I have missed feelings about the place. I definitely praise the culinary effort of the chef introducing Piemontese cuisine in Valtellina using excellent ingredients (even if honestly charging 23€ for two slices of brasato, sempre di ottima qualità(!), is too much to my opinion). The tartar of fassone is excellent, vitello tonnato is one of the best I’ve ever eaten. The pastas are good too. The wines are excellent and this is why I give three stars. The service is the worst. I definitely think they should reprimand (or better lay off) the girl with the blond ponytail. Even if she sees and hears you, she still ignores you. The first evening we dined here, I had to send my pasta back twice to be reheated as it arrived completely cold to the table. Once I sent it back for the second time and asked the blond girl about the status of it, she just said“Non ho una minima idea”, ie “I don’t have a slightest idea”. I was shocked by her answer to say the least. I thought for the moment we were dining somewhere in France 🤣. The Italians are famous for being best at restaurant service but this girl is definitely a rotten apple :). I can’t say much about their desserts either. The bunet was stinking of almond extract a mile away when it is supposed to have hazelnuts in it. On our second night we ordered Sacher but little we knew that they don’t bake it at the restaurant but order from Pozzi pasticceria next door. Needless to say, we sent it back. At Pozzi you pay 3,80€ and 8€ by them. It is not about the price though. I think this is even against the law. They buy cake from Pozzi, they serve it along with one (!) raspberry (and not “on the bed of frutti di bosco” like the menu mentions) and they don’t even put the name of Pozzi on the menu, ie Torta Sacher di Pozzi! If you decide to dine here, choose a bottle of wine with the help of the enoteca owner (he really knows his stuff!), try to avoid the blond girl, specify you want your pasta hot 🤣 and avoid Sacher Cake or...

Read moreA beautiful place in the heart of Bormio. Great selection of food and wine, honest service and excellent customer care.
I visited Enoteca Guanella with friends and overall had a great experience. The food was delicious, the atmosphere charming and the staff very attentive.
There was a small error on the bill that I didn't notice until the next day when I was elsewhere. I contacted the restaurant and they handled the situation in a completely professional manner - they responded quickly, apologized and refunded the amount claimed.
You rarely see such honesty and customer care. I really appreciate their fair approach and clear communication. Next time I'm in Bormio, I will definitely be back - and I highly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates great atmosphere, quality food and...
