It was our first agritourism farm visit upon arriving in Cogne. Delicious dishes, typical of high mountain cuisine. Superb pasta, cheeses, and meats. It's ideal for spending several days and trying everything. We spent two days there during our six-day stay, and the staff's service was excellent and incredibly friendly. We'll be back very soon!

If I had to offer constructive criticism, I'd say I would have liked to see more choice or variety in the vegetable side dishes, and perhaps more attention to the seasonings (oil, vinegar, and salt). But these are minor details, because the service was excellent and fast. The dishes were truly delicious and very well-balanced. Special mention goes to the beef stew, which was excellent. Well done!

My son's pasta with sauce tasted like nothing; in fact, more than half a plate was left over. Tagliata with arugula and parmesan. The meat was cut the wrong way, so it was tough, but with a little effort I managed to eat it. Fondue with polenta was good (but Fontina cheese is known to be good to begin with). Breaded steak with fries for my other son. The steak was cooked very well, but the fries were soggy. The waiter was very friendly and always available, which is a plus...but you go to a restaurant to eat...so I'm very sorry.

The menu features traditional dishes from the Aosta Valley, carefully prepared. In addition to a delicious appetizer of tomini, cured meats, and local cheeses, we sampled the creamy and enveloping fondue, the rustic and flavorful soça, and the famous Cogne crema con le tegole, a traditional dessert that ended the dinner on a perfect note. The selection of Aosta Valley wines is extensive and well-cured. The Gamay we chose was a pleasant discovery: it paired perfectly with the dishes. Attentive, courteous, and professional service made the experience even more enjoyable. Excellent value for money. Our only small flaw: the room was a little cold.
