Antica Osteria Il Malatesta

Wundervoller Ort für den perfekten Abend in Locarno: tolles Ambiente fantastisches Essen

We had a great evening with fresh and tasty food. Very friendly and attentive waiters. Very nice terrace and super cosy indoors with a fireplace and lots of original features. We definitely come back. Many thanks

Very cozy atmosphere, we love the food and the fantastic service from the owners. There is also a great outdoor terrace in summer. A real insider tip. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Voir le carte

Sehr schmackhafte Küche, schön präsentiert. Die Karte ist klein, aber interessant. Freundliche, aufmerksame Bedienung. Liegt etwas versteckt, abseits der Touristenfallen, ca. fünf Minuten vom Bahnhof. Absolut empfehlenswert.

It was a great surprise to discover this authentic place. I'm Italian and this was a great place to eat a Italian food in Switzerland. I gave 5 stars also because of the impeccable service. Truly recommend it if you are in Locarno!

Restaurant with traditional dishes revisited and with a very neat presentation. The chef is young and talented, his cuisine deserves to be known! There is a small terrace and the staff is very attentive. Highly recommendable! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Voir le carte

A place to rediscover, a well-presented menu with local products and delicious combinations. To go back Vegetarian options: There are and they are not the stopgap to meat and fish. Parking: On the lakefront or in the street by the railway, finding parking is not difficult, walking at most 5' shouldn't be a problem. Service: Dine in

Overall rather average. Service was ok, but generally a lot of mistakes were made. Friendly, but that's about it. For the Price we paid, I could easily get much better in Zurich never mind going over to Italy...Food itself. Some was good, but Overall lacked seasoning in most cases, and also for me a major issue was being served an unrested Steak, ie within 2 minutes blood all over the plate. Meat itself was also average.In all honesty, for the things that went wrong, most Restaurants would have comped something. And for a bill of CHF 550 for 4 People, would expect more.

A wonderful place full of history! From many suggestions of the hotel, we chose this restaurant for dinner and I strongly recommend you to do the same. I had a table with a superb ceramic top, subtle view of the lake, with a lot of green surroundings, perfect and cozy! The bread basket and the appetizer on the side made a good pair with a Franciacorta. Aperitif, calamari with pistachio cream with mint, olives and burrata was amazing! As a main course, I chose an antricot from Piemonte, along with a Nebbiolo. Very tasty, just the meat was medium+ although I asked medium-rare, next with potatoes and onions hay, was delicious!Quality food and time! Voir le carte
