"We were in the area and, by coincidence, found the restaurant situated behind the church. What we then experienced was just wonderful we sat outside on this summer evening, had something to drink and eat and just enjoyed the setting. Definitely a restaurant, we will go to again when in the area in the future."

This restaurant is simply divine. We visited on the evening of the 6th and I have to say that it proved to be one of the best all round places to eat in Ticino. My wife chose ossobuco and I chose the piri piri prawns which was apparently a speciality and they were offered as hot or as mild as you like. They were superb. We both selected sweets which were just perfection. The evening was rounded off with coffee and sweet meats which were to die for. The service was great attentive without being intrusive. Although we did not book we seemed to catch a quite evening so I would recommend making a reservation. The only downside to the evening which was not entirely the restaurants fault was the s...
We live in these parts and have been wanting to try La Chiesa for some time now. This 14 point Gault Millau restaurant is located in a beautifully restored church perched on the hillside overlooking Locarno. The Christmas menu included 4 courses (with amuse bouche starter) moist fish roulade with truffles, homemade al dente ravioli, juicy duck breast with a vegetable purée, and a nut roulade with homemade gelato to finish. Each dish was perfectly prepared, flavorful and pleasing to the eye. The wine list includes some interesting local choices, the service was friendly and attentive, the view spectacular. Worthy of its rating.
During our yearly sojourn in Ascona, this summer we went several times alone and with friends to our favourite restaurant in the area for lunch and dinner. The meals were always absolutely perfect, in taste and in presentation. We loved some of these mouthwatering combinations: i.e Insalata di polipo, finocchio, menta e frutta della passione con focaccia alle olive or Crèma Brûlée profumata con verbena al limone con pesca sciropata e gelato allo yogurt-limone I just want to add that this summer Mr. Borsoni found a way to solve the parking problem and from Thursday- Sunday evenings there is valet parking available.
We are faithful guests of La Chiesa since Mr. Claudio Borsoni opened his restaurant in this very special place. We have never been disappointed. As other reviewers state the food is outstanding and the view is beautiful. The only problem I see is the parking which in this area is reduced, especially in the evenings. But I highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner. P.S. I wrote a review of this restaurant last year, but for unknown reason tripadvisor did not publish it.
