Codeborgo - Bellinzona

Ok coffee. Bad chocolate. They have only this caotina thing. Centrally located, no need to be good to survive. Still not a tourist trap. read more Ok coffee. Bad chocolate. They have only this caotina thing. Centrally located, no need to be good to survive. Still not a tourist trap.

The server passed our table of two several times but I had to actively ask her to be able to order after about half an hour of waiting, even though she wasn't very busy. After that it took again very long before we got our food. We figured she might have forgotten to place it with the kitchen, as several guests ordering later with other staff got their meals before us. It needed another intervention from us to finally get our food (which was very good) and finally another one to be able to pay the bill. The server was nice and apologetic, but definitely not up to her job. We should really have left after the initial wait, but we still hoped for improvement...

Unfortunately, it was not so good here as the essential mint leaves were missing, then it was too sweet because there was too much dull blossom syrup and not enough prosecco. because of a change of waiter we had to pay for the drinks immediately. the new waiter came to our table shortly after taking orders while he grabbed my hugo that I was not finished. my wife went for spaghetti bolognese while I chose one of my favourite dishes: spaghetti all 'arrabiata, the 'angry spaghetti ', a speciality from the region lazio. the pasta came in a heated teller and the portions were a bit small, really more meant than starter, in contrast to the pizzas we saw served other guests. both dishes were very well done, the spaghetti al dente and my arrabiata one of the hottest I ever tasted, which was good with me, but perhaps not for all who like. with both plates came also small packings made of grated grana Padano cheese, which could only be opened with a sharp knife. my wife asked for a pfeffer mill that didn't work even though she was full. the waiter didn't make it, so he brought us a new one. what was ridiculously small was the serviette. with the dinner my wife had an aqua gasata while I tried a glass red merlot as we hiked this day on the nearby 'via delle vigne' by merlot del ticino weinberge. Generally, I would recommend the caffe bar codeborgo only for a coffee to enjoy the atmosphere on the beautiful piazza collegiata.
