La Chiesa is directly the street from the Monte Bre Orselina out in Locarno-Monti. The entrance is right next to the Catholic Church:

Today was a wonderfully sunny day and gave us this magnificent views of Lake Maggiore, with the right of the image, the Brissago Islands:

We were
last September for the first time in La Chiesa. Even as I was absolutely thrilled and I decided that I would like there to go back. What I immediately noticed when entering the restaurant, was the bright and friendly atmosphere of Winter no trace, everything worked just as sunny and summery as early September. To this overall impression was partly due to the large windows that offer spectacular views of Lake Maggiore.

greeted us Claudio Borsoni When arriving, the friendly Padrone. He erkochte earlier in Porto Ronco for the San Martino 14 points in Gault Millau and has now also legitimately reached again for his own restaurant. He deserves this success more than.

As Amuse Bouche us a little fennel salad with smoked duck breast and red pepper was served:

as a starter had Gerhard (he was once again, as so often a repeat offender ordered and what he had already won at the last visit was: Tartare di Manzo e uovo Tues Quaglia al tegame con zupetta di patate e tartufo "Périgord" - Beef tartar and quail egg with potato soup and Périgord truffle

I chose from the menu of the day, the two starters, the first con Tonno rosso al pastrami insalatina asiatica e coriandro - pastrami and tuna with a small Asian salad with coriander

and then ravioli alla stufato Tues tacchino con Carote e asparagi verdi, homemade ravioli stuffed with turkey stew, served with carrots and green asparagus

as main course there was
Filetto di Rombo Selvatico, Tris di lenticchie, patate lesse e citronette al prezzemolo - turbot tomboy, Three kinds of lentils, potatoes and parsley pesto with lemon - perfect combination, perfect preparation

and because it was sooo good, I've got it right again photographed from the other side ...

So much perfectionism also challenges us. to conclude, contrary to our usual custom, a nice meal with espresso and Digestivo, we were well aware of our duty and our in-depth for once in the dessert menu. For Gerhard
there were plum sorbet with marinated plums mingled with Vieille Prune Fassbind (which he then subsequently also cost right back to the espresso)

Since I so totally am not the sweetness, gave it for me - as it turned out - excellent selection of Ticino and Italian cheeses, each with their selected to jam (such as chilli jam, fig chutney, truffle honey, etc. ...)

top right way, one of my favorite cheese: Testun al Barolo

Gerhard felt like Rose, I would have preferred white wine had, but was also curious about the Gran Rosé Guido Brivio, which I did not know and let me talk. A nice choice of the 2009 fresh, fruity and wonderful to my tuna and the ravioli. For cheese, I drank one (zwei. .. three ...) Sip Rosso 2009 Tenuta Cresperino by Bally & Teufenstein, delicious ... just delicious - I will again have

After looking up to this point have beaten most heroic there was a reward of espresso and grappa Guido Brivio

and now:

I'm ready!
