Red and white checked tablecloths, beautiful pergola, small windows with white curtains, very cozy and old fashioned but I wouldn't have it otherwise. The owner is very friendly, food is excellent, very relaxing atmosphere. The polenta is soft and the meat is tender.If you take the house wine it's ok but the wine list is pretty good and not at all expensive.Good service.

I was staying at the hotel next door and popped in here for pizza. It was amazing. The crust was very light and thin and the sauce was fabulous. It was reasonably priced for the pizza too $16 for cheese. They do offer takeaway pizza but they charge a few more dollars per pizza. The other menu items looked delicious as well. Dear Jilfurness, thank you very much for the great score and the excellent review! We are really happy to read that you enjoyed our tasty wood fire oven baked pizzas and we hope to welcoming you again, so that you may try the fresh seasonal proposals as well. A presto!Guest Relations

After a sail around the lake, this restaurant offers a relaxing waterfront dining experience. Not gourmet but interesting ambiance.

The restaurant was recommended by our Hotel as an excellent fish restaurant. So we went there to have dinner. The location looked nice. However, the staff were neither friendly nor welcoming. Unfriendly, rushed service at first, then a long wait. The plates were prepared next to the waiting area for arriving guests. Our main plate was the "Misto di Pesce". There was not a lot of fish on the plate and we could taste the charcoal. For nothing special and a bad service we paid a lot of money. We will never return.

Visited this place in the middle of a hike through the area. Food was amazing, especially the chicken cooked in the fireplace. I was a little worried when I first saw it (as I haven't experienced anything like that before), but they truly know what they are doing. Special mention of the coffee. It was, without a doubt, the BEST cappuccino I've ever had in Switzerland. You should try it, even if you don't like coffee :)

My husband booked us a table at this charming grotto for a Sunday lunch whilst we were staying in the Induna Olona area. Although we have travelled in the area a number of times, we hadn't experienced a genuine 'grotto' - and what a delightful experience it turned out to be. We were seated at the end of a large, communal dining bench, under a pergola heavy with vines. An olive wood board of exquisitely rustic charcuterie arrived - and rapidly disappeared... as did a bottle of the local red wine, which we drank from small pottery cups, grotto-style. Mains were perfectly grilled cuts of pork and lamb from the barbecue. Grotto del Cavic was packed with families enjoying their Sunday lunches - it was a wonderful atmosphere in a very pretty setting and the food was superb. It also made a welcome change from some of the region's more formal, finer dining restaurants.

Decent place for a dinner with very friendly service, but I wouldn't go out of my way to dine there again. We had Antipasti Morchino, grilled rabbit and luganighetta sausage. Cheese and most of the cold cuts were very good and I also enjoyed their sausage. I wasn't impressed with the rabbit though. The meat wasn't as juicy and flavorful as I expected. Also, I doubt that our dishes were done on actual grill. At least, I didn't see it outside, but it may be different during warmer time of a year. Also, keep in mind that they have menu only in Italian, so may want to check their English menu online.Hi IhorM,Thanks for your review.I'm glad that you enjoyed our specialities.As for the rabbit, Iâve to mention thatâs usually not cooked on the grill in our area.We prepare it stewed served with its sauce and polenta.The meat of the rabbit is however a fairly dry meat without fat and therefore we prefer to prepare it stewed.The grill is located at the end on our summer terrace and from there all the grilled meats arrive, taken care of our âchefâ.Ours is a typical place where we want to maintain its âtypicalityâ by leaving the menu in our Italian language.For translations we have our website and the staff can explain the menu in English, French, German for those who do not speak Italian.Best regardsPierluigi Olgiati

Nice Cozy place for meat dinners. We had a nice carpaccio and local meats plate for starters, then ribs and steak for main. beers are nice (bottled), local Merlot wine is not as good as the Barbera.Local made deserts (chocolate muss, Tiramisu) were very good. Service is nice though on the slow side.Summary: nice cozy place for meat dinner. nice atmosphere. food is good not fine dining but very good. price is fair.
