The Ticino stands for many things: the sun, granite and hydropower, but

also for a great variety of nature with long valleys and steep slopes,

grapes, chestnuts and palms. Such an ambience is found nowhere else in

Switzerland. The delicious Ticino dishes we serve you, usually comes

from local products. Again and again we are searching for something new

with the aim to surprise you, our dear guests.

At the Bellini Locanda Ticinese are these wonders of nature part of our

menu. We want to introduce unceasingly to you our Ticino roots, with

new aspects. Most of the Ticino producers we personally know and vouch

for originality and quality!

On our menu we always offer a variety of alp cheeses, well ripened

and ready for enjoyment. Try our exquisite "Robiei" from the Val Bavona

or the "Piora", the king of Ticino cheese from the Alp Piora,

made high above the Leventina.

Enjoy what we discover and prepare for you every day again and again

with our full conviction and enthusiasm!

Formaggio dell‘Alpe Piora does not only let the Ticino hearts beat

faster, he is considered as the king of Ticino cheese! We get it

every fall directly from the cellar of the producer.

Formaggio dell‘Alpe Robiei is produced way back in Val Bavona, a long

side valley of the Maggia Valley, where the Alpe Robiei is embedded in

the alpine mountains. It consists of 1/3 goat milk

and 2/3 cow's milk and impresses the roof of the mouth with its spiciness.

The loaves we pick each October directly from the producer.

Zincarlin della Valle di Muggio is produced by Maria Luce Valtulini in

Morbio Superiore. The cow cream cheese (Robiola) from raw milk is

enriched with cracked pepper, stored for two to three months and

washed repeatedly with white wine.

A true delicacy!

Meat and sausage specialties we obtain from Donato Mattioli in Lavorgo,

a small butcher who knows his craft by heart.

With meticulous attention they process the meat of pigs, cows,

goats, donkeys and make particular specialties

as "Salametto di capra or asinello"!

The Mortadella as well is a Ticino particularity and not to be mixed up

with the Bologna, Gottardo oltre known as Mortadella!

«Farina bona», the flour from roasted corn, is an ancient specialty of the

Onsernone Valley. Ilario Garbani saved this preservative system, before

the extinction, few years ago and provides the flour today as a small

producer in the traditional method. It reminds the taste of popcorn and

can be used for various dishes of gnocchi to ice cream.

Photographer, has portrayed our producers in expressive strong black

and white photographs. The context is the origin of our family, which

comes from Bellinzonese and Lucerne. Emigration and return were over

all generations’ part of the electric field. The more valuable meaning

have "get" and "create" business and friendly relations. You realize how

they foster mutual understanding and help to overcome sometimes

occurring melancholy...
