In the heart of Cresciano, Ristorante degli Amici offers authentic Ticino cuisine with local products and genuine flavors. From rösti and salametti to grills and Sri Lankan dishes, every visit is a journey through tradition and taste. Cozy, accessible, and surrounded by nature: the perfect spot after a hike or a canyoning day.

Welcome to Ristorante degli Amici in Cresciano, a place where Ticino cuisine meets authentic hospitality. In a warm setting immersed in nature, we offer a selection of dishes that celebrate tradition and the quality of local ingredients.

Among the starters, our local salametto and the rich Ticino mixed platter stand out. Follow with a first course made from top-quality ingredients, like our homemade gnocchi, and indulge in second courses with local meats or carefully selected fresh fish, also from Italy.

Our rösti are a must – crispy on the outside, soft on the inside – a symbol of Swiss tradition, served in different variations.

In summer, we light the grill to offer outdoor barbecues with ribs and other grilled specialties.

For those who love to travel through taste, we offer a special Sri Lankan menu with:

• Kotturotti, a typical, spicy street food

• Fried rice, stir-fried rice with vegetables or meat

• Mix noodles, with authentic Asian flavors
  Available by reservation for groups of at least 4 people.

The restaurant also offers take-away service: just order, pick up, and enjoy wherever you like.
