The Ticino stands for many things: the sun, granite and hydropower, but also for a great variety of nature with long valleys and steep slopes, grapes, chestnuts and palms. Such an ambience is found nowhere else in Switzerland. The delicious Ticino dishes we serve you, usually comes from local products. Again and again we are searching for something new with the aim to surprise you, our dear guests. At the Bellini Locanda Ticinese are these wonders of nature part of our menu. We want to introduce unceasingly to you our Ticino roots, with new aspects. Most of the Ticino producers we personally know and vouch for originality and quality! On our menu we always offer a variety of alp cheeses, well ripened and ready for enjoyment. Try our exquisite "Robiei" from the Val Bavona or the "Piora", the king of Ticino cheese from the Alp Piora, made high above the Leventina. Enjoy what we discover and prepare for you every day again and again with our full conviction and enthusiasm! Cordialmente Family Pedrazzetti, Hoteliers and the entire team
FORMAGGIO TICINESE TICINO CHEESE Formaggio dell Alpe Piora does not only let the Ticino hearts beat faster, he is considered as the king of Ticino cheese! We get it every fall directly from the cellar of the producer. Formaggio dell Alpe Robiei is produced way back in Val Bavona, a long side valley of the Maggia Valley, where the Alpe Robiei is embedded in the alpine mountains. It consists of 1/3 goat milk and 2/3 cow's milk and impresses the roof of the mouth with its spiciness. The loaves we pick each October directly from the producer. Zincarlin della Valle di Muggio is produced by Maria Luce Valtulini in Morbio Superiore. The cow cream cheese (Robiola) from raw milk is enriched with cracked pepper, stored for two to three months and washed repeatedly with white wine. A true delicacy! SALAMETTI MORTADELLA LUGANIGHE LUGANIGHETTE Meat and sausage specialties we obtain from Donato Mattioli in Lavorgo, a small butcher who knows his craft by heart. With meticulous attention they process the meat of pigs, cows, goats, donkeys and make particular specialties as "Salametto di capra or asinello"! The Mortadella as well is a Ticino particularity and not to be mixed up with the Bologna, Gottardo oltre known as Mortadella! FARINA BONA «Farina bona», the flour from roasted corn, is an ancient specialty of the Onsernone Valley. Ilario Garbani saved this preservative system, before the extinction, few years ago and provides the flour today as a small producer in the traditional method. It reminds the taste of popcorn and can be used for various dishes of gnocchi to ice cream.
