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

"Great food! Very attentive staff. Childfriendly. Great food quality. Best pizza (4 formaggi) i had in my stay. Nobody would think that a restaurant near the airport is so great. We had dinner there and are already thinking about going for lunch tomorrow before heading back home, it was that good."

"we stayed here at the end of May, we arrive at 22.10, the kitchen is already closed, then we turn on the pizzas. the quality is very good, the filling abundant, the cooking (to my goto) excellent. I like pizza maker, a little less the waitress. only flaw, at the end of the pizza they took away the dishes and for almost an hour (despite the practically empty room) they no longer asked us for desserts or coffee, except when, tired for the hour we decided to get up and enter to look for who to ask for the account. I'd come back for pizza and taste the kitchen, maybe not for the service."

"Ein wirklich typisches italienisches Restaurant und das in Locarno! Eine bessere Pizza zu finden wird schwerfallen. Bemerkenswert ist zudem, dass die meisten Serviceangestellten mehrheitlich in Italienisch mit den Gästen sprechen und nur in Ausnahmefällen die deutsche Sprache nutzen. Wunderbar, denn ansonsten hätte man ja die Pizza auch daheim um die Ecke geniessen können. Selbstverständlich bietet die Speisekarte auch die gesamte Vielfalt italienischer Speisen an! Eine genügend grosse Getränkeauswahl vollendet das Angebot. Der Service ist freundlich und zuvorkommend! Parkplätze vor dem Haus, sofern nicht schon belegt."

"I am a 16 year old boy who wanted to get a mineral water (not alcohol or anything else just water). I felt bad when I had to pay 10.50chf for a 75cl bottle. I find it not logical that a beer costs less…. It makes me think that there is almost an incentive to consume alcohol. We might as well carry out prevention campaigns for young people"

"Almost non-existent service, they literally threw the placemats, cutlery and napkins on the table for us to set the table! The waiters were running around like crazy (only two for dinner service) we were welcomed by an unkind woman who almost made us feel like a burden more than customers! Mediocre food. Cold chips, overcooked pasta, small and very thin pizza. I do not recommend and will not return!"

"I had wanted to visit this restaurant for a while, so my expectations were high - and more than met on a quiet Saturday afternoon having lunch on the cozy terrace. Everything we (my husband and I) ate tasted fresh and delicious. Ours was not a special occasion, but if we weren't already married I'd certainly include Da Valentino on a shortlist of wedding party locations - excellent food, excellent service (and impressively multilingual - I overheard the same waiter speaking very fluently to three different parties in three different languages) and a suitably romantic setting with different size rooms for different needs. And if I needed to propose, this would also seem like a good setting... Another bonus point is the location: the restaurant is located only a few steps away from the main square, yet already amidst a quiet residential area, away from the exhaust gases and noise so prevalent when eating on the lakeside restaurants in Muralto.As for the prices, yes, they are elevated, but for the extra quality it seems well worthwhile to pay a tad more than for an average restaurant meal in Switzerland. To put this in proportion, a fabulous light three course lunch for two was about the price of six pizzas in an average Italian restaurant in Switzerland. (Meat and fish main courses would have made this more expensive.) I'd much rather eat like this occasionally and simpler on other occasions than average all the time. The menu is brief but it would, for example, have been possible to find a vegetarian starter and main course had we wanted to eat vegetarian only. I will make sure to plan future trips at times when Da Valentino is open (it is closed on Sundays and Mondays)."

"Die schlechte Nachricht vorweg: Gérard Perriard kocht nur noch bis Ende Januar 2018 und geht dann bald 70 in die verdiente Pension. Die gute Nachricht: Die Nachfolge ist mit Sous Chef Remo Migliorini gut geregelt; er übernimmt ab 1. Februar 2018 das Team in einem Lokal, welches sich jeweils am Donnerstag und Freitagabend in ein kleines, intimes Wohnzimmer mit Kerzenlicht verwandelt vor allem jetzt, wenn die Abende kälter und länger werden. Dann lebt sich Perriard nochmals so aus, wie man das vom einst besten Koch im Tessin im legendären Centenario gewohnt war, wo sich der gebürtige Westschweizer mit zwei Sternen von Michelin schmücken durfte. Also, am 23. November 2017 gibt es eine hausgemachte Foie Gras, verfeinert mit einem Hauch Karotte und Birne ein wahr gewordener Traum, zumal auch die Brioche nicht zu übertreffen ist. Dann gibt es extrem zartes Lamm (aus Neuseeland), ein bisschen Gemüse, eine Prise Pesto und ein dezentes Topinambur Püree. Das Finale ist eine Portion Käse aus den umliegenden Tälern ein grossartiger Abschluss hinter ein leckeres Abendessen, für welches immer auch eine Variante für Fischliebhaber und Vegetarier verfügbar ist. Korrekte Weinkarte, kompetenter, vor allem weiblicher Service, der zum Teil auch schon im Centenario gearbeitet hatte."

"another good example of a Swiss gastronomy located in the lower end. without focusing on the horrendous prices (pizza prosciuto 25,.-) I can't stop shaking the head just amazingly. I stayed on the occasion of the moon and stars concert in locarno. in the restaurant I wanted to order a pizza prosciuto. I wanted to swirl and garlic. I am apologising for this high-fat wish. the answer of the genervten waiter (miguel) was clipp and clear. the pizza is as on the map. any additions or changes are not possible..I am convinced you have been better served with any other restaurant in locarno.Ruhe in peace Swiss gastronomy and customer friendliness"

"Very delicious take away with delivery service. The prices are surprisingly low considering the excellent quality of the food, the generous amounts and the fact that we are in Switzerland: let's hope it stays this way despite it's very successful start! The only little disappointment was the Greek salad: to many tomatoes and too little olives and feta, probably to save money..."

"A wonderful place full of history! From many suggestions of the hotel, we chose this restaurant for dinner and I strongly recommend you to do the same. I had a table with a superb ceramic top, subtle view of the lake, with a lot of green surroundings, perfect and cozy! The bread basket and the appetizer on the side made a good pair with a Franciacorta. Aperitif, calamari with pistachio cream with mint, olives and burrata was amazing! As a main course, I chose an antricot from Piemonte, along with a Nebbiolo. Very tasty, just the meat was medium+ although I asked medium-rare, next with potatoes and onions hay, was delicious!Quality food and time!"

"Im Rahmen unseres Polterweekends waren wir letzten Freitag Abend im Ristorante da Enzo und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Schon der Weg dort hin ist bezaubernd, inmitten der grünen Landschaft findet man erhöht das Restaurant. Der Empfang war sehr freundlich und der Platz in der Nische sowieso einmalig schön. Der Service war super, auch beim Amuse Gueule haben sie sich was einfallen lassen, da meine Freundin Laktose nicht verträgt. das Degustationsmenu war sensationell, vorallem das Tomatenrisotto war ausgezeichnet, ich hatte noch nie solch ein perfektes leckeres Risotto. Die Portionen sind genau abgestimmt, nicht zuviel und nicht zu wenig. Die Reise dort hin hat sich gelohnt und wir werden bestimmt wieder kommen. Vielen Dank dem ganzen Team für den unvergesslichen Abend."

"Last saturday 24th of Nov I ve been to Locarno for the weekend with my fiancee and we decided to visit La Barca for a late lunch. I must say amazing experience..a guy welcome us in a such professional and warm way. Great hospitality and the food was exellent. We start with Aperol Spritz and the waiter suggested a plate with ham and cheese to start with, omg was so nice to eat in front of the lake. As the main course we had two Frittura del Golfo and one Grilled Tuna with pistacho..superb. Exellent Service calm and relax atmosphere. If you are looking for a great time in a cool place for a Romantic lunch or Dinner...this is the place. Good Job Angel such a prof and lovely person he took care of us. Thank you so much.We will come back soon."
"we were four and unfortunately had all the terrible hunger, which is why we put ourselves in the next best restaurant. someone of us ordered a green salad to the appetizer. the salat had been eaten halfway, two of the four main courses came, one rindstatar (chf 38.- !!) and one spaghetti bolognese. the bark statue looked like eating. it was clapped on a dish. no brot, no wobble. it had little taste and was probably refined with ketchup. the spaghetti were boiled and tasted as already repeatedly warmed up. the two main courses were almost completely eaten, when the other two main courses were served. a pizza prosciutto e funghi, a pizza ruccola. on the pizza funghi were bush mushrooms. also otherwise the two dishes were maximally suitable to fill the magen. the food was the one catastrophe, the service the other. the waiters were all unfriendly and inattentive. one of them each stepped on my feet under the table when he came to us. there was neither an apology nor that the timing of the various passages was enormously unsatisfactory. this is just a fraction of the negative points in this restaurant, all would blow up the frame."

"I came for the first time to dinner with friends and I have to say it was a nice surprise. located in the old town of locarno, from outside it is not striking. once you enter, you will find a well-kept room. Kind and discreet the waitress. good food card, varies the wine card. Prices aren't too much. The quality of the dishes is excellent. for the wine we unfortunately had to send back a couple of bottles, however without any problem. we then changed wine and everything went to the best. Quiet the place, finally a place where you can talk without having to scream and without background music to impossible volumes. To be recommended."

"Wir waren dort am See baden und suchten ein Restaurant in der Nähe. Wir hatten und dann für dieses entschieden, weil es mittags sehr gut besucht war und auch charmant aussah! Die Bedienung war nett, aber auch etwas überfordert, da sich die Tische immer mehr füllten und nur eine Person im Service war anfangs. Wir bekamen so kleine Brotstückchen mit Käse und Schinken und hatten beim einen das Gefühl als wäre es bereits angeknabbert gewesen, daher liessen wir die Finger davon. Die Lasagne war ganz okay geschmacklich und der Steinpilzrisotto hatte eine tolle Farbe und war gut vom Geschmack her. Der Salat war auch okay, die Salatsauce lecker. Wir würden allerdings nicht mehr dorthin gehen."
