For connoisseurs who want to escape the stress of everyday life – simply a restaurant to relax in.

Grotto Tradizionale

Welcome to our relaxation oasis

Discover our delicacies from the Ticino cuisine! Here you can enjoy delicious food and drinks in a relaxed atmosphere, in a wonderfully pleasant location with a beautiful mountain view. We cook traditionally and mainly over a wood fire.

Enjoy delicious polenta variations, fresh, seasonal salads and rustic Ticino platters from the grill. We also offer a selection of cold platters with delicious meat, cheese and vegetables – all from local producers. We usually prepare these specialties for you in our inviting outdoor show kitchen, which makes the experience even more authentic.

In our wine cellar you will find selected, full-bodied wines from the region that go perfectly with our Ticino specialties and aperitifs. Of course, you are also welcome to linger with us over a good glass of wine, a refreshing drink or a café.

Whether in the beautiful outdoor area, in the cozy indoor area or at the bar – we warmly welcome you!

    Menu

    Food: Here you will find our selection of seasonal and regional dishes and wines, you will find something for every taste, whether you are a meat eater, vegetarian or simply a connoisseur.

    Strength lies in tranquillity

    This is how we cook for you, because the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach and we like to take our time preparing and cooking our dishes. Accordingly, we love to spoil you with so-called slow food.

    "Ideal starting point or destination for a refreshment before or after a nice walk with the dog in nature."

    "After a slightly adventurous journey, there are plenty of parking spaces available on site. On site, you will be well looked after by the friendly hosts."

    "Picturesque view in a wonderful location with shady trees and the rushing stream (Navegna)."
