The Chef´s special proposal

Service: Norman Summa and Nicola Bufi
Kitchen: Chef Francesco Sangalli and Mattia Bacchiavini

Vegan and vegetarian options are always available.
For allergies and intolerances please contact our restaurant staff.

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
An intimate atmosphere, seating only about twenty guests.

This inviting property is a 17th-century patrician building, recently transformed into a charming, boutique hotel Relais Castello di Morcote.

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.
