Ristorante Contrada

super lemon cake, highly recommended. the personal is good liar, friendly and accommodating.

was here with the family. the service once ignored me in the beverage order. the food was average. my pizza margherita tasted fad and was quickly cold. I could hardly enjoy the sunny locarno here.

We had a lovely dinner sitting out in the Piazza. Had insalata caprese, melanzane pizza and risotto con asperigi. All the food and service was good. Prices are reasonable considering the prime location. Just wish they had a non-smoking section as the locals smoke a...lot.

we were not really enthusiasts of salat, spaghetti and fennelsalat. the service didn't appreciate it so that we wanted to drink only hahnenwasser for wein and that was 2 times at 35° we had a little thirsty. well, the location also makes the prices and not the good service and quality.

funny and set up operation, and this on a cold day in the oktober, on the terrace. spaghetti hot and delicious. I am happy if the obligate tomatenschnitz is missing. I'll take salate before. very recommended, here I was the first but not the last time. also the view of the piazza grande is to mention, there is always something going on.

We had lunch at the Ristorante Contrada in Locarno. It is located on the Piazza Grande. The restaurant has a nice selection of freshly made pasta. We chose the ones with porcini mushrooms which were very good. The fenel salad with parmesan was very refreshing. The torta della nonna as desert was excellent. We also had a small bottle of local Merlot which was excellent as well. Service was friendly but a little slow.

The whole area is a tourist trap – be warned! but like an oasis amongst that the Ristorante Contrada, delivers good food; excellent friendly service and attention to the small things that matter. Bringing extra side plates without being asked as they realised we were...sharing our meal between us, just one example The prices are what you would expect but the portions are very very generous, can’t fault the value for money They also do a lovely Dunkel beer! We went three times out of the week we stayed in Locarno and was consistently good each time

We visited the 'Contrada ' already last year and, based on that satisfactory experience we went again last Easter. There were not many tourists, the weather gorgeous and yet preferred to seat inside vs. the terrace under the arcade to enjoy more privacy. The staff is...professional and friendly, and while studying the menu we were surprised by the waiter 's suggestion to try the typical Easter Ticinese specialty, 'Gizzi (small goat) with backed potato wedges and vegetable ', and we did ... It was prepared and presented in the Ticinese original way of cooking, without paraphernalia, say, like my grandmother (blessed), did it already 50 years ago ... . It was the highlight of a pleasant Easter...

we were on Sunday 16. juni during the moon and stars in the ristorante contrada. first we were not considered although we stood there to get a table. since I just met a friend and so the waiter was in the way, he pushed me and discarded the hands and told me to leave. we then got a place, the drinks came promptly but on the pizza we waited 30 minutes. when then another person came to our group and waited again at a place where the waiter didn't fit, the same waiter reacted very annoyed again. to everything, we wanted to pay at the end of the day, and we were cut off to the point that we cannot pay individually. Why not? just because they just have stress and want to serve as many people as p...
