Not impressed by how they served it out of a bowl from table to table and the girl following with a bag of cheese . The bag looked like it came from the department store.

Great food with a beautiful view!…read more Ascona is absolutely beautiful and this restaurant sits on one of the prettiest streets I've seen that overlooks the entire lake and mountains and it's a beautiful sight to see. During the day you can sit outside in the mornings or afternoons and share a cup of coffee or nice glass of wine and just enjoy the sun shining over the lake and the peace and tranquility and beauty of Switzerland from this great restaurant. At night the restaurant lights are dimmed low and the dinner is enjoyed by glow of candlelight. It makes for a wonderfully romantic evening. The wine list is pretty extensive and they also have a nice selection of Ticinese wines that you cannot find outside of Switzerland. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and our server was happy to go over the wine list with us and made some excellent recommendations for local wines to try. They have a pretty good extensive menu for food as well, they have everything from pizza to salads to pasta and grilled shrimp and everything is pretty affordable especially for being in Switzerland. One of the best dishes I had was the mushroom risotto it was very very good and full of flavor. It was also nice that you could order the smaller or larger portion size which is always a great option for groups who like to share and try several plates. I highly recommend trying some of their deserts they are all very good as well. They had some deserts on the menu that I've never had anywhere else before and some I've never even heard of so we decided to try them since our server recommended them so highly and said they were some of the restaurants specialties and they were all very unique and very very good. Overall it's a great place, if you're in the area and looking for a nice place to enjoy the view and get some great food I highly recommend checking this place out morning or night you will not be disappointed!

/Short version:/…read more -Food: ---: Appetizers: No Rating - we didn't have any ---: Main Course: ----------: Cold dish: 3/5 Stars - Average but enjoyable ----------: Warm dish: 4/5 Stars - Delicious Fish! ---: Desert: 5/5 - Both Tiramisu and Pana Cota were on point -Service: 4/5 Stars -: Fast and Friendly -Amount of people: Half full around 19:30, still room for a couple of guests at 20:30 -Bathroom: 3/5 Stars -: Rustic but Clean and Functional _____________________________________________ /Long version:/ First impressions are positive. Once we arrived we got greeted right away, there weren't too many people on a Sunday at around 19:30. Even now at 20:15 when we've finished eating the restaurant isn't packed but rather a little more than half full with people still trickeling in. Seating is comortable and the atmosphere is relaxed and casual. Once we had sat down we were served shortly. Our drinks got to the table shortly after ordering, and our food order was taken a reasonable amount of time after. The personel was friendly and spoke italian to us (although admittedly none of us speak it) but communication worked nonetheless. i also hear some hints of french, german and english from other servers though. Then it was another small wait until I was served my Perisco Fish (pictures are posted too, price 32Chf) and my dining partners received their Melon and Parma Ham and Tomato Mozarella Salad. Rice, Fish and Vegetables were all well done, although in my opinion they could have cut down on the nuts that were on the Fish by a bit. The Melon and Parma Ham were well average but nothing outstanding. The Tomato Mozarella Salad on the other hand contained not quite ripe tomatoes but was ok otherwise. Up until now I'd have given the restaurant a 3/5 in total, but due to the awesome Tiramisu and Pana Cota I've bumped that up to a 4/5. Overall it was a very enjoyable dining experience! Btw.: Bathroom was clean but very rustic and old.

This was such a great way to end our day trip to the "Tessin." the place is pretty cool in itself…read more The merlot risotto served in a merlot bottle half to die for. The entrecote was amazing as well. The service was great, the servers were friendly, accomodating and all was pretty quick.
