Tolles, typisches Grotto im Misox. Ein Besuch lohnt sich hier. Die neuen Wirte sind super Gastgeber. Die Costine, Polenta und weiteren Gerichte sind ein Traum und sehr zu empfehlen. Für Familien mit Kinder herrlich. Alles wird auf dem Gill unter den Felsen zubereiten. Wir kommen sicher wieder...

Trovato per puro caso dopo avere sbagliato strada. Abbiamo mangiato all’aperto, a uno dei tanti tavoli di pietra che riempiono il giardino. Oltre alla bella atmosfera, le portate erano ottime e lo stracotto con la polenta mi fa fatto ripartire con un senso di soddisfazione. Grande gentilezza e simpatia da chi ci ha servito, che ci ha dato anche qualche indicazione per il nostro viaggio. Se mai ripassassi da queste parti, tornerei volentieri!

Abbiamo mangiato molto bene! Il bollito era gustoso e fatto come si deve. La stessa cosa per i gnocchi al ragout. Complimenti al nuovo gestore Davide.
