Osteria Borghese in Locarno

The location is too cute, it feels like being in grandma's house. Unfortunately I couldn't see the courtyard because obviously it's cold and it's not ready yet. But seeing the context, it will certainly be very nice too, I ate the cordon bleu which was really excellent, perfectly soft on the inside and obviously with a crust of fried breadcrumbs. The lady gave me the opportunity to change the side dish without any kind of problem. She was really very kind and helpful. It is definitely a place where I will return also to be able to taste the atmosphere that will be created in the courtyard

Had an excellent meal and enjoyed perfect service. The cook also asked, which we really appreciated. Left the restaurant completely satisfied and happy.

The food was very good and the service too. We'd love to come back.

Super authentic food. As always, a pleasure.

Top location in Locarno if you like it: authentic, cozy, high quality, great service. Anyone who is willing to make compromises and settle for less: stay wet. Otherwise: reserve & dine!

Very nice during this Sunday's beer festival. A really nice environment, parties like this should be the norm on weekends in Locarno

Beautiful location, incredible meal, impeccable service! I want to go back there 🥹 Thank you for this moment

Nice atmosphere and inexpensive, very tasty food. The Bolognese had more than enough meat and the bruschettes were also excellent.

Everything is just perfect! Went last week and are going again tomorrow. Looking forward to it!!!

Fantastic date night place. Everything was wonderful, from the food to the wine to the decor. We got there Only the early side, so we could be sure to get a table. Only issue is getting eaten by mosquitoes if you sit outside - but that was true anywhere we sat outside for dinner in Locarno.

Uncomplicated. Simple but so tasty food. Perfect. And you get a Limoncello at the end ;-)

The best cordon blues in Ticino, giants to say the least! Cozy and family place ideal for an evening with friends.

Our No. 1 tip for Locarno!! We had a sensationally beautiful evening with authentic, delicious food and super friendly service. Thank you very much, we will definitely be back. PS: Price-performance ratio is also top 👍😉😘

A fantastic meal, thank you so much!

we made a reservation and arrived on time but our table wasn't ready. we were told to wait 5, then 10, then 15 minutes, but we eventually gave up and left. the staff wasn't even friendly enough to serve us outside while waiting.

Another restaurant that I praise with mixed feelings: It is already often fully booked, especially since there is only a small restaurant available in the cold season and the inner courtyard is only available in the warmer period. The cook offers a distinctive homely cuisine, as if you were invited to dinner at your grandmother's, whose dishes are associated with beautiful childhood memories. Her best friend entertains the guests with great commitment and a sure sense of ensuring that things run fairly. No wonder they both need a few more days of rest! Which dishes? Let yourself be surprised!

A small tavern, very welcoming, with fantastic food and large portions. We particularly appreciated the homemade tagliatelle with ragù and cordon bleu, a house specialty.

Very well received, but service too fast, just enough time to take a sip of the aperitif before the starter arrives!!! Uninteresting waitress, doesn't advise anything at all and doesn't take care of people who are not from the region! I had the same dish as someone from a table next door who knew the establishment and it had nothing to do with my dish. I was thinking of eating a pork chop because it was so full of fat and sinew and above all very overcooked given that it was beef, she didn't even ask me to cook it!!! We left feeling disgusted and frustrated that we could have trusted them. It's clear that we won't come back, which is a shame because there is enormous potential in this place. With this message I just wanted to restore the rating that gave them. If you want to try, whatever you want, but you will be warned. ABE.

Simply cozy and very, very fine!

All very good and the staff very kind. Until next time.

Unbelievable, everything was exceptional. I'm not easily impressed but I wa blown away here.

We had the 3 course house menu and it was excellent! Fresh ingredients, beautifully seasoned and prepared. Even homemade spaetzle. The service was very nice and explained and translated everything to us. You can sit directly in the restaurant (few seats) or on the terrace (it has a roof and is heated in winter). Card payment possible.

Great food at decent prices! Nice courtyard and nice service. Gladly again!

When we go there...we always go back. Absolutely delicious!

A rather inconspicuous restaurant from the outside. However, you are then led into the beautiful inner courtyard, which invites you to linger. The menu has a limited selection but is still very stimulating. The food was typically Mediterranean, very good and intense in taste. Had the daily menu twice and once ruccola ravioli with goat cheese and honey. The service was friendly and accommodating. Absolute insider tip in Locarno Come back 😄

What a nice surprise we had rented a small apartment in Locarno for 2 days and we found ourselves in this Inn which rented the apartment at the back of the terrace, very clean and comfortable, the magnificent terrace as well as the food, thanks to Rita and her very kind staff and very professional. We will come back without hesitation

Wonderful place made of wonderful people. It's a lovely meal. All very well looked after and a splendid service. To try and try again and again and again....

June 2022: We visited the restaurant again 8 months later. The very positive impression has been confirmed! October 2021: Very good food, the service worked perfectly and a nice location. This restaurant is highly recommended!

A very good food in a friendly local athmosphere.

A family running business, great food, good wine, nice atmosphere and romantic place. You have to make a reservation to have a table for dinner here. Price was €€+

We spontaneously went to Osteria Borghese. It started with a generous Aperol Spritz. There were also olives, salami and cheese with crackers. I had perfect tagliatelle al ragú and then a kind of Ticino appetizer with homemade puree made from potatoes and carrots. For desert there was a fluffy tiramisu. Everything tasted excellent and authentic. The house wine, a Merlot, went very well with it. Friendly and courteous service. We will be back.

A two-woman team that conjures up wonderful delicacies. Excellent food, changing regional dishes in a homely atmosphere. We recommend!

The food at Osteria Borghese was simply wonderful. Add local wine and the evening was perfect. Super friendly service. A secret tip in Locarno. We'd love to come back... Warm greetings from the Emmentaler

We had a short time today and were lucky enough to visit the OB and were really pampered at every stage of the gasteonomy. Thank you very much and see you again⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Small and very welcoming place. You must reserve in advance if you want to find a free table. The portions are generous, see excellent pumpkin soup with curry and croutons at the entrance. The rösti were perfect, homemade toasted on both sides and very finely cut. Fast and friendly service.

Excellent small restaurant in the northern part of the town, small but really good menu, good wine selection, all dishes are home made, abundant portions, kind staff. Better book your place, during my visit different people had to go elsewhere as it was fully booked.

Very good food, delicious, very good service, very friendly staff! A welcoming terrace! A very good kitchen, delicious, a great service, the servers are very kind and friendly! The terrace is very cozy

Sensational food, all freshly prepared, would be happy again 👍

Very fine food, nice restaurant, very friendly service... What more could you ask for? - Thank you very much!

Sensational food, beautiful ambience, top service! Simply perfect and always worth a visit! Don't forget to make a reservation!👍👌😉

Good and very friendly service. Good food in a pleasant atmosphere.

Very friendly and well-positioned employee. Top service. The food was very tasty, the ravioli were homemade. Would love to come back.

Price is way above of the taste of the dishes, we ordered the house special and it was Ok, nothing really special. The sauce tastes like ready made soup mix

Very unfriendly to children not welcome at all came with 5 kids Empty tables, no one was there. Answer no space, all occupied

Great food! Very nice location 😃

Food great, service unfortunately not

nicht nur nach der corona-durststrecke eine offenbarung, dass es nebst der piazza-08.15-verpflegung auch noch eine kleine, feine, raffinierte küche gibt. ausgezeichnete menus, freundliche bedienung und das gewisse etwas. mein neuer geheimtipp für jeden locarnobesuch! ariane

(Traducido por Google) Muy bien (Original) Sehr fein!

Very nice and pleasant little restaurant. Good service and very fine food. Fits any time, any time...

Die Osteria Borghese ist ein kleibes Restaurant. Der Empfang ist freundlich, die Karte nicht überladen aber auch mit wenig Inspiration. Die Portionen sind reichlich und es gibt nichts zu meckern. Aber auch nichts speziell zu loben.

Wir waren am Donnerstagabend zum Abendessen und das Ambiente war sehr schön und die Bedienung herzlich. Wir hatten einen gemischten Salat und das Entrecôte sowie den Hauswein-es schmeckte alles sehr fein. Das Preis-/leistungsverhältnis könnte nicht besser sein.

Sehr freundliche Bedienung und ausgezeichnetes einheimisches Essen. Kleine aber feine Karte mit guten Preisen. Bravo!

Very tasty and innovative. I enjoyed it. Nice staff and nicely decorated restaurant.

Very good cuisine. Very friendly service. We recommend. Be sure to reserve a table in advance.

For this testimony, don't trust us when it comes to food. We only passed by as simple drinkers. However, know that the wine is good and the welcome is full of concern. Take a five Swiss franc coin and you will have a well-filled glass, served with attention. The details of the service and the atmosphere of the place do not deceive the mind accustomed to restaurants immediately guesses, the place is of quality. Go ahead and give yourself the means to have a good time.

Super delicious food and friendly service! The pan is recommended👍

This was one of, if not THE best food experience I had in Locarno. The ambience was really nice, we were inside as the outside spots were not usable due to heavy rains but it was so cosy, with nice music and art on the walls. The staff was friendly and professional, and the meal simply amazing! The menu is small which in this case is also indicative of the quality of the food. We got an entrecote served in a pan with a sauce and accompanied by potatoes and veggies, highly recommended. Last but not least, fairly priced. I strongly recommend to visit.

Mit grossen Erwartungen haben wir am Donnerstagabend die Osteria Borghese besucht und wir wurden nicht enttäuscht! Nach dem Apéro haben wir die Spezialität des Hauses, einen gemischten Salat und danach Rinds-Entrecôte im Pfännchen mit Bratkartoffeln, bestellt. Das zarte im Kräuterbutter gegarte Entrecôte war fantastisch! Dazu tranken wir den Hauswein, einen guten roten Merlot. Für Vor- und Hauptspeise bezahlten wir 39.00/Person, für den Hauswein 5.00/dl. Fazit: Freundlicher Service, gemütliches Ambiente im Innenhof und ein sehr gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis. Wir kommen wieder!

Le restaurant est situé sur un bord de route peu fréquenté mais muni d'un patio prisé pour lequel il faudra réserver à l'avance. L'ambiance générale est chaleureuse, dommage que la serveuse soit prise par le temps et trop speed durant les explications.Viandes excellentes, petite terasse extérieure très chaleureuse, prix à la hauteur des prestations

Ce restaurant dans un très joli cadre rustique offre des bons petits plats Tessinnois avec un super service et gentillesse du personnel j ai adoré

(Traducido por Google) Pan precortado durante el día y servido en bolsa de papel => prácticamente seco con un pronunciado sabor a levadura => con salsa es comestible) Buen aderezo para ensaladas y ensalada mixta correcta Entrecot de ternera con salsa especial de la casa => Carne: recién asada pero casi fría (servida en un plato con fogón, pero no lograron encenderla incluso después de 3x. Se apagó inmediatamente) Salsa: salsa de curry bestia con 2 o 3 hierbas persiguiéndose ... No está mal pero nada más Vino: pobre belinzona Un poco más al agregar, se ofrece servicio de limoncelo No se recomienda a menos que no pueda encontrar en otro lugar porque es demasiado caro para la calidad recibida. (Original) Pain pré-coupé dans la journée et servis dans un sac papier => pratiquement sec avec un gout de levure prononcé => avec de la sauce c est mangeable) Sauce a salade bonne et salade composée correcte Entrecote de boeuf sauce special de la maison => Viande : juste rotie mais presque froide (servie dans un plat avec réchaud, mais ils n ont pas reussi a l allumer meme apres 3x.

Pas mauvaise mais sans plus Vin : belinzona pas terrible Petit plus lors de l addition, service de limoncelo offert Non recommandé sauf si vous ne trouvez pas ailleurs car c est trop cher pour la qualite reçue

(Original) Gartenwirtschaft mit schöner Deco und Details durchdachtes Konzept. Freundliche und aufmerksame Bedienung. Hervorragende Küche ein Ort zum Verweilen.

Wir waren am Samstagabend in der Osteria Borghese und haben ausgezeichnet gegessen. Die Atmosphäre ist sehr nett, drinnen sehr gemütlich, draussen offen und schön. Das Restaurant ist grad ein wenig weg vom Trubel Zentrum, vom Hauptplatz aber in 5 Minuten erreichbar (zu Fuss).

Magnifique cuisine pleine de fraîcheur et d'authenticité. Service très agréable. Une vraie bonne surprise !

Cadre très agréable (réserver dans la petite cour à l'arrière), menu restreint mais tout avait l'air super bon. Nous avons pris 2 entrées pour 3: le fromage de chèvre et confiture d'abricot (meilleure confiture du monde!!) et les bruschetta de tomates. Puis un plat de pâtes chacune, originaux mais excellents.Je recommande!!

(Traducido por Google) Hermoso restaurante en el casco antiguo muy bien cuidado en detalle, la cocina de Myrta es una verdadera delicia. Me encantan los raviolis de cacao ... pruébalos;) el excelente servicio !!! (Original) Bellissimo ristorante in citta' vecchia molto ben curato nei dettagli, la cucina di Myrta è una vera delizia io adoro i ravioli al cacao ...provateli ;) il servizio ottimo!!!

(Traducido por Google) Pequeño y acogedor restaurante, tarjeta de menú pequeño seleccionado. Servicio amable pero abrumado, lo que llevó a tiempos de espera más largos, por lo que decidimos renunciar al postre y al café. (Original) Freundliches kleines Restaurant, ausgewählte kleine Menukarte. Service freundlich aber überlastet, was zu längeren Wartezeiten führte, weshalb wir dann auf Dessert und Kaffee verzichtet haben

(Traducido por Google) Nunca me ha decepcionado. Simplemente bien (Original) Wurde noch nie enttäuscht. Einfach fein.

Sehr sympathische Osteria mit hervorragender Küche. Der Service ist überaus freundlich und die Speisekarte überzeugt mit tollen Speisen. Preis-Leistung ist top! Wir freuen uns auf ein nächstes Mal.

We found this place in our way to the hotel and we thought it would be nice if we grab a drink or something since the place looked cozy and quite. We ended up having dinner “chocolate ravioli with ricotta and orange”. It was amazing. Even now wringing about it, makes my mouth watery. Best vegetarian dish that I have ever had + the positive vibe and friendly staffs. We really enjoyed. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

(Traducido por Google) Todo está justo aquí: un restaurante (pequeño) muy agradable (cuando hace buen tiempo en el gran patio), excelentes fotos en las paredes, un servicio muy agradable, un ambiente agradable, tarjetas escritas a mano y una comida que simplemente te hace feliz. Ve allí y disfruta. ¡Especialmente los raviolis de cacao son un poema! Se recomienda reservar con anticipación. (Original) Hier stimmt alles: sehr schönes (kleines) Lokal (bei schönen Wetter im tollen Innenhof), tolle Bilder an den Wänden, sehr nette Bedienung, angenehmes Ambiente, handgeschriebene Karten und ein Essen, das einem einfach glücklich machen muss! Hingehen und geniessen. Vorallem die Cacao Ravioli sind ein Gedicht! Eine vorgängige Reservation empfiehlt sich sehr!

(Traducido por Google) Servicio amable, precios justos, bonito patio, muy buenos entrantes, pero platos principales demasiado salados. Música un tanto inapropiada (música rock ... 😳) (Original) Freundliche Bedienung, faire Preise, schöner Innenhof, sehr gute Vorspeisen, Hauptgänge jedoch zu salzig. Etwas unpassende Musik (Rockmusik...😳)

Nice staff... very very friendly. Small menu card but all the food sounds fresh. I had mixed salad... nice decorating. Later Ravioli... very tasty. The location is small... inside outside is not nice cause of the covering... on the street only 2 tables. If not much traffic so is ok.Get free limoncello when u pay... almost all place in Locarno.Maybe.... will be backYes... will recommend

Da Mirta si sta sempre bene, piatti belli con dettagli particolari per gli occhi, buonissimi per il palato, prodotti sempre freschi, buona scelta di vini locali, ottimo il servizio e stupenda terrazza nel cortile !!! alla prossima!!!

Una piccola realtà nascosta nella città vecchia di Locarno. Felice di averla scoperta. Lo staff cordiale e la cucina curata. Cena fra amici torneremo presto.

OTTIMO POSTOIeri sera siamo stati all’osteria borghese.Abbiamo mangiato il pentolino, la loro specialità.personale impeccabile e la proprietaria molto disponibile in tutto.Ci torneremo presto presto

(Traducido por Google) recomendado (Original) sconsigliato

The tables on the terrasse were fully booked so we had to stay in the bar, alone. The food was good , we had the bruschetta and linguine ragu and the service was spotty as they were busy on the terrace but friendly. We liked this restaurant, but would have preferred a better arrangement.

Siamo rimasti delusi da tutto: servizio scadente, qualità del cibo insufficiente e quantità scarse. Prezzi troppo elevati. Sconsigliato! inoltre siamo stati trattati male e con sufficienza

Posto carino e curato, cucina ottima, come la fassona e i mitici rösti di Mirta.. la fondue di formaggio anche molto buono, come sono ottimi i dolci. Posto consigliatissimo sia con amici o con il propio partner. È sempre un piacere tornarci.

Come sempre Mirta cucina divinamente, ci siamo deliziati con i rosti .... il tutto accompagnato da un buon vino e dalla gentilezza del personale !!!

A quién le gusta un poco más relajado que la bulliciosa Piazza Grande, ciertamente no está mal aquí. (Original) Leckeres Essen in einem hübschen, kleinen Innenhof. Angenehm ausgewogenes Angebot und eine äusserst charmante Bedienung. Wer es etwas entspannter mag als beim betriebigen Piazza Grande, ist hier sicher nicht falsch.

(Original) Ausserordentlich freundliche und aufmerksame Bedienung sowie sehr gutes Essen in gemütlichem Ambiente. Dee wunderschöne Innenhof war aber leider bereits ausgebucht.

Wenn du Hunger hast, komm hier her. Die Teller sind voll. Wenn du Lust hast, komm hier her. Dein Geschmackssinn wird verwöhnt. Wenn du einen Ort zum Essen suchst, komm hier her. Die Einrichtung, die Bedienung und der Service sind wunderbar. Ich werde sicher wiederkommen und das nicht nur, weil es ein Frauenbetrieb ist!

(Traducido por Google) Un pequeño gran lugar, me encantó la comida, fue realmente bueno. El restaurante se abre en un patio cubierto muy lindo. Haga reservas a medida que el lugar se llene. (Original) Great little place, loved the food, it was really good. The restaurant opens up in a covered patio so very cute. Make reservations as the place gets full.

Wir konnten das Abendessen in der Osteria sehr geniessen! Die Karte ist handgeschrieben, die Auswahl bietet für jeden etwas auch wenn die Karte nicht riesig ist. Sehr sympatisch! Das Essen wurde uns in bester Qualität durch den freundlichen Service serviert. In der Hochsaison ist eine Reservation wohl unumgänglich. Wir haben den Abend im Innenhof genossen und kommen sehr gerne wieder!
