Grott dal Fuin

Nestled in nature, at the edge of a forest inhabited by martens, Grott dal Fuin is a corner of true Ticino tradition. Once a simple family grotto, where friends and relatives gathered around a plentiful table, it is now a place for anyone who wants to rediscover the genuine flavors of the past, wrapped in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

The story of this place is deeply rooted in conviviality: a well-stocked cellar, a fireplace always burning, and generous dishes were what made it special. Over time, those moments of gathering became more rare, and the Grotto fell into silence. But the desire to share is stronger than any pause, and thus came the idea to reopen this home to all those who love good food and the joy of being together.

Today, Grott dal Fuin is more alive than ever. Here you’ll find an honest and authentic cuisine, with dishes prepared using local ingredients and traditional Ticinese recipes. From slow-cooked braised meats to local cured meats, from steaming polenta to seasonal dishes such as game and oven-roasted kid, every course tells a story of passion and respect for the region’s gastronomy.

But the Grotto is not only about good food: it’s an experience. It’s the smile that greets you, the fireplace that warms the winter, and the blooming terrace that comes alive in spring. It’s the perfect place for those seeking a moment of peace away from the rush, where time seems to slow down, accompanied by a good glass of Ticino Merlot.

Whether you're a tourist in search of authenticity or a lover of tradition, Grott dal Fuin is waiting to offer you an experience that feels like home.
