Ristorante Sensi — Restaurant in Circolo di Locarno

Very delicious Beyond Burger, but that's it already

We decided to go to that restaurant as it looked like there were some vegan options available (based on the menu card outside). But when we had a closer look at the menu card we soon realized that besides salad and the beyond burger no other vegan options were available. The beyond burger was very good, but we were quite disappointed of the fact that there are several vegetarian options which could be veganized very easy (by leaving away some cream in a soup or some eggs in pasta etc.). But as this stuff has already been prepared it is not possible to order it without the cream etc. For some options I do not even understand why there are eggs or milk in it as that is not the typical Italian style so why not just prepare it without the non-vegan ingredients and add them at thr end if someone wants them to have it... So it was okey but could be done better as they would know how to cook tasty food

Mostly bothered us, that the staff was no super friendly about our questions and I honestly feel that a high end Italian restaurant could do better than a beyond burger when it comes to food intolerances etc. most Italian restaurants I have been (and which are cheaper) were more flexible in...

I’ve been here twice. Once a few years ago and again recently. A few years ago I remember leaving disappointed. When I left again recently I was also disappointed and it mostly came down to service. While the wait staff was nice, their speed and quality made it hard to enjoy. We ordered a nice bottle of wine which was opened for us and tasted very nice when we tried it. When I asked for another glass (which took 20 min to request after our glass was already empty) the bottle was clearly more full than what was poured. The wine also tasted different — as though it was a different bottle or even a different wine. When I asked how much wine was left in our bottle, it was clear that they had just been swapping in bottled. They then came and poured a small carafe for us and said this is what’s left. When you order a bottle of wine, it’s a luxury and you’re hoping for a nice experience to go with it. This experience left a bad taste in our mouths. And when we finally tried to get out of the restaurant, it took 30 min to get the check. The food was ok, but the menu isn’t anything original or special. We really wanted to like Sensi. If we were to come back, we would choose one of the many other Italian restaurants...

Visited for lunch and was really let down by the quality of the meals we had. The location, service and overall timeliness iwas great. Food quality is shocking. We ordered basic penne pomodoro for our 4 year old, and what we received was akin to penne in canned tomato soup. My wife ordered the carbonara and again was average. I had the cesar salad with bbq chicken and pea soup. Salad was okay, but pea soup was quite watery and could have been made better. From the looks of it, it’s a tourist trap as I hardly noticed or saw any locals there. For the price, we think the quality is not worth it. Sadly, the food did not compare to any meals we’ve had in other towns along the lake like Stresa and Verbania which have been...
