Ristorante Foca, Piazza Governo 5, 6500 Bellinzona

Welcoming atmosphere, friendly and knowledgeable staff. I was won over by the homemade pasta! The menu is very inviting, and all the dishes were excellent and carefully prepared. I'll definitely be back, I highly recommend it; you won't be disappointed!

new restaurant right in Piazza Governo, next to the Palazzo delle Orsoline, so very convenient parking. The menu is really interesting, respects seasonality, is varied and I admit that we have already had lunch and dinner there 4 times with the family because compared to the other proposals 'in the area' it is more refined while still remaining on an interesting budget. I also had the opportunity to have lunch at midday during the week and it certainly has a good edge compared to what you can find around and I noticed that it is changed every day. Speaking of the location, it is well-kept and very warm and welcoming, especially the wine cellar and the staff is friendly and extremely helpful . What can I say, the menu is interesting, I personally tried a bit of everything, I'm still missing something and I will definitely come back to try everything! Honestly, for now what has struck me the most is the octopus ahhh the pasta is homemade! both the mixed fried food but also the osso buco with risotto is top ! what can I say...to try! including desserts! and the wines!!!

Excellent experience during a business lunch. The atmosphere was elegant, the staff friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, well-presented, and fresh. The prices were absolutely fair. I'll be back soon!
