Al Grottino - Orselina

The family and myself went to eat dinner here a bit late, it was just after 21:30 and the kitchen was close to closing but they were so kind to let us order food and dessert which was very well presented, fresh and tasty! The atmosphere is nice and cosy. Definitely reccomend coming to eat here! We all were very happy with everything and the staff that served us were friendly!

Tripadvisor's advice proved more than right. A typical ticinese atmosphere with outstanding food. We were pampered with excellent food in the next door five star hotel restaurant of the albergo Orselina and wanted something more local. This was the right choice: I had a tasty sepia dish of highest standard as a starter, my companion chose a pasta dish with tomato vodka sauce, also outstanding. The main course was less extraordinary, a good portion of roastbeef with an excellent tartar sauce and a typical beef stew with port sauce and a remarkable polenta. The portions were so genereous that we could not eat a dessert, unfortunately, because the home-made caramel flan looked so tempting. A good Merlot from the region accompanied this sarisfying local meal. The lady who served us spoke fluent German and English and was ever so polite. The price was moderate. Good value for money. We will defintitely be back.

The pasta dishes were beautiful and yummy. The menu was a little confusing but the staff were super helpful!

This restaurant has delicious specialities and even the more standard dishes are super tasty. It's definitely worth the money. The host was very friendly and entertaining. Excellent wine, we will come back for sure.

Thank you for an amazing host! We felt very Welcome and enjoyed wonderful Food and wine...we will be back for sure!
