Ristorante Al Pozz — Restaurant in Circolo di Locarno

We visited this restaurant, drawn by its scenic lakeside setting and close proximity to tourist attractions. The service was friendly and accommodating, enhancing the overall pleasant atmosphere. However, the food was somewhat underwhelming. The menu featured plenty of standard tourist favorites such as pizza, pasta, gnocchi, polenta, risotto, and chicken with fries, but the quality was merely average. Although the food did not live up to the exceptional lakeside location, it remains a decent choice for those seeking to satisfy a craving for familiar dishes. Do not expect an exceptional culinary experience. The restaurant’s casual ambiance and menu clearly caters to tourists. It serves as a convenient spot for a quick bite near the water, but it's not the place for delving into local...

Don’t come to this restaurant. The waiters are very very racist. They treated you differently if you don’t look like them. Their service to our table are much slower than others. We asked for the cheese and they never brought it to us. I asked for the black rice and they served the white rice. We waited for 30 min and they didn’t bring us the check. We had to go in and pay by ourselves. The younger waiter looked at us like we were in their way and waved ONE finger to ask us to move away. The older waiter in blue shirt spoke something very rude and walked away without taking the card. He thought we didn’t understand what he said, but we did. This was the worst experience in Locarno, even in Switzerland. Shamed on this restaurant. NEVER COME TO THIS RESTAURANT, it will...

Pizza was excellent. The waitress couldn't speak english but her german was alright. She was incredibly friendly and payed attention to the ordering sequence (basic manners: women order first oldest to youngest then men also old-young). However there was one waiter who gave off really bad vibes. We thought he was stressed but yeah he almost banged someones plate infront of them on the table and didn't even apologize. (Mabye his girlfriend broke up with him earlier) Overall the place was worthy of 4 out of 5 stars. Keep in mind though that i have only visited...
