Osteria Bisnona : Via Cantonale 42, 6594 Contone

With weekly specials and a fresh local seasonal menu that will blow your mind with the creativity, uniqueness & commitment to using all ingredients to their full potential, Osteria Bisnona will have you bursting with excitement for whatever is being brought to your table the moment you sit down. Wine from the winery where the restaurant is located will delight the tastebuds from grapes you see growing nearby. Service staff is impressive with their knowledge of the dishes and general hospitality, and overall being lovely humans. Send your best wishes to Chef, she’s an extraordinary human with a passion for food and eating local and eating well, that you just can’t find anywhere. The kitchen works so hard to create everything to delicious perfection, and I only wish I lived closer to be able to experience meals here more often!!! I recommend this establishment to anybody that wants to explore local food at the highest degree of excellence!!

The best meal I have had in a long time! My husband & I were celebrating our long over due 10 year wedding anniversary, so it was very special for us! We tried nearly every dish on the menu, and I can honestly say that each and every dish was a taste sensation! Even when you thought some element might be strange, like the 'Mustard Ice Cream' on the Carpaccio starter, it was actually a revelation, and something I would eat again and again. The strawberry & cucumber gazpacho was the perfect palate cleanser, & I am still dreaming of the Romesco sauce & perfectly cooked eggplant on my Beef Onglet main course. To top it off, we were blessed with wonderfully warm & knowledgeable service out on the terrace. We enjoyed an incredible bottle of Aligote from Burgundy, followed by the most delicious Muscat to accompany our desserts. Thank you! We can't wait to come back again. ❤️

Our evening at Osteria Bisnona stood out amongst many meals we had during our 2024 travels in Switzerland. The relaxing but refined ambience; the focus on local and seasonal foods, delightfully prepared and presented; and the quality of both the food and the service, made for an evening to remember. We could see and taste the care and thought that went into each dish - for us: the Bisnona salad, onglet of beef with courgette, tagliatelle with venison, and a delicious elderflower-based dessert. Local beer and wine recommendations were also on point. Well worth the drive away from city centre or lake front!
