Nearly fifty years of tradition
Since 1976, Grotto Rialdo has welcomed its guests in an authentic corner of Campione d'Italia, where the aroma of the wood-fired grill mingles with the breeze from Lake Lugano.
Our recipes, handed down from generation to generation, tell the story of true Italian cuisine — from handmade pasta crafted by grandfather's own hands, to select cuts grilled over embers, to fresh fish from our lake.
Our grotto, with its wooden ceilings, stone walls and warm, welcoming atmosphere, is the place where the magic of Italian hospitality is renewed every evening.

Words from our guests
“The best pizza in Campione, without a doubt. The wood-fired oven makes all the difference. I've been coming here since 2005 and the quality has never dropped.”

“We discovered this grotto by chance and now we return every time we're at the lake. The handmade gnocchi are divine!”
