This place is incredible! Our air bnb host recommended it as a local spot that's his favorite. And I was really glad because it's known for polenta which is a main food in the region (because historically, northern Italy didn't produce wheat for pasta or bread, so they ate polenta).We got there and the room was empty but then we found the second room which was so lively and packed with couples and families! We sat down and took in the atmosphere, all the walls are decorated with old farming equipment, and the place was so cozy. I loved the environment.We got a carafe of local red wine, delicious. The highlight was the beef cheeks with polenta. Literally the best thing I have ever had in my life and my partner felt the same. We also had dessert, we got panna cotta and chocolate cake. The panna cotta was the BEST one I have ever had (I fell in love with the dessert years ago but never found a really good one so I always order it when its on a menu, and now I can die happy).Thank you guys for welcoming us! The food, atmosphere, and service was great!!! We will never ever forget this night.

One of my favorite restaurants to go back to.We always go when in the area.Food is great, authentic, and fairly priced.Staff is super kind and helpful, making all guests feel at home.My favorite dishes are the salumi (cured cold cuts) as starter, pizzoccheri (pasta from the alps with cheese) as a “first dish” and Guancino di manzo Brasato (braised beef cheek with polenta) as a main.For busy days (ie when there’s great weather and it’s the weekend) it’s definitely advisable to book in advance.
