Place is an absolute gem in the middle of the mountains. Located just next to the border, location itself is a small village with sheep and nature. Restaurant is an old building, that creates a perfect setting for amazing dinner. The food was really spectacular. Special mention for the cheeses, that had amazing flavor and taste. Pasta was perfect, and tasted most of them - all winners. Service was friendly and atmosphere was great for a date or dinner with good friends. Really a must go, 5/5!
Recommended. The atmosphere is traditional and welcoming, the menu is authentic and high quality, and the staff are professional and friendly. It's well worth a journey to the charming village of Erbonne and this fantastic osteria if you are in the area.
A great place at the end of a long and narrow road. The destination is worth the driving pain. We arrived towards the end of the truffle season but still we got a great selection. Truly a local experience. Highly recommend. We will stop again when visiting, but we'll get a smaller car to get there.
We went here on a rainy foggy day in may 2023, walking from the parking and walking 150metres before the village. The restaurant is such a homely setting and everything is made daily or locally sourced. We ate gnocchi, pizzoccheri and steak and it’s was all exceptional. They have a large wine and beer selection and even cocktails. Kids even enjoyed it “best gnocchi ever” A unique experience and very well priced compared to some of the costly places by the lake.Highly recommended.
Lovely little restaurant with a few open air tables and some indoor ones in a nice room in front of a fireplace. The kitchen serves well executed traditional dishes with good variety, sustained quality and the odd gem. We were amazed by both quantity and quality of our lardo starter, the side of the portions and the taste of the pizzoccheri, but also the perfect stracotto with polenta. Homemade cake to finish. Good house wine, and even the coffee was perfect. At 39 each the place is not expensive at all given all we had.
The cutest cosiest local restaurant up in the mountains (fantastic views on the drive up). Definitely worth a visit - amazing food, wine and service and all at a reasonable price. A lot of the menu is homemade daily and/or locally sourced such as the truffle the waiter grated onto my steak tartare!
Pleasantly surprised with this fantastic restaurant located in the tiny town of Erbonne. The polenta, slow-cooked pork, pasta with truffles was absolutely terrific, one of the best meals we have had in the region. The house wine was good too, we would definitely go here again.
Warmly recommended! After a rather challenging drive through the forest and the dark, we were thinking "this better be worth it!" It was beyond that!!! A fantastic restaurant in a little old 'borgo'. The food was spectacular, and the service too. Tatar steak with truffles was from another world. Do not miss this place if you're around!
