This very traditional old grotto in Ascona is no real insider tipp anymore. But you just get authentic, frank ticinese food. There is no menu but you will like what you get. Starts with Salami platter and bread, followed by a pasta course, then meat and mostly polenta then another course with local cheese. The desert is accompanied by either Nut Schnapps or a grappa…or two. The boss (minimum 80 years old) decides how much you pay in the end.
