Ticino cuisine at its finest

The crème de la crème of culinary pleasures

Local cuisine with an international touch. Legendary Ticino hospitality, paired with its unique cuisine, makes for a one-of-a-kind culinary experience. Sweet and savoury, hearty and traditional, light and modern – in short: incomparable!

To make your taste buds tingle, we serve only selected highlights from Ticino cuisine, inspired by tradition, but with a modern twist. How about a chestnut-based dish, one of the region’s classics, or a Venetian risotto?

A nocino at the end of your meal is a must, of course. This classic digestif looks back on a long tradition and is popular in the Italian regions of Emilia-Romagna, Campania and Calabria as well as in the Swiss Ticino. It is made from unripe, green walnuts and has a characteristic, dark-brown colour.
