Ristorante Il Boccalino

Reviewed By sandra_flitwick

Warmly welcomed to this restaurant tucked beyond Grand Piazza. Much busier than neighbouring restaurants on the piazza, but great service. My husband had the lamb, which he said was delicious. I had the ravioli. We stayed for dessert, the chocolate mousse was amazing. The dining highlight of our Locarno trip

An elegant, beautiful fine dining restaurant. Both entrées were very good, with the ravioli with quark and leek in a mushroom sauce being the standout. The il misto di Pesce was a delicious assortment of 5 different fish and shellfish. My husband was slightly less impressed with his veal with morels and said he felt hungry afterwards which is very unusual for him. Service overall was good, but lost focus towards the end of our meal. The only minor negative was that the waiter insisted that service was not included in the bill: even though as a Swiss I know that it is mandated by Federal law (passed some 35 years ago) that service is included throughout Switzerland. A relaxing and enjoyable evening. Recommend.

La Chiesa

The Restaurant Lachiesa is next to the ,,Santa Trinità" church in Locarno Monti. The restaurant has been renovated some years ago and has a beautiful view on the Maggiore Lake. Mediterranean dishes with some French and Asiatic details. Open days: from Tue

We live in these parts and have been wanting to try La Chiesa for some time now. This 14-point Gault-Millau restaurant is located in a beautifully restored church perched on the hillside overlooking Locarno. The Christmas menu included 4 courses (with amuse-bouche starter) - moist fish roulade with truffles, homemade al dente ravioli, juicy duck breast with a vegetable purée, and a nut roulade with homemade gelato to finish. Each dish was perfectly prepared, flavorful and pleasing to the eye. The wine list includes some interesting local choices, the service was friendly and attentive, the view spectacular. Worthy of its rating.

Osteria Chiara

Reviewed By 637louiseh

We enjoyed a splendid lunch here on a Saturday - tasty amuses-bouche of local carpaccio, fork-tender osso bucco with a crunchy veggie gremolata and al dente saffron risotto, and a homemade curacao zabaione over vanilla ice cream. Thank you chef Antonio! The service was warm and friendly and all wines on offer have been tasted by the staff. We live here so we can confirm that this is one of the best eateries in town.

Locanda Locarnese

Closed for holidays antil 7 july

Reviewed By mvandenbroek

We were advised by a friend to have supper here, so we booked a table. It is good that we did that, because it turned out that the small place was full in the evening. No wonder, the service and food are excellent! Also the atmosphere is special: It feels like being at someone's home. The menu is small, but the things we had were all superb. There is no mention of salad or wine by the glas on the menu, so just ask for it.

Osteria del Centenario

Reviewed By matthewbT9247JI

Well, we are just the luckiest. Easter Saturday night with no reservation anywhere, and turned away from 4-5 places before finding this gem. Fine food, great wines, excellent service! Every morsel was a delight for the senses, service was exceptional and the wines were delicious. Thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the visit and would recommend it to anyone. Pricey, but worth every penny compared to the nearest competition.

A very basic, rural, authentic and lovely Osteria with a cozy courtyard and open kitchen! One can smell the delicious bbq from far away and you won't be disappointed! Don't expect anything fancy, back to the basics, amazingly well done! We'll be back for sure!

Ristorante Al Fresco

Reviewed By 637louiseh

I live nearby and Al Fresco is my go-to eatery when I don't feel like cooking. Why? Good food, friendly service and an amazing view of Laggo Maggiore. The pizzas and risottos are delish (especially the red wine risotto with radicchio and mullet) but the sizzling steak on a hot stone is my dish of choice - perfectly grilled and served with home fries and seasonal veggies. This is one of the best spots to eat in the area and well worth the drive or short walk uphill from town.
