(the last village in a valley time forgot)
People drive up through the picturesque valley just to eat here. They specialize in Tessiner dishes and it's all homemade. Osso buca (corrected) with polenta (the specialty of the house) is perfect and my gnocchi (which I rarely enjoy) made me realize how good it can be when made correctly. It literally melted in my mouth; it was that creamy. The menu choice is limited but their homemade dishes are out of this world.
Great prices, friendly staff and a gorgeous view. If you want to impress your out of town guests while visiting nearby Mendrisio, then go, go, go. But don't forget to reserve first just to make sure they'll have a table waiting for you.
