Osteria Enoteca Cuntitt

Went there spontaneously on Saturday evening. Restaurant was close to empty but when asking for a table we got a dismissive response that restaurant was fully booked, which made no sense.

The experience already starts upon entry into the courtyard hosting the Osteria. The old farmstead is beautifully restored and is in complete harmony with the modern imagery of the restaurant (super cool logo). The welcome couldn’t be warmer, and a glass of sparkling wine is quickly served. Best to go with the chef’s surprise menu, a great offering of many local ingredients presented in imaginative, fun ways. The wine list is as extensive as it should be and if you are a fan of Merlot, the local options will certainly satisfy you. If not, then one can never go wrong with a Tuscan highlight. The front of the house also deserves a lot of praise for making the meals a truly memorable experience. And I am sure that head chef Federico Palladino will keep on surprising his guests with wonderful dishes and unforgettable Ticinese evenings.

Lovely place, fabulous cuisine, slightly noisy environment, on the other hand, friendly and professional staff, we will be back. Thanks to all the staff.

Excellent renovation from farm to renowned restaurant. Excellent tasting menu

Excellent food, well set up and furnished place, top choice of wines. Particular mention goes to the first maitre Alessandro, highly trained and very professional.
