Locarno, a charming Swiss city on Lake Maggiore, dazzles with its film festival, palm-fringed promenades, and fondue, polenta, and fresh fish specialties.

"Very successful restaurant where you feel comfortable, very friendly owner who manages the service. Now to the culinary side, Vitello tonnato tasted very good and was nicely prepared, unfortunately the salad was missing as noted on the menu. The ravioli with osso buco filling with gremolata: 3 pieces are simply not enough, Filling was like puree without any pizzazz, sauce was very soggy and had no taste. Carelessly done, a shame about the work. Didn't want to complain on site, didn't want to ruin my evening."

"Eigentlich ein nettes Lokal, allerdings ist die Bedienung unehrlich und gibt absichtlich zu wenig Wechselgeld beim Bezahlen, stellt sich bei Beanstandung dann noch nichtwissend, ignoriert den Wunsch der Kundschaft und ergaunert sich so zusätzliches Trinkgeld."

"Die Auswahl des Essens war sehr vielfältig und regional. Ich war im Hotel Belvedere mit Halbpension und konnte so jeweils ein köstliches Abendessen im La Fontana geniessen. Nebst einem Fleisch- oder Fisch-Menu im Hauptgang gab es jeweils auch ein kreatives Vegi-Menu. Das Essen war jeweils sehr schön angerichtet und schmeckte vorzüglich. Das Personal ist sehr serviceorientiert. Man wird schon beim Eintreten sehr freundlich begrüsst und zum Tisch geführt und auch beim weiteren Service fehlt es an nichts."

"We've been living half-time in Locarno for 4 years and to this day we've never been to the Bottega, a big mistake. It is undoubtedly one of the best places in town. We had goose liver, fresh salmon and Entercote Café de Paris. Maybe not for everyone. But you can't beat what we had! We'll be back soon."

"today I came to the restaurant with a friend who is pregnant and our two young children. and asked to give us a table and feed the children from the children's menu, to whom I told that the service ended...2 clock, I explained that we had come a long way and the children who are 6 years old and 2 years old were hungry and were hungry. to whom I was told that they were not interested and they could only give pizza. I thought he was gonna sweat and call the manager. to whom this man said that he was, and could not help us in any way. I was amazed at the attitude towards the customers and even more towards the children. the food was still served by the kitchen and the waiters wore it to the tables. the manager stood and smiled in a bad way. we wanted to look for another restaurant. this is a disgusting team formation!"

"my friend and I are in the boccalino to lunch.my friend had tintenfisch carpaccio as an appetizer, it should have been better seasoned. as mains the fish at a cream sauce with mandel splinter, with pommes. the fish has not been able to see before loud sauce and mandel splinters. has accordingly not tasted for fish, but only after mandling, a pity, because it was not favorable.I had the warm tinted fish with kartoffeln. he tasted super.Halbe portion for 18.-. but it could have been a bit more for half a portion anyway. I ordered a teller spaghetti with scampi. was very good and I would order him again. in the Swiss I never had so many scampis in my spaghettis. great!!What I thought was great that we still got a limoncello on the house.I can recommend the boccalino"

"We were a group of 10 that popped in for lunch. The owner, Marco, was so accommodating, and quickly found us a table outside that would fit our entire group. Most of us had panini and then, of course, finished off our meal with the incredible gelato!!! I would definitely recommend this place when in the area. Marco is passionate about his restaurant and it truly shows!!"

"Ich bin an diesem Ort vorbeigekommen und weil die Gartenterrassen so schön aussahen und ob da jemand Gitarre spielte, machte ich kurz Halt. Die Bar ist eigentlich direkt daneben, aber durch das Fenster kann man auch von außen bestellen (Selbstbedienung). Ich bestellte ein Frago Spritz was ok war. Ich kenne den Likör, den sie hinzufügen, und würde es mögen, wenn ich es ein bisschen besser schmecken könnte. Ich denke, dieser Ort ist perfekt zum Sitzen und Entspannen und genießen Sie den warmen Abend."

"I did not expect a expierence like this at all, I have just been going up the mountain because i wanted to have some snow in Locarno during winter, and then after 3 hours its started to rain. The place is uniquely located, overseeing the full region/lakes, and the service is really really good, at least in the restaurant. It was during COVID so we had the full restaurant for ourselves so that can mean a lot, but the food was good and they catered to vegetarians./vegans well as well, with some pasta dishes and the soup of carrote/limone with was pretty nice. The drinks and the tea was good too! Was expecting nothing at all, so was really flabourguested that it was so good! We paid 120/CHF for two persons for a meal lunch"

"Von den vollen Restaurants am See abgeschreckt (Coronavirus) haben wir uns von der Piazza Grande aus umgesehen. Das La Rinasciente haben wir nur per Zufall entdeckt... ein absoluter Glücksfall. Ein gediegener, ruhiger Innenhof in den alten Gemäuern mit genügend Abstand zwischen den Tischen. Der Service exzellent und äusserst aufmerksam, die Karte klein aber oho und die Speisen eine Freude für Augen und Gaumen. Wir haben uns für das Degustationsmenü entschieden. Die Vorspeise, ein Wolfsbarsch Carpaccio, war so zart, dass sie fast auf der Zunge zerging, und neckisch abgeschmeckt mit Passionsfrucht, rosa Pfeffer und Mangomousse. Das Risotto bissfest und sämig, dass Rindsfilet wunschgemäss gebraten und garniert mit einer Valle Maggia Pfeffersauce sowie einer Rucolakruste. Ein absolut gelungener Abend, herzlichen Dank für dieses tolle Erlebnis, wir werden euch wieder besuchen!"

"We are a group of 17 people with the intention of eating a chinoise for a friend's birthday. Very comfortable chinoise and excellent meat. Unfortunately the problems already start on the service. Professionally they have a lot to improve, both in terms of their approach towards the customer and the actual service. Very poor and also rude. Then at the time of payment they charged us 50Fr per person for chinoise, even though on the card the price was 45Fr per person (all you want). Out of 17 people, 2 eat à la carte and they pay their own, of the remaining 15, 1 person paid his share since he did not consume alcohol and clearly the remaining 13 took care of the birthday party's costs. 1270.20 francs of account to be divided among 13 people. So if math is not an option, the portion to be paid per person is 98Fr. Even though we still paid 100Fr per people. And once again they demonstrate that they don't know how to do their job. In any case we paid 1300Fr and they still have the nerve to tell us that we didn't pay the bill in full. 5Fr. x 13 people 65Fr (extra typed) What to say? We will definitely never return! And with all due respect we now understand the bad publicity given by other people who did not recommend your restaurant to us."

"we had a great meal with risotto, polenta and gnocchi. the menu has a separate page for the vegan options and all, but marked a clearly as gluten-free. the personal was very friendly and flexible my daughter wanted the vegan gnocchi with tomato sauce (which is an option for the non-vegan gnocchi) and she made happy that for her. updated by the previous review on 2021-10-23"

"We came at the BLU fewer times, nice, cosy, and modern environment. In the Sommer the outside terrace is really nice. The restaurant is quite big but the team is present and the service is ensured. Despite the restaurants has Customers all year long the sushi is not available every day, the rest of the menu is a traditional Italian, some dishes are well prepared and some less despite those recipes are not complex. Our pasta was soaked in a medium/low quality oil as an example. The sushi quality is better, especially the appetizers."

"Meine Eltern und ich waren am Sonntag essen in diesem Restaurant. Der Service erkannte meine Eltern als regelmässige Gäste und wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen. Wir hatten Muscheln, Krustentiere, Fisch und Kalbfleisch. Alles frisch und keine Tiefkühlprodukte. Dazu Wein und Mineralwasser. Ich hatte einen sehr guten Eindruck. Insbesondere, da das Restaurant auch die Vorschriften des BAG aufgrund Corona umsetzt. Gerne komme ich auch wieder. Toll, dass es noch solche Gastronomen gibt und die Einheimischen gerne dort essen gehen."

"Das Restaurant hatte sehr nette Kellner, hatte mir Spaghetti Carbonara bestellt die waren mir aber zu salzig aber sonst sehr gut. Was ich aber gar nicht gut fand, war die Wartezeit für das Essen. Wir mussten 20-30 Minuten aufs Essen warten, obwohl es gar nicht so voll war! Aber im grossen und ganzen sehr angenehmes Restaurant."

"haben uns gefreut, ein indisches vegetarisches Restaurant und haben leider noch Plätze bekommen.Wir Eltern wählten das Menü für 40. , die Kinder wählten Dhal für je 6.50 und Reis für (auch ca. 6.50 plus Chiapatis (für je 2. .Andere Gäste hatten eine sympatische Kellnerin, welche die Gäste informierte, dass sie dann noch mehr bekommen könnten, wir wurden vom Chef bedient , uns wurde das nicht gesagt und wir wurden auch erst wieder beachtet, als wir alles zusammen stellten. Das Dhal war extrem wässerig, das restliche Menü fade und lauwarm.Wir haben noch nie schlechter indisch gegessen. Der Chef vergass die Hälfte vom Dessert.Wir gingen dann sehr schnell und hoffen, dass die sympatische Kellnerin bald einen anderen Job findet.Ein indisches Restaurant wäre eine echte Marktlücke in Locarno."

"we were for the first time in this restaurant due to a recommendation from well-known. we were received by stressed service personnel who gave us the feeling of "don't disturb" . the great ambiente and the menu then brought us back to other thoughts. the food was excellent, the wine card offered us a great selection. actually 5 points. unfortunately, as can be seen from other reviews, the service falls from the frame. We always had to think about ourselves and the service forces made all the impression that the guests are annoying. really very bad, because that's part of it."

"I say first that my Polpo Croccante was very good and my parents’ Scialatielli con Code di Gambero were also good. However, we will never return to this restaurant on our future trips to Locarno. We came with our family from 7 and asked for a table. We had no reservations. The waiter gave us an apology about how it would rain soon and that he could not give us a covered table. We said it's okay because the chances of rain were pretty low. We sat at two small tables that were barely big enough. We asked if it would be possible to have an additional table, and they said that it was not as we had not made a reservation and all the other tables were reserved as the 1st. August (a great holiday in Switzerland). We accepted without protesting, although some tables had no reserved sign and went on to order drinks. We ordered two Hugo cocktails, four coke and one Gin Mule. The Hugos hardly had Prosecco in it, my Gin Mule had no ginger taste and the coke were made of a pre-opened bottle and had all lost their bubbles and were flat like my Gin Mule. We thought we would brush it off and hope that food would be better and just order some wine and water for the meal. As already mentioned, most of the foods were actually good, except for the extremely salted nuggets my niece was ordered and the raw unseasoned chicken got my other niece. She ordered the chicken breast on the black rock grill, but I think they would have grilled it before / fed a minimum as it was a while for her to cook it all on the table. They also brought her a strange spicy sauce that absolutely not the bbq sauce she ordered. A few minutes after we got our food, the lady I think was asked if everything was good. I told her it wasn't and told her everything I just wrote. Instead of knowing everything I said about food and drinks, they and the other employees who served us since our arrival have decided to focus on the table part and make us responsible for not having a reservation if really that was the least of our problem. They accused us and I kept asking them to let it go and let us eat in peace, because I didn't want to make a scene, didn't expect any free things, only they wanted to hear our complaints, but they accused us until I finally almost cried that we wanted to eat and go and leave us alone. We finished our meals, paid and went as soon as possible. They were happy to take our money without even apologising, although they do not even contain us the ice cream contained in the two children's menu we have. It was really the last straw. There are many other good places to eat in Locarno, but this place is definitely NOT one of them. They do not care that their customers are satisfied."
