Balmelli Cantinetta

Chef Alessandro Taddei

Located in the historic building on Via Sant Abbondio, Cantinetta Balmelli has been a symbol of tradition and hospitality since 1912.

Founded by Giovanni Balmelli and run with passion by his family for over a century, the restaurant has seen illustrious figures such as Hermann Hesse pass through its doors and hosted memorable events.

Today, Federico Haas and Alessandro Taddei carry on this legacy with enthusiasm, keeping history alive and introducing a new gastronomic cycle.

"Our Cüsina bona celebrates local flavors with a modern twist."
