Four of us had the 3 course Menu and thought it was excellent value for money. I have been toItalian Restaurants in UK which have been a complete rip off for very simple Italian dishes. Personally, I had a gnocchi starter, my main was Carpaccio with paper thin slices of apple and a choice of mixed salad, green beans or chickpeas as an accompaniment and then a lovely Panacotta with honey and thyme for afters, washed down with two litres of red wine (between four of us) I think that was excellent value for a €15 Menu. We were also given tap water for free (often in Europe a charge is levied). The young man (Kristian) who looked after us for the evening was very patient, explaining all the items we didn't know and checking with the kitchen if he didn't know ! It was a nice treat to have such a lovely evening after a hard days' skiing in Cervina, travelling down to Aosta and to find this little gem underneath our Hotel, not having to venture out when it was snowing outside. The bar was very pleasant and very reasonable too. We had a great evening and huge thanks to everyone in the Bar and Restaurant,

My wife had the wild pork and she claimed it was the best dish she had in the three months we have been in Europe I had a small taste and had to concur and will be ordering it tomorrow Great service and good selection of drinks definitely worth a visit for dinner

We had the tartare and fontina fondue. The food was average and service was professional. I had problems digesting the fondue as it was too heavy. This restaurant was convenient for us, but we think that it is too remote to recommend to anyone not staying at the hotel.
