Ristorante Caffè Al Lago in Gambarogno

Excellent restaurant. Excellent and very varied food. Quiet with lake view. Very kind and affable staff. Prices normal. I highly recommend it

Great food with a fantastic terrace! Polite and courteous staff…

We have been here several times... Whether pizza, pasta, risotto, panna cotta….semper perfetto!🤗 Nice and quick service Large portions—— fresh We always enjoy coming back, you can't get any closer to Lake Maggiore😊

Nice lakeside setting and sort of reasonable prices for Switzerland especially as portion size good.

Love the refurb, friendly service, good menu, lovely food, great position

Excellent space, with a very pleasant terrace, very good pizzas and good service.

Fast service, friendly staff, good food, I recommend.

Years ago we often came here during the holidays. Also by boat. However, it has deteriorated rapidly over the years. Management pays little attention. Very high prices for what is offered. I don't think €8 for a glass of bitter Lemon is normal.

Excellent, hand-cut tartare. Best meat with egg yolk, capers, anchovies and onions to add your own. Very nicely seasoned spaghetti with seafood. Price / offer: Very good. Service was very prompt and friendly.

We ate there on Saturday, unfortunately we can't understand the good reviews. Pizza was too runny, everything ran down and had absolutely no taste, the cordon bleu wasn't seasoned and the meat wasn't the best either. Service was good.

Highly recommended! Good cuisine at reasonable prices. There is also a wonderful view of Lake Maggiore. Plus you can go for a walk and relax at the public beach next door. Parking is also available, but for a fee! But you pay for parking almost everywhere these days.

Very bad and rude service! You don't feel welcome. It's a shame because the location would be perfect...

Guests are not welcome. Left unattended after 15 minutes... Not worth anything

Deserved 5 stars ⭐️ Location is very nice on the lake with a beautiful view. The service was always friendly and quick. In our case, he also understands German and English. The food was also really delicious. It was very satisfying. And the price was okay too.

Very tasty food and lovely service! Recommendation: Prosciutto gorgonzola

We reserved a table and wanted to enjoy a family evening in the best atmosphere. First we ordered the drinks, but they never came. After the salad came we asked for the drinks, forgot. Then we waited 1 hour and 50 minutes for food. We asked when others who came an hour after us had food in front of us. (So ​​we were patient) Without apology the food came after 15 minutes. The food was ok, but for this price it's not possible. Even numbers were difficult. Never again!

Excellent pizza, wonderful staff..thank you ❤️

Beautiful view of the lake. Food is good. Pleasant service.

Dine directly on the lake. or enjoy an aperitif. The food (Piatto Ticino) was good and generous. Unfortunately only white bread with it. Beautiful view towards Magadino Schifflände and Lake Maggiore.

Very nice place for eating local fried fish while overlooking the lake. Food is good but a bit pricey everything considered.

Lovely view to go with the best pizza. A generous helping for 2 people. The price is perfect. Appreciated the friendly service. The pizza was delicious. Only place serving pizza during siesta time.

Very nice view of Lake Maggiore, the food is very good and the service is extremely friendly

Everything is very good, we ate the chef's penne, a mushroom risotto and Viennese-style schnitzels. Homemade tiramisus... a real delight from start to finish...

Excellent food... being a vegetarian they pleased me with an excellent asparagus risotto...

Fine Pizza and friendly stuff. 🙂

Update: seems like they changed owner or Pizzaiolo, Pizza isn't that good anymore. Haven't tried the new desert. Very nice restaurant with a great view. Staff are super friendly and the pizza is very delicious. They have a special black pizza made from charcoal flour which is better digestible. Delicious homemade tiramisu !

Large pizzeria right on the lake with a large covered terrace

Pizza was great combined with the view of the lake, I can highly recommend it.

Right on the lake Good pizza the salad should be changed was very monotonous

Food and service very good, the “frittura mista del Lago” recommended.

Friendly service but everything we ate was just acceptable, from salad to dessert

Friendly staff and good food, spectacular view.....

Excellent cuisine, very kind staff.

The menu card on the internet is not valid

Pizza base was crispy. The requirements are quite manageable. Unfortunately, when operating, you had the impression that you were being a nuisance. We were always watched by two small birds perching on the tables and chairs.

The service was super fast! We had pizza, unfortunately the toppings were sparse, we found the quality to be only average. The location is great!

Fantastic place by the lake. Ate very well. The menu card offers a wide choice; from pizza, to pasta, to fish and meat. Honest prices. Courteous and attentive staff. Advised.

We were here yesterday. Amazing service, beautiful view and very tasty food. We tried insalate tona e cipolla, minestrone, pizza parmigana and absolutely unbelievable homemade tiramisu. Moreover, it was really good coffee. My wife said that it was the best coffee. As a summary: excellent place with parking and view, tasty food which also good for vegetarians (so rare in Swiss).

Very fine food, wonderful views, friendly service, everything as you wish!

Excellent service, delicious mixed fried lake fish

Very good dishes. The Merlot and goat cheese risotto is an interesting discovery. The pizzas are average. Extraordinary view.

Beautiful view of Lago Maggiore, perfect rizottto!

Very nice place Service friendly Tip for the local: write down the origin of the meat precisely or the staff is friendly enough to take the time to ask in the kitchen, even in stressful moments Looking forward to next time

Nice restaurant by the lake Friendly welcome, more than fair price

Since the renovation it has been very nice and the staff is very friendly

Covered terrace, feet in the water and pizzas

Bad pizza dough, at first I thought it was the knife that was poorly sharpened. , felt like chewing gum. The service wants to sell a lot, not customer friendly.

Highly recommended if you want to eat pizza cheaply.

Cozy place, friendly and quick waiters. Good food. To return

Beautiful location right on the lake, especially enjoyable in the evening sun. Unfortunately, the cook seems to have changed. We always enjoyed eating pizza here and were very satisfied, but unfortunately the pizzas yesterday didn't work at all. Bland and far too many toppings, and not long enough in the oven for my taste. But for the nice service and the great location there are 3 stars.

Never again in life. We went to this restaurant for a birthday (organised with weeks' notice, 30 people). 8.00 pm, we didn't even have time to be seated before the waitress warned us that the kitchen would be closed at 10.00 pm and therefore we had to order everything immediately (and already then why are you taking 30 people at 8.00 pm in the evening?). I don't think I've ever seen such rude and rude staff. Many people ordered beef tartare there and once we finished the toast we asked for more. They didn't want to bring it to us because they warned us that we would have to order everything immediately. As if one had to predict how much bread to eat in order to save it for the whole tartare. Spaghetti with seafood suggested to us as "their best dish", tasteless and chewy, the beef tartare was brought to you practically without any type of seasoning (dry and tasteless) and you were the one who had to season it. The initial aperitif with some appetizers was better if I brought it from home, especially for the pectinata that we received at the time of the bill. Nothing worked, embarrassing place.

Very bad cuisine! The prawns are served on pre-bought lettuce with a tasteless cocktail sauce. The spaghetti is fine. The mussels are cooked way too long and are like chewing gum. The sauce only has heat but no taste. My partner's mixed salad was drowned in vinegar. The bread old and dry. The service was okay. Conclusion: if you want good food, you should go somewhere else.

Always well received and the food excellent, the mushroom risotto this lunch was perfect

Great location on the lake, but 9 francs for a bottle of mineral water is steep even for Switzerland

Nice terrace, friendly staff. Apart from this it is a typical restaurant for tourists. High prices for the quality of the food offered. Little choice for those who don't want to eat pizza. The fried seafood was little varied and not cooked, rubbery. Hard dumplings .spring roll nothing special. The savory dish is not of high quality, although it is nice to look at. On the other hand, the bread served is excellent, half white and half charcoal. None of us tried dessert.

Just renovated with a very nice veranda

Good selection of dishes. Friendly staff, very fine cuisine 👌

Perfect. VERY good service! Thank you very much. We'd love to come back.

Nice restaurant, directly on the lake, the food is very good and it is accessible to wheelchairs. Recommended to everyone.

Good pizza, great location right on the lake, nice pergola

Beautiful location, you're right on the lake. The food is ok and the price/performance ratio isn't bad either.

Eating and drinking very well. It was a pleasure

Ate very good game at a fair price.

Beautiful view of the Gulf of Locarno, good food and nice service.

Ordered pizza. It's fairly big and easy to share with another person. The gnocchi was also very good. The wait staff were promt to sit us down and spoke German and Italian.

Ambiance and food (Saltimboca with rice) excellent! We recommend !

No frills, just good food. Lightning-fast service and if anyone is annoyed by the prices, we're in Switzerland, damn it, and everything is expensive there

Ate the worst cordon bleu of my life Poor breading bad quality cheese. And once again I return home Regretful of having gone out to eat Money wasted

Very good price performance. I had Fritto Misto di Mare, my wife had pizza, all very good. But be very hungry. Service very good and quick.

I went to eat with my wife and we had a fried seafood and a fried lake. Both almost inedible, not crunchy and chewy. When the waiter asked us if everything was okay, we expressed our disappointment about the fried food. At that point he left. We paid the bill, full, without getting dessert and coffee. Sin.

We ate several dishes from the menu and they were all very good. Very welcoming staff I recommend this restaurant

Nice place, and the food is good

great food and great service 👍🤗

Great location directly above the water. Friendly service. Food was average. Parking nearby at the municipal parking lot, also on the coast.

Good service and food. Very nice location.

Unfortunately not as good as before. Service only came when you called. Unfortunately, the food was bland... canned mushrooms are not an option.

The covered terrace is beautiful. Excellent service and dishes

The waiter was very kind and made jokes, they make pizza at all hours... even at 4pm, in short, nice..

The first, the only and the last time. 2 adults order 2 pizzas and a large water. The two children were not very hungry and would eat a small piece each, if at all. The waitress asks if she should bring two more plates. Which she then added to the bill with 2.00 each. Otherwise, unfriendly service, like the pizza. Dough with canned tomatoes and mozzarella. We like to eat dessert somewhere else.

Great location with a beautiful lake view right on the water. Of the 2 menus we ordered, one (hocks with saffron risotto) was really very good, the second (perch fillets in batter, fried a little oily with few vegetables) was still OK. Waiters friendly (if you are friendly yourself...). But I can imagine that when the weather is nice, the service can be difficult with so many tables... (this could explain some of the bad reviews here). I would eat here again.

A quality pizzeria where you will not fail to taste good quality food in front of a breathtaking view of Lake Maggiore and the mountains. The service is fast and efficient (15 minutes to be served) and the staff, in addition to being very pleasant, are dynamic and professional. A great experience that earned it its 5 stars in the industry.

Very nice restaurant, great terrace with a direct view of Lake Maggiore. Very good fresh pizza and seasonal salads. Pleasant prices. Jetty for boats and departure of boat taxi. The only downside is no parking nearby. Otherwise recommended.

Nice service, mixed salad ok but with cheap ready-made salad dressing too expensive for tomato salad..

Never again!!! Poor service (you need a lot of patience and forbearance…); Food is hard to beat (burger returned twice (1x charred, 1x raw), pizza unsalted and old sardines yuck!), boss didn't apologize in any way and charged the full price.

Always happy with the fine pizzas. Nice location by the lake

Great discovery during our stay in Ticino.

The food is excellent and recommended

Very good cuisine and friendly staff... eat on the balcony with a fabulous lake view

Best location on the lake, friendly and good food!

Super cute little pizzaria at the ship pier... The pizzas are probably the best we've eaten in a long time...! We recommend... A short boat trip from Locarno...

Excellent location, decent food, price.....😨😨😨😨

Terrible! I had spaghetti with clams which had no flavour. It was boiled pasta with broth on the base. My partner had spaghetti with seafood which was actually in sauce with some obviously frozen fruit.

Wonderful view and very nice service but the pizza was rather mediocre. Unfortunately, pizza funghi with canned mushrooms is not possible!

Very attentive service. The poor woman had to walk around with a mask in the heat. The food was very fine and plentiful. Casual on the lakeshore

Simply wonderful, well eaten and enjoyed good wine ❗❗👍 the service was very friendly 😊 and good ❗❗ can only be recommended

The location is beautiful, directly overlooking the lake. However, I advise against eating spaghetti with clams and seafood. Unfortunately not done to perfection by the current kitchen staff.

Schneller und sehr freundlicher service

Very friendly and fast service. Excellent food. And, last but not least: very nice location. Recommended!

Very welcoming, simple, clean Lake view that touches the emotions Menu at the entrance with more than affordable prices All the staff welcoming, kind and helpful I love it

gute Pizza freundliche Bedienung, was will man mehr
