The food came out really fast, which means it was already cooked before we got there and rapidly heated (or kept warm). The ratatouille was very greasy with way too much oil, about a centimeter in the bottom of the bowl. Not the worst meal I ever had, but not worth 80 euros for two meals. The glass of wine was also terrible. I think because this place is on the main tourist walk they get business without having to try. Unfortunately, we regretted eating there as I didn't finish the food, and was hungry soon after.

The blue cheese added a very subtle flavor typical of this cheese. With the snails, we enjoyed a local sparkling wine. For the main course, I had hare with polenta. The hare was served with a light white‑wine jus, which was a delight together with the polenta. We paired it with a Barolo. The service was attentive, fast, and competent. It was a great feast! My table companion, himself a grappa aficionado, found the grappa selection a little limited, but this is a minor detail. I can definitely recommend L’Osteria Aosta.

What made the experience worse was the staff — especially the guy at reception, who was extremely rude and unwelcoming. There are far better options in the area. I would recommend staying away.

The only complaint is that the tables have an edge all around that make it impossible to sit with your legs together and fit under the table, if that makes sense. Our kids are fine, but the adults can’t sit up properly. I still highly recommend this restaurant, just try to get a table without the skirt/lip.
