Al Pontile - Menu

Good, high-quality cuisine... The wine list is aimed at rather expensive wines...

Great !!!! Excellent service! Very friendly, smiling staff! Very refined and excellent gastronomy!! Will come back and recommend!

Excellent service! A delicious meal and a good atmosphere. I highly recommend stopping by Ascona to eat alPontile. Thank you for this beautiful evening!

Nachtessen und Jazz geniessen mit sehr freundlicher Bedienung, genau vis a vis einer Jazz Bühne. Ideal zum Musik und Essen geniessen. Wir dürfen immer oben auf dem Balkon sitzen. Tolle Uebersicht über die Szene. Wunderbar freundliche Bedienung

Spitzenküche und Spitzenprodukte. Freundliches und zuvorkommender Personal. Super Ambiente. Als quasi Stammgast geniesse ich bei jeden Besuch das exzellente Essen, die tolle Ambiance und die Gastfreundlichkeit. Einfach super...Roberto C., Ascona

Unfortunately we had to wait a long time for the food on August 1st, 2022. When it came after 3 hours, it was cold. More food was forgotten and we left after 10:30 pm and were annoyed. Service staff was very helpful and totally overwhelmed (not enough staff)

Wir wohnen nicht ständig hier, sind aber regelmäßig in Ascona. Gerne probieren wir auch andere Restaurants an. Wir kehren aber oft reumütig zum Pontile zurück. Fabio, der auch lächeln kann, wenn nicht gerade das Jazz Festival vor seiner Tür spielt, erfüllt dem Gast alle Wünsche. Auch die übrige Truppe, an der Spitze Urgestein Elli, ist immer sehr freundlich.Die Gerichte entstammen der gehobenen Tessiner Küche, und das immer ohne Enttäuschungen. Das Risotto mit Gamberoni und die in Butter gebratenen Egli-Filets sind besonders zu empfehlen.

After that there was a lady taking care of my table, the service got better, but the food... what a disappointment again, I ordered fish selection with truffle, the fish was good selection but completely tasteless, I had to add salt and peppe...

Unfortunately, the restaurant doesn 't even deserve this one star. From start to finish, zero star rating. Already when making the reservation on the phone, very unfriendly and brisk. But we still wanted to try. We made a reservation outside, but it started to rain so we had to sit inside. Because we made a special reservation, we were given a table in the farthest corner where it was so humid and warm, which also had lots of small dead fruit flies on it. We thought we would give it a try there too. For the starter we were given a lump of tartare, not nice to look at and tasteless. One main course came wrong at first, then only warmed up orecchiette with fresh truffle (nothing about it was f...
