Ristorante Borgo Vecchio in Balerna

Very good pizza. Service as well

Very good food and best service. I can only recommend

Characteristic place, good pizzas, excellent cuisine, prices in line with the area

The staff were very friendly and attentive to customer needs

Great place with wonderful and super tasty cuisine.

I ate here 15 years ago when I was playing pro basketball for Sav Vacallo.. The food and service was always Great!!!

It's always great experience being there for lunch. One of the preferred place for the lunch with our guests and office colleagues. Keep up the good work.

All very good and very professional staff

We went to an evening organized with music. We had an excellent pizza and also delicious polenta and braised meat. Advise

Wonderful Italian restaurant The pizza is special And the bella vegetable soup

Ate the saddle. Not cheap, but very good and filling. Excellent service and a nice, non-noisy environment.

Very good and inexpensive food. We're always happy to come back!

We had a very tasty meal. Delicious pizzas and fast service!

Last night an excellent pizza, this evening a simply sublime risotto with porcini mushrooms

I went for a work appointment and they welcomed me with a smile. While waiting for my colleague they made me sit down and I took a gazosa with ice and tarallini as a side dish. I immediately noticed the blackboard with the chef's proposals and I must say they were truly tempting. It's a shame I couldn't stop by for dinner but I certainly want to come back to try something from their inviting menu.

We were there for 1 night. Very friendly staff and clean house. Very good food and breakfast.

Only seen the restaurant for a business lunch, the best solution in the area, it offers a fairly varied menu, the outdoor terrace is also available

Nice hotel close to the highway.

The food was a bit disappointing. If you order your meat medium, it should not be well done.

Very good food and friendly staff

Small room for too much money, food nothing special, and also too expensive.

Very good food, friendly and courteous waiters

Great hotel and restaurant. Very nice staff. With restaurant and bar. Large wine selection. Delicious breakfast. Highly recommended for a stop on the trip! Family rooms available!

Very good cuisine. Simple clean rooms. Friendly hosts, what more do you need.

Real nice stay for a stop during the travelling. Very nice room and the pizzas were delicious.

Good overnight stay with slightly too small rooms and good dinner and good wine list. Twice as expensive as outside Switzerland.

Dinner for group work. Not everything was good but above all the prices are out of proportion for this type of place and food: 1 pizza even €16/18???? We are not in Piazza S. MARCO in Venice!

When I have to go to the area for work I always stop here, excellent location, the food is good and the atmosphere is very nice.

If you are looking for a comfortable place to stay a few steps from the Italy - Switzerland customs, Borgovecchio is for you: clean and comfortable environments, kindness and a fabulous breakfast.

Excellent pizza 🍕 and friendly staff

The location was perfect for me for what I had to do. However, the restaurant (and the hostel) are located just under the motorway bridge (it remains quite well soundproofed being 30 meters below and following the installation of noise barriers) Concerning the rooms, for the price paid, the ratio is very good. A coffee machine and still and sparkling water in a fridge are available free of charge. Breakfast is served at the table (included in the room price) and for the price it is more than fair.

Ok restaurant, nothing particular to report, kind and friendly staff, good pizza and other dishes in general, all my friends I went to dinner with left satisfied, honest prices.

Good food, friendly and helpful staff. Super recommended!

I went a couple of weeks ago with my better half, very welcoming environment and very helpful dining room staff to help you choose the dish that's right for you! We started with a chef's appetizer (photo corresponding to a portion) proposed by the waiter and it was actually an excellent choice! Clams, meatballs, calamari and prawns! A big Up with garlic prawns!!!! You absolutely must try them, exquisite sauce and prawns that melt in your mouth! We continued our dinner with a plate of spaghetti with clams, very tasty, a bit of a shame because there was a bit of sand. We finished our dinner with a sea bream fillet which was also very good. All in all, a more than satisfactory quality/price ratio, I highly recommend it for a fish-based dinner (better on weekends because there is more choice on fresh fish). We will definitely be back!

The hotel is just under the highway. However, it is very quiet. The room, etc. is perfectly clean. The price-performance ratio is right. The breakfast was perfect for us. It would be good to know that the albergo or reception does not open until 5:30 p.m.

New management, I only stopped for a glass of water.

Excellent lunch break menu around 11pm

Cozy, practical, economical, good quality. Reservations are recommended for both sleeping and eating.

Restaurant and pizzeria that you can visit when passing through Chiasso. The pizza is ok, the wines too.

I came to eat pizza. Very decent pizza.

Good food, excellent pizza and they also have a menu of typical Portuguese dishes

All good and the staff helpful and kind despite a large amount of visitors

I ate CordonBleu in this restaurant, disgraceful, the meat inside was completely raw, when paying I asked for the bill and the ATM, the lady brings the ATM, enters the purchase price (I assume) takes my card and makes the payment via contactless without Don't even show me the amount you entered for billing, for God's sake... no comments...

Excellent dishes, fast and friendly service

Ate very well, waited very little and spent the right amount in a very, very quiet context, definitely to be recommended, I will return.

Good business lunch at a good price, very friendly and courteous staff

We had chosen your restaurant for a special occasion, an anniversary. Thank you for ruining our evening with your indifference, arrogance and conceit (I can also explain the etymology of the aforementioned words in case you don't know them). The two characters we accidentally glimpsed seemed enraged at the world but perhaps the problem was a scratch on the bodywork or a small tear on their expensive shirt?. In any case, what does a couple of customers who had even booked have to do with it? In a half-empty restaurant, the non-existent service and the contemptuous treatment can only be explained by a personal dislike regardless. Or maybe they mistook us for ROM despite the Swiss license plate and a brand new car? Staying for almost half an hour without even a glass of water, with two menus thrown absentmindedly on the table and when asked for the wine list being addressed as if you were starving and couldn't afford wine, "eh, you have to ask for that !!!" (With the tone normally used to respond to an insult.) Then seeing other customers who arrived later pass by and be served, and then still be totally ignored, what does it mean in your opinion? Maybe the "gentlemen" managers have cognitive problems? ...As if we had been financial agents or health inspectors... I say. A piece of advice from those who visit numerous restaurants for work: Dedicate yourself to wine (at least in that I hope you are more than excellent otherwise a profound existential question will really arise) and leave catering to those who really understand it. A job should be an inspiration, not a tremendous, gritted-teeth effort. Really, forget it. I imagine I will only be able to receive answers that drip rhetoric: "our long experience", "I understand that you are an expert", "we apologize for the inconvenience but...". But nothing. You cannot be treated as if you were in the presence of the Marquis del Grillo of distant memory who tells you: "I am me and you are not a dick". It really is unacceptable.

Portuguese and Spanish cuisine, lots of fish in all ways and cod cannot be missing

Disappointed. We booked for dinner, when we arrived the welcome was as if we were a nuisance. Once seated, we look at the menu, and wait... motioning that we are ready to order, we ask for the wine list and we are told that we had to ask for it. We look at the wine list and wait again... in the meantime a table of people who arrived after us is served with drinks, no one asked us if we wanted water, I deduce it was our job to ask for it. Although the restaurant was practically empty, after another twenty minutes without seeing anyone to order water, wine or food, we went elsewhere. I can't know what the food is like, but from the service I received, I'm frankly left with no curiosity left.

Nice place, plentiful dishes, good menu choice. Friendly and kind staff and last but not least customer care. I asked for tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms off the menu and they were made for me, appreciated. Very good dish with abundant porcini mushrooms, balanced dish with the right flavor. Well done! I highly recommend and will happily return.

I've been here several times for lunch, and I have to say that everything is very good

We stayed there for one night on our way to Italy and it was great! The bathroom is equipped with everything you need (toothbrushes, shower gel, hairdryer...) and the bathroom and room were spotlessly clean and nicely furnished. We received a very friendly welcome and with a combination of German, Italian and English, communication was no problem. The place is very nice, the food (we had pizza) was just great! It's a shame that the restaurant isn't near us, we would definitely be there more often! We were very satisfied all around 😀 👍

Excellent place for working travellers, convenient to the border, good restaurant, excellent wines

Great place. Courteous and attentive staff!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

A variety of excellently prepared dishes

Very warm atmosphere, attentive staff, menu and pizzas to recommend!

Excellent paella and very filling; other Portuguese dishes we tried are also delicious; very friendly staff. Average prices. We will be back.

Varied menu and competitive prices, recommended

A little expensive, but good food

We went to the restaurant for the gastronomic review of the lower Mendrisiotto. Ate baked pig. Good 👍

Not just pizza! Iberian cuisine at its finest. Bacalhau, highly recommended.......

Kind and professional. Excellent food.

Romantic dinner with my wife. Nice atmosphere, excellent food and wide choice of wines. To be recommended

Excellent food, exceptional price

Nice atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. The prices are a little high ... but in Swiss we know, that's how it is!

A little expensive but the food is very good, from pizza to pasta... Very friendly staff... Recommended!!

Quick to serve for lunch and also good

Great hotel. Tasty food and friendly staff. Highly recommended for transit.

Food and service are top notch. 4*. We spent the night in the junior suite. Very spacious, but ventilation is not good. Air conditioning is insufficient. Therefore 3*

Good overnight hotel, right next to the road, has a pizzeria, excellent service, bed a bit hard

Restaurant closed during my stay. Really very modest hotel, in the attic. Never again in my life, I would rather sleep under the overpass which is the panorama offered by this hotel restaurant.

Undoubtedly very good pizza and a decent midday menu. The only flaw is that the service, in my opinion, is not always up to par. Still worth a try

Great restaurant with reasonable prices!

Friendly staff and rooms appropriate for this class... (unfortunately our beds weren't great and the skylight couldn't be darkened). Okay for an overnight stop...but nothing more.

Superb place: welcoming, available and friendly staff. Great choice of food and breathtaking paella. Very clean, pretty room with air conditioning. Ideal for hot summer nights ;). Very well located near Lugano (therefore the lake), Chiasso and Italy! We had a very good stay and recommend this stop because the value for money is EXCELLENT! Grazie mile Albergho Borgo Vecchioooo!

Thank you for the hospitality. Very great atmosphere and friendly staff. Fine lunch menu at a reasonable price. Pizza from the wood oven.

We had the pizza from the wood-fired oven and we thought it was delicious. Staff very friendly.

Quality service, I ate an excellent octopus

Excellent restaurant also with options for vegetarians

We had dinner at this nice place and were very satisfied with the quality of the fish. Courteous and kind service. We will happily return

The outside bar is good and beautiful

It was wonderful... The food, the staff, the boss and everything there in general. The rooms are also clean and there is nothing to complain about.

Near the Ponte Chiasso customs office. Pizza restaurant with Portuguese/Spanish cuisine. Classy dinner... we had an appetizer of cold cuts with smileys, accompanied by Ticino red wine (all excellent). As a first course we all had paella (min 2 people). My memories immediately went to the paella eaten in Barcelona... so the comparison immediately started... in my opinion not won. We were however satisfied with the wine service and the food. The price in the end was also average for Switzerland. Recommended for those who are nostalgic for Spain without big demands.

The food was very good. The wine could be selected in the wine shop together with the helpful and friendly waiter. The bottles are also sold. There were blankets to combat the cold. Don't be put off by the situation. Restaurant is located in the industrial district. But you will be surprised with white tablecloths and a warm ambience. I would happily recommend it.

Wir waren für 2 Nächte im Borgovecchio. Preis / Leistung ist voll ok. Die Zimmer sind sauber. Badezimmer relativ gross, aber ohne Tageslicht. Die Betten waren sehr bequem. Mineralwasser und Kaffee waren gratis erhältlich. Von der Lage her......für uns war es ok, ist aber relativ laut von der Strasse her. Auch das Hotel selber ist sehr geringhörig.Das Restaurant ist sehr schön, die Angestellten freundlich. Frühstück war lecker. Nachtessen war zT sehr gut zT war es ok..

Eine herrliche Küche. Wir waren positiv überrascht und hatten den Eindruck uns in einem gehoben Restaurant zu befinden. Sehr zu empfehlen

Sehr feines und schmackhaftes Essen. Draußen auf der Terrasse herrscht eine nette Atmosphäre mit freundlichem Personal und angenehmer Musik. Es gibt Heizstrahler auf der Terrasse zum wärmen. Ich komme gerne wieder ♡

Extremely fine cuisine...a culinary delight...highly recommended. Very friendly staff and a great atmosphere ♡

We spent 6 nights in the mini suite as a family. We were welcomed very personally by Andrea, the managing director. In general, the staff is very friendly and responds to requests. Breakfast was brought to the table (possibly only during Covid time). Even our hungry boys were more than full. The pizzaiolo made us one of the best pizzas in the wood-fired oven. The chef cooked something delicious every evening, whether Italian, Portuguese or Spanish. He is originally Spanish, which is why the Primi Piatti was no worse. The service is very attentive. The ambience in the restaurant is great. I really liked the wine bottles in the background, which are also for sale. Our room, the mini suite, was big enough for two adults and two boys. The room has been renovated and has attractive pictures. However, everything is not 100% finished here. Not all lamps or blinds work like this. There is air conditioning which we didn't need. There are only skylights. It is important to know that the highway passes over a bridge right next to the hotel. So the noise level and ambience are not exactly great. The hotel is located in the industrial area. However, you can quickly reach vineyards on foot or by bike. Excursion destinations in southern Ticino can also be easily reached by public transport. There were two small incidents, but they were dealt with easily. Price-performance is very good. It's not quite enough for 5 stars. If I could, I would give 4.5 stars. We have rarely experienced such warm hosts as Andrea, the waiters and the pizzaiolo. Thanks.

Amazing place. Stuff is very professional and ready to go extra miles just to give you warm feelings. Nice choice of local and regional wines. Tasty food. I staying in the hotel for a night as well. Room is cosy, clean and really big. Car park in the side as well.... Strictly recommended. Will come back again. Thank you for everything guys- you doing great job..... Good luck and hope to see you again soon.....

La pizza e buonissima e il posto è accogliente

Una pizza divina cotta nel forno a legna, purtroppo dato le ristrettezze da covid non abbiamo potuto provare altre specialità del locale, sicuramente ci andremo appena possibile a provare il pesce

Pizza ottima. Molto gentili e veloci

Cucina iberica e lusitana deliziosa e di sapore delicato, nonostante l'utilizzo di spezie. Da provare.

Niente da ridire per pranzo di lavoro. Comunque la carbonara con la panna e l'acqua a 8 CHF mi sconvolgono.

Buonissimi i primi ...pizza top...e due bambole super che servono

Abbiamo scelto dal Menu diverse pietanze.Pizza, cotoletta e patatine per i bambini, mentre io ho mangiato spaghetti allo scoglio e per secondo baccalà.Tutto ottimo, ben servito e abbondante. Prezzo onesto.

La nuova gestione e tutta da provare, sembra ottima

Lo consiglio vivamente! Mangiato molto bene 👍👍

Preso polpette di bacalhao e fritto di tentacoli di polipetti, leggero il fritto e polpette ben fatte e saporite, poi coda di rospo con vongole e patate, buono.Per gli amici italiani pensate che siamo in Svizzera e si mangia pesce di mare, regolatevi e non reclamate se trovate il prezzi cari per voiNon siamo né in Puglia ne in Calabria (che in proporzione sono molto più cari)Nessun problema per il posto macchina
