Madonna della Fontana - Losone

Traditional Grotto ticinese between Ascona and Losone with delicious meals. Nice and romantic atmosphere and not too touristic at all. Service and dinner was great quality, even the Limoncello was offered with a valuable bill at the end.

We had lunch there after a visit to Monte Verita and where pleasantly surprised by their food, given the simple look of the place. We had ravioli della nonna and polenta with cream and porcini sauce (instead of Gorgonzola) which was both absolutely amazing. Also, and astonishing for Ascona is the very reasonable price for what we had, including the wine.Definitely worth a trip off the beaten track from the usual Ascona places. Great for hot sunny days as the stone tables are under the shady tree.

It's a bit off the beaten path and worth the trip up the hill in the woods. Good local dishes, nice outdoor seating, fair prices and the food was also good. Would go again!

October is the game season so we went with friends and tried the Venison Saddle. It was perfect. Cooked to perfection, great home-made spätzle, pear, chestnuts, red cabbage etc. We were seated in the small room with the chimney and it was so cozy, staff is very friendly, good service. Very traditional restaurant, very good value for money.

Family went for lunch, beautiful setting, with great views. Made very welcome, our waitress spoke perfect English and looked after U.S. Very well. Would recommend the ravioli and lasagne both lovely, far better value for money than down by the lake.
