restaurant tip ascona: ristorante borromeo
A true jewel in hospitality! Excellent food, amazing service and great ambiance. The Borromeo has become my favorite place in Ticino, it is like a homecoming when going out for dinner there.
The food is just divine, the pulpo salad, the veal, the risotto as well as the crema catalana. Quality comes first, they use only the freshest and finest ingredients for this truly amazing mediterranean cuisine. Even the espresso at the end is "real", a strong short shot, in contrary to the usual average machine espresso you get in Switzerland.
The people working there don't act like staff, they act like friends who detect absolutely all your needs and wishes - and this with the highest level of professionalism. This is rare, very rare, and not usual at all!
Go there, it is a must!
