"We were recommended this restaurant by a local and the pilgrimage to get there up windy road was one thing, when we arrived. the welcome wasn’t exactly great, even though we had booked. They appeared quite busy, and we were shown to our table of two, the menu was in Italian fine . My wife had to translated as she’s Italian, we ordered an antipasto for two, which came to separate plates, so one plate was actually enough waitress could of mentioned , some local cold meats and some funny tasting buckwheat fritters vegetarian not to my taste … My main was lamb rack with fried potatoes apparently grilled vege appeared frozen … lamb was nothing special and you could of been anywhere in world with rustic presentation… wife didn’t order main course . I was still hungry and ordered ‘deer ragu pasta’… was okay a tomato-less bolognese style. Tiramisu for dessert… plate was cold, so obviously those were pre-made and stored in fridge ready for service… 64:50€ for nothing special… Personally, I don’t know how they are number three on TripAdvisor rankings for this local place, and I certainly w,ouldn’t make the pilgrimage to this restaurant but everyone has an opinion… Service wasn’t great either and Waitress appeared disinterested, with zero customer service. The annoying thing for me, a lot of the customers were having steak tartare which wasn’t on the menu. Apparently you have to pre-order so personally I thought that was wrong."

"This place is not in the city center. It is only a 8 min walk. It is for locals. The service was excellent. They spoke English and the pizza and pasta were perfect. If u find yourself in this part of the world. You should visit this place."

"I was excited to have lunch in Italy on a quick layover with the Bernina Express. I put a lot of effort into walking around to find a special restaurant for my only meal in Italy on my vacation I mostly spent in Switzerland. I have been to Italy several times before; however, for an American, a meal in Italy is a big deal when it has been years. How I wish I had more time to research and selected some place else. Though it looks very charming from the street and still somewhat charming in the immediate entry, the main dining rooms are nothing special with not much of a view, mostly obstructed what view there is, and a large fish tank in the middle of one room. The food and wine was very average, though the price was good in my opinon, having just arrived from Switzerland only about $30 for a glass of local wine, desert, local pasta and large bottle of sparkling water. Honestly, I can get much better Italian food and wine in the U.S. in top cities. I seemed to be the only non local there. I rarely take the time to write negative reviews unless I feel I have had an unacceptable experience. My short time in Italy and lunch left a very bad taste in my mouth due to the young, awkward, and unprofessional Italian waiter. When I nicely asked in Italian that I preferred to have a glass of wine that was local, he suggested something off menu. Not wanting to be surprised with a glass of wine more than I wanted to pay, I asked for the price. He mocked me laughing in a condescending way don 't ask the price , and continued to walk around the dining room shouting loudly don 't ask the price . I was offended but took the high road and said nothing, refusing to sink to his low level. I wish I had the other male waiter for my entire meal who clearly was not Italian and had seated me and was very nice, but this restaurant seems to have a practice of not assigning a waiter to the table, and switching them around throughout the meal. Disappointing. His loss, I would have left a American price tip if he had been professional and nice."

"Very happy dining here with my family of four. Gorgeous setting in the internal courtyard of a two story, very old stone building with tonnes of character (moss on the stone etc . The food is locally sourced, regional specialities with interesting options (buckwheat pasta with duck ragu, venison multiple ways , but there are enough gorgeous, simple dishes to keep fussy kids happy (home made spinach and ricotta ravioli with butter and sage, vegetarian lasagna, spaghetti with ragu etc. . The waiters are passionate about locally sourced produce. Even though they have a cellar stocked with 200 or so wine choices, they seemed disappointed that we did not initially order the local wine (a dry white blend of three grape varieties , so we changed our order and were very pleased with the wine. Very tasty food. Waiters speak Italian, German and English (at least . Highly recommended!!!"

"Excellent dinner with typical products of Valtellina, in particular the really good lazzoccheri, a pleasant surprise never having tasted them. Red wine of the perfect Valtellina, however the glass was less full than the glass I usually drink, but this did not remove anything to the taste The price conforms to the menu, just and not expensive. Atmosphere of the charming place in a period building."
