Grotto San Michele

Outside table provides a magnificent view over the city and castles. When we were having a lunch, a big group of tourists showed up and took like 3 tables outside. After that we were almost forgotten by the waiter and the meals was served with a noticeable delay.

The view from here is breathtaking. Table service was great. All is the food we ordered was delicious. The olive oil they had was the best olive oil I've ever tasted. I would like to know where I can find it!

Great spot. Great food for a reasonable price being in Switzerland. Friendly staff.

Food and view were great. The waiter was kind of weird, he really didn't want us sitting outside for some reason, but overall a really nice place.

Beautiful view of Montebello castle from the Grotto terrace and into the distance past Mount Tamaro.

Beautiful place with a lovely terrace offering a panoramic view, good food, good wines, a most pleasant atmosphere to spend your time.

You pay for the view here, of course. The osso bucco was very tasty but just a tiny bit dry. Service was OK. Overall it does feel a bit overpriced but the view makes up for it mostly.

The staff, chef and location are without peer in Bellinzona. There is a story I would recommend any curious traveller to climb up to the castel grande to learn. Perhaps like us you will go away the better for the experience. Cold strawberry and tomato will never be better served. Tag!
