Al Grottino - Reservar una mesa

Called the restaurant and asked for a table for one. Hosts had no problem accommodating me and I even ended up with a wonderful seat on the terrace with a view of the lake.

I found my waitress incredibly helpful she worked with me and was friendly and cheerful. The menu is fairly priced, especially for the portion sizes (huge! . You can also order half sized portions on some dishes....

We live in the area and have walked by this establishment many times on our way to local sites with out of town guests. Decided to finally give it a try. Lovely rustic interior with homey atmosphere. Staff are warm, friendly and care about your satisfaction. In the fall, they offer a venison menu hearty, stick to your ribs fare including deer, wild boar and chamois. These lean meats were tasty, juicy and served with plenty of sauce, sides of spaetzli and seasonal vegetables. The wine list was overly pricey, surprising for Ticino where we have decent locals. As far as grotto eateries are concerned, this is one of the best to date the reason why we rated it 'Very Good '.
