Grotto Efra : Strada de Redòrta 46, 6637 Sonogno

A cozy mountain restaurant in Ticino with breathtaking views and delicious local food. The atmosphere is peaceful and authentic, with friendly staff and traditional Ticinese dishes like polenta and braised beef. Perfect for a relaxing lunch or dinner after exploring the Alps. A true hidden gem in the Swiss mountains!

We went there several times now because we love the concept of zero kilometers products and they boycott products who harm the environment , first time we did not make any reservations so we have to wait for about 10 min, and stay out side with waterfalls view, but then we made reservations the next time and we got the inside also amazing rustic architecture & interior design with an amazing view toward the mountains. Luca is an awesome waiter. The chef cook an excellent meal ( ask for menu of the day out side of the menu) . The nostrano red wine ( from Ticino ) was excellent! Homemade dessert. If you want warm food they serve only in lunch time 12.00-14.00 and sometimes dinner between 18.00-20.00. Make sure you call to know their working hours. We love everything there. And the walk to the waterfall and back . Huge kids park for our children nearby where they can play bobosco ( the locally made wooden game with wooden ball ) . Our kids loves it. You must try once if you are in Valley Verzasca.

OMG, This place is a MUST visit, if you are in this area. Service is extremely friendly, helpful and speak English. Inside is beautiful and outside you have this amazing views and nature sounds. Brazato, Palenta, local wines in small local cups. Everything was great. I’m sure I will come again with my friends.
