Osteria Mistral - Bellinzona

This restaurant was recommended to me by a friend whose opinion I completely trust. I was not disappointed. What an extraordinary experience of fresh flavors and novel takes on dishes of generous portions paired with excellent wines. Presentation was photo worthy. Dinner was so wonderful, I had to go back for lunch the next day. Chef Lucca and wife Tanya are the best hosts. If you are in Bellinzona, even for part of a day, make time for Osteria Mistral.

Really a good place to have a nice dinner in Bellinzona. They have a really nice menu and wine selection, including regional wines. Staff is really friendly and ready to help at all moment with a nice suggestion. For us, a must try each time we stop by in Bellinzona.

This place was selected by local friend Mr Renato on our trip to Bellinzona. Everything was well placed and the service and food here is excellent .. Cheers from India

Excellent food, very friendly staff. We had a great, quiet evening here and loved the food. The Léger menu was big enough for us and we were very pleasantly surprised by each course.

We are foodies on our honeymoon in Italy. The last leg of our journey we will meet up with restauranteurs from US to wine and dine Tuscany. Just so you know, we're seriously into food. We were staying on lake Maggiore and decided to explore Bellinzona, Switzerland for the day. Not thinking we would stumble into a most amazing dinner experience that tops all others! We were turned away from a somewhat stuffy seeming place, but they recommended Ost. Mistral just up the st. Which had registered high on-line as well. A very sweet woman graciously accepted a reservation. We ate outside in a little veranda and had choice of menus, 6 courses seemed excessive, but thankfully we chose 4 course which included a most incredible veg soup that I could live on, so delicious 4 courses of that, could have sufficed! The sweet woman who had greeted us is the owner with her magician Husband, the chef. It couldn't have been a more delicious and savor end evening. Plus, Ballinzona is a quaint little city to visit, make the drive!
