Nestled in the quaint medieval village of Vico Morcote overlooking Lake Lugano, Ristorante La Sorgente welcomes curious visitors in search of a local, fine-dining experience.
An authentic cuisine awaits those who discover this hidden gem. First and foremost, at the core of Chef Francesco Sangalli’s vision are high-quality, local ingredients produced by small scale farmers. He then enhances these local products with his unique cooking techniques: open flame, charcoal, and smoking. The result is haute cuisine that embraces sustainability, environmental consciousness, and modernity.
The menu is curated in the pursuit of seasonality and embracing the availability of indigenous ingredients. Chef Sangalli draws inspiration from these regional products and pays respect to the farmers who cultivate them.
Offering an intimate atmosphere inside this historic villa, the two dens can host up to twenty guests, while others can be accommodated outside on the stone terrace with stunning lake views. This inviting property is a 17th-century patrician building, recently transformed into a charming, boutique hotel.
La Sorgente: a small restaurant, filled with dedication, innovation, and passion. All elements which go hand in hand with the carefully crafted, organic wines from the family-owned wine estate, Tenuta Castello di Morcote. It is a lifestyle experience combining distinguished wines with elevated gastronomy.
