We were a group of 14, and were all very pleased with the quality of the food.You can find typical recipes here, and even the vegetarian options weren't limited to side dishes.The desserts, all made in-house, were really good!

Excellent home made cooking in a very small town up in the mountains. Limited choice but really worth the trip. Fixed price and you can eat and drink as much as you are up to!! Will come back to it

We didn’t had a chance to dine in because Pre-booking is necessary but we managed to have take away. The food was delicious specifically polenta. So amazingly delicious (and we eat polenta a lot) also ravioli was tasty. Because we stayed at a very close hotel it was only 5 min walk. Definitely we recommend but just book a table in advance if you don’t want to eat in your room.

We chooses this place based on google feedback, it took us 20 min to get there but it was worth it! Just take the whole tasting menu, it’s so delicious. Pizzocceri, lamb and deer highly recommend! Friendly and good service, we come here again definitely! PS the food was so good so I remembered to take a picture only by the dessert
