“ The food was really good, we had the sciat (cheeseballs) with bresaola , the bluebeery pasta with cheese and the pasta with deer meat. The staff was also friendly. In the end we got some nice liquors to try, the laurel liquor was super good. I think it's good to book a table in advance, because we arrived when it opened and i think we got lucky to have a table ”

“ Absolutely great place! Food was delicious, and portions huge and everything in a low price. Wine of the house is just amazing, I’d be more than happy to get it in bottles and bring it home with me :) People working there are just the nicest. I regret we found this place on the last day of our trip, otherwise we would visit it everyday. I will definitely come back when visiting Italy next time! ”
“ It was a wonderful stop for a lunch on the way to the mountains. Lunch menu (15€/pax) offers various pasta and meats,water, wine, desert and digestive. Busy during lunch hours, so expect to wait for some time. Not a fancy dining place with a lake view,but adorable rustic osteria with a seasonal terrace. ”
“ This nice restaurant is located in the woods but offered many parkings. We went in for late lunch. A friendly young lady greeted us and we were seated quickly by another gentleman. There was no lunch menu. He told us the options we could have for first and second courses. To try different things I ordered salmon with cream pasta and my husband arrabbiata; for second course sausage & potatoes salad and raw meat and rocket, parmigiano salad. The delicious pastas came quickly with the steam and the house red wine was very good. We waited not long for the second course, and were not disappointed: sausage and the potatoes salad is good combination; and the meat with salad is really fresh and good quality! After that we were offered pudding and cake as dessert then followed by coffee and 3 kinds of after meal liquor- all tasty. The staffs were very polite and friendly, service is very quick. Best of all, with the 3 courses meal with good wine we had, we only paid €30! What a pleasant surprise, we would recommend anyone to come for a nice meal here. ”
