Food was so wonderful! We ordered a special steak (37€ each minimum2person) I can say it's a great one in my life, beef was very soft and tasty! Just a little bit things made me disappointed... The salt bottle was broken.. they should change if compare with the price we paid, The kids plate was dirty like never clean... they should check or control more. But anyway was great restaurant to recommend

Amazing discovery on our way from the Simplon pass to Italy. We wanted a nice Italian lunch and simply looked at what was open around the time we passed this place. How lucky to have discovered this place! Doesn’t look like much from the outside but was nice and comfy inside. They set a table for us at 2 pm and despite the language barrier (though one waitress kindly attempted to speak English) we ordered sone mixed starters and as mains tagliata di manzo, a pasta and prawns with Indian curry. All were hits, though we were a bit co fused with the rather sweet “contorni” (chestnuts, red cabbage and potato, all sweet!). We were also amused to receive two gin and tonics as digestifs, they went down very nicely! Great place.

Amazing food, amazing vibes and amazing people! This was the best Italian food that I ever had. I tried Tagliolini di pasta fresca with white truffle, my fiancé had the risotto with white truffle, we tried the Gamberi alla Catalana and the Chateaubriand with three sides of potatoes, chestnuts and caponata. And for the dessert an amazing coconut semifreddo. The waitress are so nice and always with a smile on their face, shout out to Samantha, for being very accommodating and professional! Carlo and Michela are the best! Can’t wait to come back again!

The cuisine is outstanding! The menu is very exciting, not the run of the mill Italian Trattoria style. The staff is really polite and friendly, even the chef came out to greet the guests frequently. We had the truffle- inspired dishes, as it is truffle season, and everything was exquisite!!

Found this randomly on google maps whilst en route to Switzerland and it turned out to be the best food of our trip! So good in fact we returned on the way back. Our highlights were the rabbit ragu and foie gras risotto. And the tiramisu! The staff were also delightful and it was child friendly with a highchair and baby change facilities. You can see why it is Michelin recommended… with stars coming soon! Thank you
