Osteria del Giardino - Morbio Inferiore

We went there several times and each time was a waisenkind! when they go donsdays, they can also speak English as a cook, from wales, helps to chat in tables, time and welcome the customers. delicious dinner for seven people and good wine. prices are good and not expensive!

This beautiful little *garden tavern is located in the heart of morbio inferiore, a village in the hills with views of mendrisio and chiasso, in the southern part of tessin near the border to italien. once surrounded by vineyards and other agricultural activities, is morbio inferiore. a residence for the affluent ticinesi in the nearby cities chiasso or mendrisio. the taverne is located in what was probably once an old residence, next to the main square, the village council building and the permanent village church. the discreet environment is therefore ideal for a romantic tête-à-tête, an dinner with friends or family, even why not? a lunch with colleagues or with customers. the menu is complete, with appetizers, appetizers, seconds and desserts. for everyone there is a selection of 4-6 dressed, all seasonal and all strictly homemade. over meat or other seasonal dishes there is a selection of polnta (a corn spring clip in tessin and northern Italy) served with the typical brasato' (copper roast,) funghi' (porcino mushroom) or a hearty piece of gogonzola cheese. vegetarians don't need care because the menu has several non-meat dishes. (the evening I went there they did not serve risotto, but I am quite sure that they do regularly, it is other basic food in the region together with polnta the weeping card is rich and in my opinion after well balanced between local weeping (ticino mainly produces red merlot) and Italian, even important red le grive (piedmont) or peppoli (a well-known chin). I had a starter and a main course, followed by dessert and a glass of local red. the parts are not large, neither small, therefore suitable for gourmet and for gourmet. if they are a gourmet, they can go with the full 3-course menu, plus dessert and still leave the place on their own two feet. if they are a gourmand, they can always be as for extra polnta. I will be this nice and friendly restaurant, where homemade cuisine is one of their brands, the others are the good service, well presented dishes, and the discrete rural with a modern twist atmosphere.

This lovely little *Garden Tavern" is located in the heart of Morbio Inferiore, a village situated in the hills overlooking Mendrisio and Chiasso, in the southern part of Ticino near the border with Italy. Once surrounded by vineyards and other agricultural activities, today Morbio Inferiore...is a residential suburb for the affluent ticinesi working in the nearby cities of Chiasso or Mendrisio. The tavern is in what presumably was once an ancient residential home, next to the main square, the village council building and the ever-present village church. The discrete setting is therefore ideal for a romantic tête-à-tête, a dinner with friends or family, even why not? a luncheon among colleagues or with clients. The menu is complete, with starters, firsts, seconds and desserts. For each, there is a choice of dishes, all seasonal and all rigorously homemade. For seconds, on top of meat or other seasonal dishes, there is a selection of polenta (a corn-flour staple in Ticino and northern Italy) served with the typical brasato (pot roast,) funghi (porcino mushrooms,) or a hearty slice of gorgonzola cheese. Vegetarians need not worry, as the menu has several non-meat dishes. (The evening I went there they didn't serve risotto, but I am quite sure they do on a regular basis, it being other staple food in the region together with polenta The wine card is rich and, in my opinion, well balanced between local wines (Ticino produces mainly red Merlot) and Italian ones, even important reds such as "Le Grive" (Piedmont) or Peppoli (a well-known chianti from Tuscany,) to name just two that caught my attention. I had a starter and a main course, followed by dessert and a glass of local red. The portions are not large, neither small, suitable therefore for the gourmet and for the gourmand alike. If you are a gourmet, you can go with the full meal, plus dessert, and still leave the place on your own two feet. If you're a gourmand, well, you can always as for extra polenta. I will certainly visit again this cute and friendly restaurant, where homemade cuisine is one of its trademarks, the others being the good service, well-presented dishes, and the discrete rural-with-a-modern-twist atmosphere

Immer köstlich! Ein Paar km von der Ausfahrt Chiasso, direkt hinten dem Rathaus in Morbio Inferiore. Alles superfrisch, gemütliche Osteria. Montags zu. Immer gern!

Meine Frau und ich waren am vergangenen Mittwoch zum zweiten Mal in dieser Osteria.Wieder ein Tisch im hinteren Raum, welcher etwas kühl war. Im Gastraum brannte ein wärmendes Feuer, doch hinten war davon nichts zu spüren.Nach einem Apéro entschied sich meine Frau für die Nudeln mit Braten. Das Bratenstück wäre, zerfasert in der Sauce, noch besser gewesen. Ich hatte die Leber-Pâté. Ein grosses Stück, farblich etwas grau, gut aber nicht super im Geschmack. Da gibt es im Piemont bessere Fasanen-Pâté.Der Hauptgang: Polenta mit Pilzen, hat meiner Frau sehr gemundet.Mein Hauptgang: Kaninchenstücke an Gemüsesauce mit Polenta.Die Polenta, aus dem Valle Muggio - sehr gut. Die Gemüsesauce hatte einen guten Geschmack, war aber nur lauwarm. Die Filetstückchen des Kaninchens waren etwas sehr trocken. Hätte mir das saftigere Fleisch aus den Schlegeln gewünscht.Ein Highlight, der Weisswein "Elsbeth", 2015, für Fr. 30.00 - ein Gedicht!Wie im Titel geschrieben, waren wir bei diesem Besuch leicht enttäuscht.
