting on the terrace with the view across Lago Maggiore and the general ambience were very nice as well. However, the excellent food is the real star. We each chose to have the three-course menu, which had been recently set for autumn. We found each of our dishes to be excellent: rabbit liver pate, hazelnut-encrusted venison, and peach tarte with caramel ice cream. Weâre currently planning when will be our next visit.Dear travelin-tommy, warm thanks for your great review. We are happy you had a terrific experience at our restaurant. Besides our daily changing 4-course menu, we have a quiet large menu card which we adapt about every 3 months, according to the season. The autumn menu card, which proposes also game, has just been set in the beginning of September and you were the first to taste it We are looking forward to seeing you soon again at the Collinetta for one more tasty lunch or dinner. Sunny regards.

My husband and I have been visiting the SEVEN restaurant several times in the past five years.It has never occurred to me that I got treated as an unwelcomed second class guest in my entire life than this time:A friend from South-East Asia came visiting me in Switzerland. We just drove from Zermatt directly to Ascona, to the restaurant SEVEN, because I wanted to show her a nice spot in Ascona to eat out.Since we wore our trekking gear from the Zermatt hike, we were about to be seated at a table with a wall right in front of us(!), although other tables were available with views to the lake and the setting sun.We then politely asked to be seated to the neighbour table with lake view. Which the chief of service (the blond guy, our guess from the behaviour of the other waiters) hesitantly allowed us to be seated.We had to ask for the wine and food menue twice and waited 15â until we asked three waiters if we could order wine and meals.We waited another 35â until our meals were being served.Although we gave them the feedback as we did now in this review, nothing had been untertaken. We consumed meals and wines for CHF 210.â and even paid for the espresso.We would like to outline that Celine and Claudio were very kind to us and committed. Without them, we would have left right away. The food was good. The wine (Unique, Donatsch, 2009) was excellent.However, I will not return to Seven again.Dear Benji, allow us to correct you: we do not treat people wearing trekking gear (or jeans, or leggings) as second class customers. We do, however, reserve our best tables to the customers who took care to book one. In high season, diners who "pop in" last minute, might have to settle for the less scenic tables, despite us striving to accomodate everyone with the best we can offer.As for that particular evening, we had just been "greeted" by a summer storm. Diners seated outside had to be quicky transferred inside, with their dishes, bottles, glasses... an organizational nightmare, swiftly and expertly taken care of by our motivated staff. Then, as the storm cleared, we had to ensure everyone got accomodated back to their tables outside.. that's why you saw empty tables, but were told by our manager that they were not free, and that's why, unfortunately, we did accumulate a little delay in serving you and our other kind customers. Next time, we advise you to book your table in advance, to guarantee the best sightseeing spot to enjoy your meal.. unfortunately we can only cross our fingers to keep the summer storms away!
