Grotto Baldoria : Via Sant'Omobono 9, 6612 Ascona

I was lucky to find this restaurant. It was like discovering a hidden gem oasis in Switzerland. It was a happy time on this trip. By the way, I recommend making a reservation because the tables are full. Everything from the starter to the main dish and dessert was a perfect harmony of flavors. The food, the atmosphere, the consideration of the staff, everything was perfect for the dinner. I brought my dog with me, and the dog treats that the general manager gave me were touching🐶🫶

Simple delishious food, simple formula.. 3 starters, 2 dishes, 20 fr. Always same menu .. for me more food than i could eat, but I ate it all. Very nice place! Recommended.

The moment we sat down we were served some local salami and were told that there’s only 1 menu, 7 courses and cost 22 Fr per person (as of 05.2025). It sounds too good to be true! The food was absolutely delicious, simple home cooked food, nothing fancy, but well executed and super friendly people! Everything was served communal style, sometimes you got to share table with other people. For 6 of us, on top of food, we ordered 3 bottles of house red wine (there’s only one option and it’s good), 4 bottles of water, 4 espresso, and we paid 42Fr per pax. All of us left happy, it‘s a great place!
