A true Ticino grotto: polenta still made like it used to be, exceptional meat, an incredible wine list and a warm and welcoming environment also thanks to the owners. Beautiful in both summer and winter.

I have been going to this typical restaurant for lunch or dinner for 30 years, with the same exquisite menu as always!! The family that has run it for years is very kind and welcoming.
