Food looked great on google, but they must have changed something since last year. Our pizzas looked nothing like that. We were quite disappointed. Pizza was mediocre at best. Pasta was bland. Bolognese didn’t really taste like bolognese at all. Quite the disappointment.

But the biggest disappointment was desert. We were excited to see crème brûlée on the menu. Unfortunately it was really lumpy. Anyway, if you mess up, you should re-do it, don’t serve it if it’s not perfect. Gf didn’t even finish it, and she LOVES crème brûlée.

Service also mediocre at best.

Location and general atmosphere is nice. It’s nice inside as well. Also a big plus, and why we went here was that they don’t do the whole siesta thing, so you can actually get something to eat when you are hungry, unlike in the other restaurant’s in the area - I will always hate that about Italy.

Overall, I was expecting more given the previous reviews, seems like they made some changes recently for the worse, definitely not a...

Unico ristorante aperto in zona. Mi fanno accomodare all'interno senza nemmeno verificare (o chiedere) se avessi fatto tampone o vaccino (che ho fatto, quindi ho evitato di creare polemiche). Mi siedo in una sala dove i tavoli sono ancora nella stessa disposizione da pre pandemia (tutti troppo vicini e nessun ricircolo d'aria) e mi portano questo menù di plastica con le foto, come in certi all you can eat. Ma non mi scoraggio, illuso del fatto che l'unico ristorante a Corvara avrebbe avuto qualche chicca del posto. Ordino 1/4 di vino della casa al costo di 8 euro (32 euro al litro per una bevanda alcolica del genere, un'offesa all enologia italiana)e un antipasto per iniziare, visto che mi è stato detto molto abbondante. Un piatto della casa, delle frittelle (6 o 7 grandi quanto un raviolo) di patate, più dolci che salate, servite nel dubbio con una marmellata (talmente abbondante nel suo barattolo, che mi viene da pensare inevitabilmente che verrà riutilizzata molte volte) e dei crauti dal sapore di solo aceto, senza più consistenza. Attanagliato dalla fame ordino un primo che si rivela stranamente discreto, tagliatelle fatte in casa (sottilissime, ma andavano bene) con ragù di cervo (almeno questo abbondante). Preso dalla fiducia concludo con uno strudel, affogato in una pozzanghera giallognola che dovrebbe essere stata una crema. Era lunedì, probabilmente era stato fatto da parecchi giorni, forse i primi giorni era anche buono, ormai non più. Ps menzione d'onore all'uscita dei piatti, sotto i 3 minuti, posso immaginare quanto fossero espressi. Tutto ciò per la cifra di 50 euro, io col naso storto pago, poi chiedo una grappa e mi viene fatta pagare più del prezzo di listino, che ho controllato visto i 50 euro precedenti. Inutile dire che non tornerò qua. La cameriera gentile (se no di stelle ne avrei data 1), ma un...
