The food was outstanding. Sabina, the owner, took care of every detail. My daughter needs gluten free and she and the cooks had many options including pasta. They also have a great wine selection and she walked me through many of the local offerings. There is a garden area out back for outside, mountain view, seating. From the front the cave looks like a small boutique store. Don't let this fool you. It is a hidden little gem with some of the best food, wine and service you will find.

Imagine a large round of Vacherin Mont d'Or (raw milk cheese) sitting in a wooden case and heated in the oven to melting, served with mountain grown potatoes, a variety of cold cut prosciutto, salami, capocollo and pickled onions and gherkins. Now imagine a thick hamburger size bun with the top cut off and the bottom side hollowed out to hold an entire rondelle of squishy melted brie, and served with a side bowl of boiled mountain potatoes wrapped in bacon; pickled onions and gherkins on the side. Wash this down with a glass or two of local select wines and enjoy the ambience. By the way the mountain potatoes are grown locally within 1000 to 1800 metre altitude. The village of Ossein just above Aymavilles is renowned for its dark skinned and sweet tasting potatoes. Recommended by locals and after a couple visits I'd bet this is the local hotspot in Aymavilles. The place was hopping each evening we went. There are cute outdoor open ended cabins for groups of 8 or so as well as tables and chairs. Indoors the ground floor is a bustle of the bar, kitchen and half dozen tables with more tables below. Staff are friendly and you can make reservations. The menu is on the wall offering about a dozen or so 'aperitivo' food options.You can't miss the place. Just drive into Aymavilles and just before the first traffic circle across from the 'Municipio' (town hall) look for a place to park. It's obvious.

Ambience and setting were quite nice, traditional, though the table next to us had a very vocal babyâ¦The food was generally good, with an absolutely unforgettable suckling pig--truly delicious.Other dishes were good--overall, the food sets a very high standard.What let's Les Pertzes down is the poor service. Food delivered haphazardly--we waited five minutes for the last person to have their main course served. The staff is slow to respond to requests--another bottle of wine, another bottle of water, etc could take 10 minutes or more and several reminders.One of the waitresses was borderline aggressive in clearing the table, demanding in a very pushy way that we pass her the plates, even after we asked her to just let us finish our coffee.Would go back for the food, perhaps once, to see if the service issues were taken care of.
