Great restaurant in the city center (a little dated in case you’d mind that). Lovely owners, delicious Mediterranean food and if you feel like pizza you must try their 7 cereals dough!

Typical "ticinese" food. If you like meat, you have to try their "tartar" made at the table, you'll love it!

This is the smallest castle, where the “VIP” of that era used to live. You’ll find it special, especially because it has unforgettable views of Bellinzona ☺️ A restaurant and a museum are open during the summer.
