Ristorante Pizzeria Locarno In Santa maria maggiore

We had a good time, welcoming environment, the only problem was the starter was good but the bread used for the croutons was too dry and inedible, otherwise good,

The Locarno Restaurant, located in the heart of Santa Maria Maggiore, is a culinary point of reference that becomes even more special during the famous Pumpkin Festival, one of the most loved events in the village. This restaurant stands out for its welcoming environment and its cuisine that celebrates the traditional flavors of the Vigezzo Valley. During the Pumpkin Festival, the Locarno Restaurant offers a menu enriched with seasonal pumpkin-based dishes. In fact, I chose a mixed appetizer with fried gnocco, a plate of pumpkin gnocchi with raw Vigezzino and Toma fondue and a polenta with pumpkin and zola. The restaurant offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for immersing yourself in the festive atmosphere of the country. The kindness of the staff and attention to detail make the gastronomic experience even more pleasant. We had to wait a while before being served, even though we had booked in advance, but I think this was due to the event itself which puts a lot of pressure on the staff. It was a pleasant experience, the place is welcoming and clean; the prices are very competitive and the portions generous. Overall, it's a place I recommend!

Recommended for a lunch stop in Santa Maria Maggiore. We stopped along the foliage train route to Locarno. In the center, therefore not far from the station, next to the church of S. Maria Assunta and the Chimney Sweep Museum. Excellent quality/price ratio. The choice of dishes is decent. Courteous and efficient service. A beautiful and good experience

Welcoming and attentive staff even for the little ones. Great food.

Good food, but the mushrooms were too peppery.

My friends and I went for lunch during the Santa Maria Maggiore Christmas markets scheduled for last week and we stopped for lunch in this restaurant. We had booked in advance because we knew it would be busy but we were hoping for a better experience. The owners and waiters, probably under pressure from the event, were rather disorganized and made some oversights. The dishes offered were linked to the event and personally my choice was discreet, nothing more. The restaurant is very characteristic and for this reason it deserves particularly and certainly the ingredients used were fresh and typical. Despite some difficulties related to the management of the event, I appreciate the atmosphere of the place and the quality of the ingredients. I am sure that in a less chaotic moment the experience may be more pleasant.

Great experience, I will gladly return! ❤️Very kind waiter (Josef)☺️
