“ Great restaurant with a nice view on the cooks! We had two dinners in the Fontena restaurant, one of them was a barbecue. The menu is limited unfortunately; the sirloin is not available for a single serve. However I highly recommend the veal which is copious. Wine list is okay as they have nice Italian wine. My difficult teen son had some special dish for him which was not on the menu. ”

“ Leveä of the food, service and price is everything you would expect from Belvedere hotel. As a hiker on your way to Madonna del Sasso it would be great when there was a cafe less expensive for refreshments. ”
“ Amazing restaurant! The food was unlike anything I've ever had before. Our waiter, Nusret, was really great. He explained the menu to us and was very attentive. The hotel that the restaurant is in has a beautiful courtyard, so sitting outside while you eat is quite nice! ”
“ This is probably the best restaurant in Locarno. Excellent fine dining experience, from the impeccable service to the wonderfully delicious and thoughtful dishes. We had the gnocchi, fillet and lamb, all superb dishes. The wine list is impressive and the house wines are good, both red and white. The decor of the restaurant is magnificent, with paintings on every corner, so elegant. It was such an amazing experience, and for fine dining, not at a steep price as well. Definitely recommend, I’d come back here the next time I’m in Locarno. ”
