Grotto Mai Morire in Avegno Gordevio - Telefonnummer, Reservierungen, Bewertungen

Large grotto with history. Friendly and attentive staff with a large terrace with shady trees. Ticino specialties. Enough parking spaces in front of the house.

As always, it was excellent to eat a little fresh cheese and then the ribs and they were very good

Good food, friendly and professional staff. I'll come back

Excellent, friendly and professional staff

Lots of free and shaded parking. Fast, competent and friendly service. Excellent food and at reasonable prices. All in the shade of a forest. I recommend it and will return.

Beautiful shady grotto with a large terrace on the cycle path of the Maggia Valley

Friendly staff, good wines and LARGE terrace.

The food was ok, the service was friendly, but attention + hospitality are defined differently. In short: for a short, refreshing break = okay, for a pleasant evening with a gourmet feast in a great atmosphere, there are a few things missing Bianca & Herald Gutjahr, Lörrach / South-DE

We were guests there today and everything was perfect. Ambiance, service and of course coffee and ice cream. We'll be back 👍

We came with a big group of people and sat inside. The food is so hearty and down to earth. Nice Grotto in valley Maggiore.

The food, especially the Costinis, is very good. I find the 3 franc surcharge for the risotto worrying if you don't want patati with the Cosini but rather risotto.

We had dinner with seven people on Wednesday. Luckily we reserved early, otherwise we probably wouldn't have gotten a seat. Reservations are easily possible online. The waitress was very friendly and quick. The food was wonderful. We recommend the spare ribs fresh from the grill (only CHF 23 including a side dish). The various salads were all very fresh and tasty. We also enjoyed the lasagna and penne Bolognese. There are still many Ticino specialties such as risotto or polenta. The atmosphere outside is beautiful. Even though it rained in the evening, we stayed dry under the trees. I can't understand some of the bad reviews about the food. In any case, it is not true that frozen food is served when you can watch the grill master at work. Sure, it's a grotto and not a nuvelcuisine restaurant. In the end, the bill is only half as high as if you had dined in Ascona. 🤷‍♀️

Friendliness and excellent dishes

Cool place, grotto-like environment, good meeting place, easy parking, on the main road if you visit the Maggia valley and has plenty of seating, both inside and outside, offers typical dishes and has a good choice of wines, recommended for friends and groups

Typical Ticino grotto atmosphere and dishes, good food and very friendly staff. Perfect if you are looking for a good grotto during the summer period.

very nice terrace under the trees

Very nice garden terrace, very friendly service, short waiting times. My roast with polenta was very tasty. When it came to the polenta with alpine cheese, we had a different idea...we said alpine cheese in the polenta. It was also good, but the cheese wasn't to our liking. We think prices are ok. Reserve conveniently online.

The food, service and ambience were really fantastic. Even though the grotto was completely full, we spontaneously got a table and were served very attentively! Our dog was also able to find his place. 😊

Honestly a joke. Everything came from the micro oven and was overly salted to compensate for the obvious lack of quality.

Frozen food, too salty and tasteless. Friendly service but not very efficient. I don't recommend.

The atmosphere under the trees is very nice. Over the past few years we have had very mixed experiences regarding the food here. Opt for the cold plates or the melanzane as theye are really nice.

Pleasant environment, good food. I particularly appreciated the service. A very kind waiter, always attentive and friendly, I will gladly return.

Great location, good food, good service. Recommended for a warm summer evening.

Very good food, nice grotto, good service

Where to start...let's start from the location, which is appreciated by all, the cuisine raises some concerns... Dejected, sad and depressing…ribs boiled before being grilled…all I'm saying is this, let the Germans go.

Beautiful large terrace in the middle of the trees, beautiful stone tables, really Ticino, nice staff

Excellent environment, I found an old school friend as the owner with whom we shared old memories. Absolutely must visit place.

Courtesy, kindness and good food. Always very happy and satisfied.

Visit in anticipation of a possible future invitation in a few days... Good impression and good welcome from the staff present...afternoon break

The most beautiful place on earth😍

Delicious. 😊One of my favorite restaurants. 👍🏻

Excellent and historic grotto in the valley

Lasagna practically meatless. Mushrooms not fresh. Veal knuckle very tasty.

Loved the place, loved the service, definitely enjoyed the food! Recently renovated, plenty of space inside and outside and great atmosphere. We also have a “hard to please” baby that confirms the quality. :) Totally recommend.

Very well received and very well eaten, thank you very much for the welcome

Pork cosine to die for. A true delight. Magnificent welcome.

A safe value in the Maggia Valley. We visit Mai Morire every time we stay in Ticino and it is always simply beautiful there. The service is attentive, the Merlot tastes just like it would in a grotto in Boccalino, perfect and the Formaggella is second to none. See you next time!

Eaten very well. We'll be back 🥰

We discovered the fine grotto by chance while passing through. Very nice and helpful staff. We didn't have a reservation. The staff immediately arranged a table for us in the full grotto. The meal was excellent. Anyone who wanted could order again at no extra charge. Great price-performance ratio. We'd love to come back.

Always good. Very nice staff and typical grotto food.

It’s a superb place and the food is very good 👍🏼

Excellent cuisine and very friendly staff 👏👏

Very fine food, friendly service, cozy grotto! We recommend!

Beautiful grotto, beautifully shady. Worth a visit.

Beautiful place....we stopped passing by...very nice service...food 4 stars

Beautifully under the trees, wonderfully fresh, and very nice service, grazie

We ate ribs, they were excellent!! The staff is very friendly.

Big disappointment. We made a reservation and were there on time. We ended up having to wait 1 hour for our food. The quality of the food was poor and it just didn't taste good. We won't come again and won't recommend it to anyone else.

Actually deserves zero stars It was simply a disaster!!! I was here regularly. The food was bad. Children's portion, hardly any sauce on the salad, more bones like meat, carelessly prepared. We felt like we weren't welcome.🤨 I won't recommend it to anyone again.

Absolutely not recommended. Tasteless and expensive, I ordered a lasagna for 18.- and it was as big as the children's portion of the pasta and tasted absolutely zero.

We've been here a few times. But it has dropped in quality lately. As soon as the terrace is full, the kitchen is completely overwhelmed and you wait an hour or more for the food. The portions were also smaller and the food wasn't good either. We had an osso bucco and the sauce was watery and bland. We no longer go there and can no longer recommend it to anyone.

Our favorite grotto!! Hugo is a very nice, friendly host with a great team in the back. Fast service and a wide menu. Special Ticino special. Great ambience under the trees which provide shade in the heat. So I would like to recommend the grotto to everyone and give it a try. One time turns into several times. Have fun and buon appetit. A presto ad aveano in May morire..

The setting is magnificent and the service efficient and friendly. We had a good time there

Weird portion size (children's portion) the food is served cold and unfortunately doesn't taste good either - staff so so so la la - Absolutely not recommended!! Kitchen is great

Simply a disaster. Food was served cold and tasted good. Staff only speaks Italian. Otherwise nothing positive. Garden seating is nice. But never again

Very good, beautiful every year 👍

The ribs are excellent. You eat outdoors under the pergola. Prices ok

Taragna polenta with veal osso bucco, a treat! Large choice of dishes. Nice shady place.

Very good and typical... I recommend the costines 👍

There is no hospitality in feeling like guests, eating was so-so

Very nice place, nice service, but it was very stressful. Food was ok, unfortunately not very fresh, dead flies were baked into the lasagne..

We have been going to our favorite grotto in the Maggia Valley for over 30 years. Located on a slope, large terrace, forest in the background, enough parking space. Under big old trees. Very nice service. Very fine food. We have already tried various things, whether coniglio, entrecote, minestrone, polenta, rissoto, salads etc. everything is great! A Boccalino with a meal is awesome! A grappa with your espresso!

The food was very tasty and we received it very quickly. We had “Polenta e Brasato”, “Bistecca di Manzo” and “Impanata con patate fritte” (children's menu). We also thought the wine “Merlot del Ticino” was okay.

Loved it! Right next to the bus stop, nice outdoor location, good mix of food options, nice atmosphere.

Excellent Grotto, nice environment, good food, wide choice at honest prices

Very tasty food and friendly staff. And with a bit of luck, the Ticino Jodel Choir will be back...

Food and service excellent. Spacious terrace

prompt, attentive and friendly service. Price/performance food very positive I will go there again hon.

Polenta and osso bucco, simply good

Welcoming and friendly staff, excellent food, I highly recommend.

Food very good - recommended - service so - so - La La

Appreciated place, friendly staff, honest prices, simple but refined cuisine Excellent for a cheerful and simple meeting with family or friends

Excellent welcome and table service, plentiful Easter menu but at a lukewarm temperature. Overall, however, excellent

Very good food and nice atmosphere

Delicious. Horse tastes very tender. To recommend. Tiramisu also tastes delicious.

A perfect grotto from Ticino, a beautiful menu, affordable price, very friendly, well done

Mmhhh veal knuckles with risotto simply wonderful. Only recommended. Coming back...the Emmentalers

Very tasty food, friendly service and great location. I can only recommend it to everyone!! There are also typical Ticino dishes. The prices are also okay for Swiss standards.

We were there with a dog. The employees are extremely fond of animals. And after the food was really good, we spent a successful evening here.

Very fine dishes, Ticino cuisine. The portions could be a bit larger. Average prices.

Nice grotto. Very friendly service. Again and again.

Good food, much appreciated environment

Staff could be a little more motivated.

Top and fast service, we ate very well and without reserving a table. Nickel

Good grotto, very touristy and crowded but still with genuine and typical food, large terrace under the rocks of the mountain and convenient parking.

Great dinner, great service. Large rustic terrace, with benches and concrete tables. I ate gnocchi with wild garlic and tacks... all delicious!

Beautiful, cozy and inexpensive

After trying all the ones in the area this is absolutely the best. Excellent quality of meat, honest and attentive service, kind owner, fair prices for the quality. If we ever return to these parts it will be a pleasure to eat with you again.

Nice service, great food, good prices. Bravo 👍🌞

Super authentic Grotto! The dishes are delicious and the service very pleasant.

This time below expectations...polenta and porcini mushrooms disappointing. Served without a minimum of sauce, but just 0 😱 Polenta on one side of the plate, completely dry and mushrooms sautéed in a pan with a sprinkle of parsley, tasteless, on the other. Absent service...girls collecting plates and cleaning tables without interacting with the customer.

Good Ticino cuisine and very friendly service. Always worth a visit.

Good service, the best Ticino menus and moderate prices

Sorry for the 1 star, green salad starter: too little salad dressing, even had to eat some lettuce leaves dry. Main course: Was the most expensive on the menu; Beef fillet with potatoes and vegetables. The vegetables weren't seasoned, very bland and the meat wasn't cooked enough (medium -). I couldn't eat it, so I got a new one, unfortunately this time the outside was burnt, which is how it tasted. Had to let the meat stand twice. Go home hungry 😉

I have been going there for many years and we have always been happy with both the staff and the food. The food is really good and the place always fascinates me! A magical place if you can say with excellent local products.

Great Osobuco.Fine lasagna. Nice personel

Always worth a visit. Simple good cuisine. Great location. Fine hits of the day written on slates. Be sure to pay attention. Price performance top.

Polenta e ossobuco was fantastic and very friendly staff, we will definitely be back 👍

As always everything was excellent

Very nice service, we were very satisfied
