My passion for cooking began in my childhood, when I spent my holidays in the Grisons and enjoyed exploring every corner of my grandparents' hotel.
My restaurant is a blend of Italian and French taste, emphasizing quality. This quality starts with the selection of products, all fresh and of the highest quality. I offer a light cuisine, without altering the ingredients and flavors. Our menu is entirely replaced at the beginning of each season, and the tasting menu is renewed every month.
Awards
The Locanda Orico restaurant has been awarded a Michelin star and scored 16/20 points in Gault & Millau (Rising Star of the Year 2003). In 2021, it received the Swiss Culinary Merit Award. It is also well-regarded in other guides such as La Suisse Gourmande and Le Guide Bleu. Additionally, it is a member of Les Grandes Tables de Suisse, San Pellegrino Sapori Ticino, Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, and Commanderie des Cordons Bleus de France.
The Master Behind the Flavors: Chef Lorenzo Albrici
I had the fortune of assisting the brigade at Frédy Girardet's restaurant.
My name is Lorenzo Albrici, and since 1998, I have worked as the owner and chef at the Locanda Orico restaurant. I spent several years working as a cook, during winter seasons in the kitchens of large hotels in Engadin and during summer seasons in major hotels in other Swiss cities.
The Wine Cellar
The Locanda Orico restaurant offers a cellar with many labels of fine wines, including the best selection of local and international wines.
Our professional sommeliers will be happy to advise you and meet your every need.
We also have an excellent selection of half-bottles, and you can also ask to pair your menus with wine by the glass. We also offer you the option to take home any wine that is not entirely consumed during dinner. Feel free to ask our staff, who will gladly prepare a takeout package for you.
Interiors
The restaurant has two independent, well-kept, and elegant rooms, with soft lighting and exposed beams on the ceilings. In the large room on the right, there are six tables accommodating a maximum of 21 people. In the smaller room on the left, there are four tables for a maximum of 10 people. The rooms can be reserved individually for your special occasions.
Banquets
The two rooms can accommodate up to a maximum of 40 people (in the large room, up to a maximum of 28, and in the small room, up to a maximum of 12). For any reservations, even for a smaller number, do not hesitate to contact the restaurant.

Das Essen ist excellent im Geschmack und in Komposition mit den Beilagen. Der Service ist sehr freundlich und sehr aufmerksam. Die Weinkarte ist perfekt für die Begleitung des hervorragenden Essens. Ein stilvolles Ambiente, ohne Schnickschnack aber sehr schön. Wir kommen wieder 👌🏻

Excellent restaurant, located in the historic city center, pleasant atmosphere, attentive service, and good quality food—as you would expect from a one-Michelin starred restaurant. We had lunch there. A good price-quality ratio. Excellent wine choices.
Recommended for a relaxed, animated lunch when on a one-day trip to Bellinzona.

I contacted the restaurant almost one week before my reservation and never got any reply.... Not very professional behaviour.
PS: you still get an email stating "this reservation becomes valid after our confirmation"

Un grand merci à toute l’équipe pour un délicieux dîner d’anniversaire hier soir ! Pas facile de gérer une table de 10 dont pas mal de personnes âgées et tout a été parfait. Nous avons tous pris le menu dégustation, un délice du début à la fin. Les portions de la taille idéale, de l’originalité où il faut et beaucoup de finesse. Je n’ai jamais été déçue à la Locanda Orico et j’y retournerai avec beaucoup de plaisir.
