This was unexpected. In a sleepy town outside Courmayeur (but a short drive from the lifts), we made an encounter we will not forget. It's a place with an intense yet friendly atmosphere, with great food and a classy wine list at most reasonable prices. The food is local and very tasty. Tapas sized pastas, cheeses, hams etc. The chef knows what he is doing and doesn't go fancy or over extends, uses great and fresh ingredients and sticks to the script. We were surrounded but a motley crew of happy tourists in the know and local wine makers and restaurant owners. The music is part of the furniture and you can helps shape the evening! Chairs (and music) outside for smokers. But the very best feature of this amazing little jewel is the two owners, Alesandro and Luciano. They are seasoned but so much fun to be around and they definitely like a good party. Haven't laughed this much for years. The only major drawback was that I didn't get home until breakfast time so ended up watching sports on TV nursing a happy hangover. I am going again soonest and booking the hotel across the road. With Sun, snow And Armadillo I need nothing else. Thanks so mach for your visit at the Armadillo and the positive review.Hope to have you soon again at the Dillo.Kind regards,Alessandro

Sophisticated cafe with great salads and great atmosphere located in the center of pretty Courmayeur. We visited at the end of the summer season so it was not hard to get a table...but understand it gets packed in the high season. Worth checking out for a sample of the jet set people visiting the area!

Visited Courmayeur for a birthday lunch and stumbled across this fantastic spot.We started with a shared local Charcuterie board and three different pastas as mains.The produce was delicious and very we'll presented. The young male waiter, sorry we didn't get your name, was great... attentive but not overbearing and there was no delay in service.We will definitely return for a meal when we return to Courmayeur Grazi!!

We enjoyed the recommendation of local wine and foods from a very kind waitress who lavished attention on our young children. She brought them lots of freshly baked bread and recommended a great gelateria for later. We sat outside on a lovely patio and enjoyed our meal very much. The boar tagliatelle was amazing!
