I can't criticize the food I ate here at all (apart from the desserts which were all frozen). The portions were good as was the quality...my only complaint was the service. We were put at a table in the corner near the veranda and we kept having to call the waiters. After bringing the food they just seemed to forget about us.

Don´t be afraid to visit this restaurant even though it´s a part of the hotel which is usually not a good sign. However this place is really amazing. The environment isn´t the most beautiful I have ever seen, but the quality of the cousine moves everything onto the highest levels.I tried a traditional regional menu - pizzoccheri della valchiavenna, deer and desert being surprised by a small antipasto before as a free gift. This even helped to completely destroyed me as everything was so good not to be able to leave anything. Be aware that the portions are huge here, for example pizzoccheri could be enought for a diner, but it would be pity not to try also something else. Having closed everything with local amaro was a final point of a perfect experience which I would like to repeat.

Beautifully located next to the river a fine example of an Italian pizzeria. Very friendly service, excellent food, the carpaccio particularly worthy of mention. We had two great pizzas that are just do much better than we get back at home in England. And two starters, 2 beers, 2 glasses of wine, water and coffee cost only â¬51 which also makes it excellent value, and that's before you consider the stunning view over the garden in the back. Thoroughly recommended.

We have had lunch here about six times over the years and we have never been disappointed. If its lunch time when you are in Chiavenna, do yourself a favour and dine here. Piazza is also a favourite!!

Food was top of excellent. Everything just very, very tasty, in particular the risotto porcini (half porcini, half rice). Service okay but not brillant. Awful music from the speakers. Avoid a table in the rear as it is right next to the dish washing.

We very much enjoyed dinner at this traditional restaurant. Friendly and efficient staff made for a relaxed evening with lots of good wine and food. Beware the risotto - It is delicious, but enormous and doesn't leave much room for the main course, let alone dessert.We are not sure when we might be in Chiavenna again, but this restaurant almost deserves a special trip to the area.

We dinned at this beautiful restaurant based on recommendation given by my hotel at Lake Como. We drove an hour to reach this well located restaurant, and were served by Joanna. The food we tried here was awesome, and the staff was friendly only until the time we got our bill.This restaurant is frequented by locals, and they don't have many tourists as guests, which is a good thing as you get authentic food, but on the other side they took tourist for a ride with their bill.The prices in the menu were different from what they charged us in the bill. Example Pizzoccheri was priced at â¬14 in menu but was charged at â¬20 in the bill and Rissoto was priced at â¬18 in the menu but was charged to us at â¬24. We asked what was their soup of the day, and we were told it was Mushroom soup, though a very beautiful soup, since the prices were not in the Menu for the soup, we assumed it would be priced similar to other appetizers in the menu. We were shocked to see â¬30 for a soup in the invoice.I would say the food was very good. Given that its a very nice restaurant, good food, we won't have minded paying the prices they charged, but to be fair you cannot charge more than what you put out in your Menu card. I did try asking Joanna about the Soup, and she said its because the mushrooms are high quality and hence the cost. For other items I didn't realise till the time I returned home and compared the prices in the bill with the prices on the menu published online on their website.It was really shocking for us to see a restaurant with such great reputation would act so low.
