Ristorante La Palma — Restaurant in Circolo di Locarno

We found this gem of a restaurant as we travelled through northern Italy and southern Switzerland. This restaurant was particularly service-oriented, with impeccable food as well. The waitstaff (we had Melinda) were very friendly and could work in many different languages. The maitre d’ was charismatic and generous with his local knowledge. The food was quite fine, even by the standards of Europe. I had the ossobuco, which was great.

Overall, though, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a memorable meal and top-notch hospitality. I’ll...

Very poor service,average food

Family bond 7 with our parents,us and the children went there The place was empty which made us wonder if it was even open

-Extremely slow service ;30 min to get the children meals and the salads and almost an hour for the main courses with only bred in the table

We ordered what they said was the best seller(fiorentine meet);it was just ok and they got wrong the selection(well done for misión-well and viceversa)

Supervisor apologized saying because of the time he had only 1 person on the kitchen and offered limoncello ...350 CH for a slow service and average food without wine or desert..

The positive thing was the waitress,a very very nice girl;she e lobato es a lot with us...

Never...
