Paprika — Restaurant in Comunità montana Alta Valtellina

We were in this restaurant today with a large friends & family group. The lady boss (“Capo” as frightened waitresses called her), who took the order and was in charge of our table, at certain moments behaved extremely arrogantly (I would even like to get up and leave, but we had children and elderly parents, I didn’t want to make a scene, and I don’t have such a habit, and I write here very rarely, and this is my first negative review). When she brought me a salad in the form of leaves, sliced ​​cheese and walnuts, I respectfully asked for some sauce, “humidity”, a splash of lemon, oil, mustard - anything so that it was not so dry, just like a mixed platter, to which the answer was that in “Throughout Italy salads are served like this”. sorry, I'm not originally from Italy, but I've been traveling in this country for 20 years and living in Milan for 2 years. And this is absolutely not the case, and the answer itself - an appeal to the whole of Italy - sounds extremely strange and disrespectful given the fact of particular case and request, smth like saying “take a salad cooking course and keep quiet”. After my polite answer, she brought salt, olive oil and balsamic vinegar and began to pour it all into my plate in proportions that are unknown to her, as she is not a chef, as if trying to show that this should always be done by guests themselves. Question: why go to a restaurant and expect that something can be made by a kitchen, if everything can be assembled with your own hands. I just refused a salad that she poured a ton of balsamic into and did it deliberately and rudely right in front of my nose. It was humiliating, miserly and completely unwelcoming act. The rest of the staff were much nicer. But the fish rots from the head. At the end it was funny when my friends ordered grappa, I asked if there was Nonino grappa, a brand that I know well and whose owners I met, she replied that “there is only what is indicated on the menu”, but when leaving, we saw the mentioned grappa in the bar downstairs. In general, by the way, with a kind, attentive attitude, you can not notice the flaws in the menu, but with such an attitude, an extremely unpleasant impression remains. I'm really sorry for the team. I hope that in the end this lady will be able to overcome her nationalist indignation and bad temper, but for now, a sincere (and in a way...

Nestled proudly in Livigno’s high street, Paprika is a dinner destination we've frequented over the past three years, both in summer and winter. The service consistently exceeds expectations, while the views from rear tables elevate the dining experience.

But it's not just the ambiance that impresses; the main courses at Paprika are outstanding. From tender deer medallions to hearty schnitzel and succulent steak, each dish is a testament to the chef's skill and dedication to quality.

Abbiamo pranzato presso il ristorante Paprika nel cuore di Livigno, attratti dall'imponente edificio tipicamente montano in pietra, con tetto e dettagli in legno. Appena varcata la soglia, siamo stati accolti da un membro del personale che ci ha condotto nella parte più suggestiva del locale: una splendida sala da pranzo con pareti interamente vetrate, arredamento moderno e una magnifica vista sulle nevi e sulle piste da sci circostanti. I nostri tavoli, dal design contemporaneo, sono stati prontamente allestiti una volta effettuato l'ordine. Il personale si è dimostrato estremamente gentile e competente, offrendoci un servizio impeccabile e veloce. Abbiamo scelto due primi piatti: i classici pizzoccheri e delle penne con rucola e straccetti di bresaola. I pizzoccheri erano un vero tripudio di sapori, la pasta perfettamente cotta, verza leggermente croccante, patate e formaggio filante armonicamente combinati. Anche le penne erano una delizia, con la sapidità della bresaola che si sposava alla freschezza leggermente amara della rucola, il tutto avvolto da una delicata crema di formaggio che esaltava la bontà del piatto nella sua semplicità. Nel complesso, un ristorante nel centro di Livigno che consigliamo vivamente a chi desidera gustare ottime pietanze in un'atmosfera montana...
