RED Restaurant, Pollegio — Restaurant in Circolo di Giornico

After being out all day, we we looking for some quick good food (always a challenge) other than sausage and fries… being a true foodie. Searching restaurants while on route, I found restaurant Red, which had lots of seafood dishes… in Ticino? The pictures didn’t look attractive from google map’s and how could seafood be fresh here? As my hubby was tired of my research, we went for it. What a pleasant surprise!

Finalmente abbiamo trovato in Ticino il pesce cucinato ad hoc come in Romagna!😋😋 Si percepisce benissimo la passione di chi lavora con amore (chef e tutto lo staff)!💜

I dessert sono freschi e serviti con grande cura. Servizio impeccabile. Prezzi onestissimi e porzioni abbondanti. Comodo parcheggio gratuito. Grazie, torneremo molto volentieri! Consigliatissimo! P.s. il piatto di gnocchi è sbaffato perché mio marito non ha resistito, ha assaggiato prima...

The most delicious food and gracious serving staff. I highly recommend the Spaghetti ai frutti di mare, and the Maltagliati freschi alla boscaiola is to die for! My compliments to...
