"Booked for 2 people for 21 hours as there was no place, but we waited an hour and 15 minutes to eat a salad and a sandwich. I understand that since Saturday night there were so many people, but if the kitchen is not there, you can keep up, take less customers and serve them in suitable times. However the quality of food always excellent. Turns out all that wait ruined the evening. I'll be back in the week and not Saturday night."

"One of the greatest merits of the managers of the Puppola is to have brought in Valsassina what before was not: the Tuscan cuisine, in Moggio, then, here in Barzio, the quality cocks and burgers made with meat of Chianina breed. In both cases the restaurants have been rashly located at frequent recreational/ sports. Also a third place, which I promise to try next, was opened in Varenna in a highly panoramic position, evident fruit of an accurate choice. Here we came in the wake of the previous experiences at the Puppola di Moggio (currently called Taverna Pane and Wine not to confuse it with the new premises) but above all because my wife was attracted by the ****, that middle way between a chick and a chicken that, like the least young will remember, until mid-1980s was called “amburghese” by the company that raised them in Valchiavenna. Following a trade dispute, the producer had to change the denomination in Galletto Vallespluga, a brand that in a short time became equally well known thanks to a hammering advertising campaign. The “pollastrello” here served is the Galletto Vallespluga, whose popularity has become a reason for publicizing in the panel placed outside the restaurant. After having booked it, as necessary, the ****, served in a plate with multicoloured decorations, seems pleasant but it turns out a little dry and dry: it is the reason why I preferred to make a different choice, orienting me on the few alternatives proposed in this place. Indecident among the bruschettes and the burger, in the end I choose the latter without conviction, memorous of the mediocrity of the famous sandwiches of MacDonald. In fact, I was served an inviting high quality dish much higher than my expectations. The meat is excellent: good taste, perfect cooking, right amalgam with complementary ingredients and, surprise, even fries are not the usual frozen product, sometimes mal fried in recycled oil, but tasty potatoes cut into slices and fried to perfection. A good fiaschetto of Chianti a half liter accompanies the whole. In short, my impression is that the galletto is only advisable for lovers of the genus, while the Chianina meat burger is recommended to anyone, even if disappointed by the widespread and mediocre meat served everywhere. Sure, here you spend something more but it's worth it. The prices, also of the wines, are clearly displayed on the website: very appreciable, as well as the prohibition of entry for dogs that indispects some customers, but which is appreciated by the majority."

"Il ristorante 4 Stagioni lo frequento da oltre 20 anni. Sempre gli stessi proprietari. Da qualche tempo il servizio e molto migliorato e il cibo è veramente buono, come nei primi anni di gestione. Ottimi gli ingredienti e complimenti al cuoco. Viene offerta la più disparata gamma di scelta di prezzo e con piatti anche elaborati di ottimo livello. È in funzione inoltre la pizzeria con forno a legna, pizza molto buona e cotta divinamente."

"during the visit to a dear friend we had lunch in this restaurant. the environment is very simple and informal however perfectly inserted in the mountain territory that hosts it. at lunch they offer a fixed price menu that includes the first second dessert and coffee. you can choose from different dishes listed in the menu. I didn't want the first so I chose the bresaola with porcini, very good. On the other hand, we are in the realm of this dish! spaghetti with roe sauce and lace as for the excellent commensali. As well as the deer to juniper berries. my braised with medium polenta, well cooked but absolutely unsaturated. probably sauce was not allowed to dry enough. for me, a disappointment. frozen with good berries, tart like that. the very affordable price even if we ordered wine. very fast service, too. On the other hand, the place was full and they tell me that they are used to serving people working and therefore have little time."
