Since it was late and rainy and we were tired we decided to go directly there and not check other places. Well we were really surprised. The meal was superb! Even the beer (bottled local amber ale) was great! The green risotto was as close to perfection as possible with tastes of the see and the spring. The salmon trout was good but not exceptional, and the pana cota we had for desert was divine. The pineapple granita tasted like clouds would taste had the clouds been made of pineapple. It was not a cheap meal (relative to the prices in Italy from which we arrived) but the taste was fabulous, the staff was very friendly and the head chef came to talk with us. I really recommend this place for those who want great meal in Locarno. We visited in a dark and rainy night, but we believe that the view during light time should make the experience even better!

The wine selection is good also.Great view to the lake!I've ordered the artichoke with eggplant (it was written in the menu like this) But it also had onions and I couldn't eat it. I appreciate that they did not charge it.I also had veal carpaccio with tuna sauce and octopus, were very tasty.Mumm Champagne and a lovely Primitivo, both by the glass, made a great pair.

The lunch menu is rather limited to club sandwich, 2 simple pasta dishes (pomodoro and Bolognese), a salad with two optional ingredients (Piri Piri chicken or prawns), beef tartare and a couple of other rather insignificant dishes. There was nothing for a big hunger. We went for salads with chicken and they were very tasty. The service was very nice and the terrase beautiful. Very relaxing atmosphere. Also the interior looked superb. Overall very good experience.

Too bad.
