A Hidden Gem in Osteno - Osteria de Cin Our family discovered the Osteria de Cin during our holiday, turning our stay in Osteno into a delightful culinary journey. This enchanting restaurant charmed us with its captivating ambience, exceptional hospitality, and masterful cuisine. Our host, who effortlessly doubled as our waiter, enriched our experience with his endearing storytelling about the establishment, painting a vibrant backdrop that perfectly set the tone for our evening. His in-depth knowledge of food and drink was particularly commendable. Upon discovering our love for wines, he recommended an exquisite Italian wine - the 2015 Rosso Di Marco by Marco Conati. It was an impeccable pairing that wonderfully complemented our dishes, enhancing the dining experience manifold. At the helm of the kitchen, a remarkably talented chef crafted a menu that was nothing short of culinary poetry. From the Smoked Beef Carpaccio with truffles and wild berries to the Salmon Tartare with Stracciatella and Avocado, each dish was a symphony of flavours that tantalised our palates. The Steak of Dry-Aged Beef deserves a special mention for its masterful execution and depth of flavour. Dessert was the grand finale, with each creation hitting the right sweet notes. The standout was the Shortcrust Pastry with Custard and Berries, a decadent treat that masterfully balanced sweetness and tartness. The restaurant's family-friendly ambiance added to our delightful experience. Each member of our family, from the youngest to the oldest, felt welcomed and thoroughly enjoyed their time. It was heartening to see a place that caters so thoughtfully to every age group. Osteria de Cin is a jewel nestled in the heart of Osteno. It transcends being just a restaurant to offer an unforgettable experience that embodies the spirit of 'home'. This hidden gem, with its exceptional food, wine, and heartwarming hospitality, is well worth the detour. We look forward to our next visit, eager to once again savour the gastronomic delights of Osteria de Cin - a perfect blend of Italian culinary excellence and hospitality.

Lovely time at Osteria de Cin. Stopped by for a dinner date, and really enjoyed it. The service was outstanding and it accompanied some great good. Prices are great, especially compared to the nearby Swiss restaurants. Highly suggested if you're around lake Lugano!

Absolutely delicious food, every course was amazing as well as the complimentary homemade focaccia. Large cocktails as well. We visited on accident during the world finals in football, so we were the only people there. Staff was super nice and friendly, prices are very fair for what you get. Highly recommend!

This restaurant was truly a delight. The food was amazing and so fresh. I loved every dish I ordered, the ingredients were perfectly cooked and the fruit was so sweet and delicious. Our waiter was a friendly and very attentive. The entire staff was warm and welcoming. The prices were fair and well worth the quality and size! I wish I wasn't a tourist so I could come back! This was a great place to end my last night in Italy. Also a few things to mention, it had a beautiful view, parking spots in front of the restaurant, the waiter spoke English, and the menus had English as well. A hidden gem and truly deserving of 5 stars 🤩 In case anyone is interested I ordered the Tagliatelle fatte in casa al tartufo, Trancio di salmone, and Dolcezza al bicchiere.

A dining experience perfect in every way. The couple who have opened this place at what turned out to be the start of the pandemic have hung in there and poured their incredible passion into every aspect of it. The food was impeccable; interesting, perfectly cooked, and wonderfully presented, while the service was friendly, engaging, and just right. It is a in a small village at the end of a winding road and worth any effort you make in getting there....

Spontaneously we decided last night to drop in at this place. We discovered that the place had reopened with a new owner a few weeks before we turned up. The food was divine and the service exceptional at very realistic prices. Thank you for the wonderful evening.

Excellent, carefully prepared and well presented food with fresh, high quality ingredients. Modern cuisine. Varied yet focused menu. Pleasant, welcoming ambience. Friendly, attentive service. Well-behaved (I.e. restaurant-trained) dogs allowed. Overall a very positive experience in an old-town setting.

★★★☆☆ Modern Italian nouvelle cuisine, dishes are reimagined and deconstructed, with a nice presentation. Some ideas work, others feel more conceptual than satisfying. Service is excellent: friendly, and professional. Overall, a creative dining experience may be worth trying once, especially if you enjoy culinary experimentation over tradition. Portions are small keeping with nouvelle cuisine standards .

Came for dinner 03.09.24 The place is very cute and cozy. The staff is very nice and attentive. It seems as if they only have the highest quality ingredients. It pains me a little to say that the flavor was a bit underwhelming. Food pairings were quite good, but lack of salt and seasoning held back almost everything we had. The octopus main was perfectly cooked. Like really perfectly cooked- anyone that knows octopus knows the margin for error is very small if you wish for a perfect texture. They absolutely crushed it. Again here carrot puree was low on flavor and dragged the dish down. The daily dessert if I remember correctly was a pear and cognac pie/ pastry . The filling was very good, but the crust/ base was amateurish on a good day. Creme brulee was very well done and quite flavorful. By upscale dining I consider quality, service, atmosphere, food pairings and ultimately flavor.(Presentation is not so important) 3/5 But would give it a shot next season when we are back in Osteno
