Grotto la Risata in Losone

… Incredibly beautiful place, surrounded by two small rivers. Traditional Ticino cuisine and the best risotto (with red wine) that I have ever tasted. But everything else I tried from my friends was also extremely tasty. The whole thing was offered and served by the extremely lovely and charming operator. An unforgettable dinner that we will definitely repeat. Thank you 👏👏👏

Very nice grotto. We visited shortly before the winter closure and we weren't disappointed. Although most of the menu was sold out, they had plenty of delicious venison, with generous amounts of fungi porcini, and traditional polenta taragna. Very friendly multilingual service. I will visit again next time I'm in the region, hopefully by day and without train, because the location seems amazing too.

Delicious gnocchi al ragu and burro e salvia, sensational! Polenta and wild boar fillet with porcini mushrooms were amazing. Very nice and child-friendly service and nice chef. Cozy atmosphere. Simple and great!

Very nicely located grotto. Great service and delicious food.

Wonderful ambience with a rushing stream and very good porcini mushroom dishes in autumn.

Romantic, dreamy grotto The sound of the bd streams contributes positively to the atmosphere. The porcini mushroom tagliatelle were sensationally good!! The chef was very personable and friendly!

Recommended, excellent staff, top quality food

Cozy place, great food, rarely eaten such good meat, funny and friendly staff. Price performance top!

Totally overrated in our opinion. Food was okay, the location by the rushing stream was good. But the busy gentlemen made a very unkempt impression. The price for 5 thin slices of tomatoes (so-called tomato salad) was not reasonable.

We reserved shortly before arriving for a family lunch. Warm welcome, kind and friendly. In Ticino you can't find a welcome like this everywhere! Excellent food and the prices are also very fair. We will definitely be back! Thank you :)

Absolutely great, we felt very comfortable and very welcome. Just come by and enjoy.

Now that's a grotto! The simplicity, the exposed grill, the courtesy and friendliness of Massimo and a detail that makes the difference: the river that passes under the terrace, leaving a freshness and a truly "local" scent in the air. We enjoyed carpione fish and luganighetta with polenta and then we sweetened up with bitter chocolate sorbet and apple pie with whipped cream. We will definitely return with more friends

I'm there half an hour early: Sit down, would you like something to drink? Later, a small appetizer on the house: for waiting. The grilled steak: great. I only have a few days here, but I'll definitely come back.

Beautiful grotto, very great ambience and great food. We'd love to come back

A wonderful grotto with incredibly nice people and real soul food.

We went for dinner, very nice location, surrounded by nature, and very kind and professional staff. Abundant and good quality food. The origin of the food is almost all local, but there is also meat from other places (e.g. bison). Homemade but very good desserts.

We were welcomed and served in a fantastic way, a nice welcoming place, a truly delicious lunch... I can particularly recommend the risotto at Sandra's! Top

The bull fillet with risotto at Sandra's is excellent

A very sweet place. The team is really funny and friendly and convinced us to use the bison fillet with the risotto. As a meat connoisseur, I have to admit that I have never had a better piece of meat served on my preheated plate...it melted in your mouth. Since three out of four had the same thing, I can speak for them too. The risotto with Taleggio was a dream and the desserts and wine were in no way inferior. Sorry again for sitting until late at night, unfortunately that was no different given the wonderful atmosphere ;)… we will be back!

Grotto la Risata was nowhere on our recommendation list. That's why we spontaneously visited this lunchtime. We couldn't hide a broad, satisfied smile as we crossed the romantic Holzbrüggli, down through the romantic, rushing stream and the typical grotto furnishings of granite furniture. All of this is covered with vines and some parasols. The cooling breeze from the stream and trees, simply wonderful. Tamara, the boss, always served us with her hearty laugh. The boss worked in his small grotto kitchen with so much commitment and love. He implemented my special request immediately. Brasato Polenta and Ossobuco Risotto HAMMER, TOP! Have ordered many times, nowhere as good as today's lunch at la Risata! THIS grotto is on our recommendation list from today. And soon also with our friends, acquaintances and family. We will make reservations every time from now on. Because there should always be a place available for us. We will be your guests again soon. Definitely on September 6th, 2023, this date is already entered in our calendar. Many thanks and again many happy guests and many guests who would appreciate the commitment and food. Carmen and Rene

Wonderful food Very friendly service Cohesive atmosphere

Super fine food great service Super Grotto highly recommended

Unfortunately closed for a week. Please update opening times!

wooowwww, wonderful ambience and brilliant food. The prices are more than fair and the service is great. Will come again.

Wonderful place and spectacular food

The perfect grotto, it couldn't be better, all around good. 10/1/22 repeat offender:) Simply a beautiful place with lovely staff!!

Super nice service, very good food. We had the brasato with polenta. Beautiful grotto. Would love to come back.

Beautiful grotto, very tasty food and very friendly service. Was worth the visit in every way.

Very nice atmosphere and very good food. I would come again and again, I can only recommend it!

I'm impressed, ambience, food, service, team, absolutely recommended. We will come back 😊 Tanja and her team are doing great 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

There is also a grotto between the trees where you can hear the sound of a stream.

Beautiful grotto next to a stream under trees and vines. Typical Ticino specialties. Service and food is simply top.

Must see and eat!!! If you are in Ticino, you absolutely have to go to this grotto. The entrance is already an eye-catcher. The grotto is beautiful and you eat more than well there. There is an extensive and varied menu. A reservation is highly recommended. Otherwise you may have to postpone your visit. We will go there again. We really enjoyed it and enjoyed it. Update from 7/17/22: We did it again and, as expected, it was super tasty. Always worth a visit. We'll be back next year too. This visit also gets 5 stars*

Great service, the food was absolutely brilliant, delicious, once again, thank you

Very good food, friendly staff. Cool location.

Natural, cozy restaurant - Tania has a very warm manner and enjoys her guests and service, you immediately feel welcome. The meal was excellent. Local food and grill, great wine in great company. What else could you wish for. We'd love to come back.

Very cozy atmosphere and the food was top!!! Come again!!! 👍🏻

Very friendly and nice, authentic menu for a grotto, excellent price/quality. Satisfied grandmother, son and grandson ☺️We will be back, thank you!👍🏼

I recommend this very simple food that goes well with nature, but is delicate and full of love.

Very good restaurant. Cozy grotto. With extremely good, homemade dishes.

Nice grotto Food was simple but good. Ticino plate very good.

Very nice grotto... and the Filetta di Cavallo is a dream...

I ate tripe even though it was a bit acidic but then I was sick for 36 hours

We've been to a lot of grottos and it may be that the grilled food here is great, but we didn't like the typical Ticino food (brasato con risotto/polenta) at all (we'd rather not talk about it by sight). Of course tastes are different, but when almost the whole plate goes back... The best thing was the extremely friendly service - the chef, on the other hand, never showed himself 😔

The food is always good, every dish chosen is spot on The staff were polite and friendly The grotto is hidden behind a stream and there is a wonderful energy

Very good food and very friendly service

Idyllic grotto, very good food, attentive and friendly service.

Nice place real grotto, but expensive.

Cozy, beautifully located grotto. Down-to-earth menus, great food. Daa risotto is excellent! Friendly, personable staff.

Friendliness and quality first, well done 👏👏

Nice location, delicious food, nice service

Perfect. Risotto, salad, dessert all very good. Thank you

Excellent 😃⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very friendly and helpful staff Excellent choice on the menu I recommend calling ahead to reserve a table

Very nice grotto, the food was very, very good, buttery tender grilled meat and polenta just as I knew it from my Nonna. It's worth a visit.

Very, very good food, great friendly service, 100% recommended

Cozy grotto, food was good, service was also good and very friendly. I will continue to visit this grotto.

I recommend to everyone the mixed appetizer (with cold cuts and cheeses) accompanied by a glass of Vermentino. While the next dish is the grotto grill (with polenta instead of baked potatoes, including a piece of kangaroo meat and lamb kebabs) or the veal ossobuco (recommended by the staff). Perfect portions, fair prices, and delicious dishes! Very beautiful location in the middle of nature with stream and forest. You guys are just amazing! I can't wait to visit you again! A big hug

Located in the forest, food simple but very good.

Very nice, excellent cuisine....well done...

Excellent cuisine and excellent service... very welcoming 🥰

Great location and beautiful location, the food is great too! Worth a visit if you are in the region.

Simply great delicious food, lovely surroundings.

Unique place. Relaxing. Hospitality and welcome. You eat like God. Above all, the meats know no rivals.

Delicious grilled meat. The horse fillet was grilled to perfection. Uncomplicated, friendly staff. Fair prices.

Ci sono stata per la prima volta quest'estate con il mio ragazzo, che ha voluto farmi una sorpresa: il grotto e' stupendo, immerso in mezzo alla natura e con il fiume in sottofondo, il proprietario e lo staff simpaticissimi e si mangia molto bene. Ci sono sia piatti nostrani, come la tagliata (buonissima) e la polenta, sia più particolari, come la grigliata mista con la carne di canguro (unico trauma, perché era la prima volta che la provavo, ma se ga pensi su mo, a me vegn da riit 😂😂😂). Consigliata la riservazione, perché il posto e' molto gettonato ed e' sempre pieno. Ci torneremo di sicuro! ❤

(Traducido por Google) Via Cantonale 16, 6616 Arcegno 05/08/2020 Google 4.8 No tengo idea de cómo se obtiene la calificación de 4.8 aquí. Durante nuestra visita a la gruta completamente llena (¿overbooking?), Casi nada salió bien. El amable servicio ya no dependía del número de invitados. Menos habría sido más aquí. En cuanto a comer, la comida a la parrilla sufrió una segunda muerte en la parrilla. Brassato y polenta hubieran sido mejores sin la salsa, ¡no era nada! Los ñoquis también fueron un fracaso total, demasiado blandos. Solo el risotto podía anotar. Conclusión: la comida totalmente sobrevalorada, el servicio muy agradable, la ubicación bonita gruta (con menos invitados). (Original) Via Cantonale 16, 6616 Arcegno 05.08.2020 Google 4.8 Keine Ahnung wie hier die Bewertung von 4.8 zustande kommt. Bei unserem Besuch im ausgebuchten (überbuchten?) Grotto hat so gut wie nichts gepasst. Die nette Bedienung war der Anzahl an Gästen nicht mehr gewachsen. Hier wäre weniger mehr gewesen. Zum Essen, Grillgut erlitt einen zweiten Tod auf dem Grill. Brassato und Polenta wären ohne Sauce besser gewesen, die war gar nichts! Gnocchi waren auch ein Totalausfall, viel zu weich. Einzig der Risotto konnte punkten. Fazit: das Essen Total überbewertet, Bedienung sehr nett, Lokalität schönes Grotto (bei weniger Gästen).

(Traducido por Google) Maravilloso lugar rodeado de naturaleza, excelente comida y personal cómodo. (Original) Posto meraviglioso immerso nella natura, cibo ottimo e personale confortevole.

(Traducido por Google) Gruta típica con una cálida bienvenida. Personal muy amable He tenido polenta con Taleggio y Puntine (costillas de cerdo a la parrilla) una verdadera delicia! Un lugar encantador en el bosque. El propietario se encarga de estos clientes. Recomendamos !!!! (Original) Grotto typique à l'accueil chaleureux. Personnels très sympathiques. Avons pris polenta avec Taleggio et Puntine (racks de porc grillés) un vrai délice !!! Un endroit charmant dans la foret. Le propriétaire au petit soin pour ces clients. Nous recommandons !!!!

(Traducido por Google) La mejor gruta a lo largo y ancho. Nosotros recomendamos. (Original) Das beste Grotto weit und breit. Sehr zu empfehlen.

(Traducido por Google) Como siempre, Max nunca decepciona. Siempre volvemos a la gruta y, como siempre, encontramos amabilidad y buena comida. La guinda del pastel es la ubicación, la gruta está rodeada de naturaleza y el rugido del arroyo que pasa a un lado ayuda a relajarse. Absolutamente para probar el risotto con Merlot della Sandra, seguramente también debemos recordar mantener un pequeño espacio para el postre, ¡el tiramisú es sin duda la guinda del pastel! (Cuando es temporada, las albóndigas de ajo silvestre también merecen un sabor). (Original) Come al solito Max non delude mai! Torniamo sempre al grotto e come sempre troviamo cordialità e cibo buono! La ciliegina sulla torta è la location, il grotto è immerso nella natura e lo scroscio del ruscello che passa a lato aiuta rilassarsi! Assolutamente da provare il risotto al Merlot della Sandra, sicuramente bisogna anche ricordarsi di mantenere un piccolo spazio per il dessert, il tiramisù è sicuramente la ciliegina sulla torta! (Quando è stagione anche gli gnocchi all'aglio orsino meritano un assaggio).

(Traducido por Google) Qué paraíso idílico lejos del ajetreo y el bullicio. Lo que está disponible en la parrilla abierta es único. El servicio es cortés y muy amable. Buena comida a precios justos.
