Bar Ristorante Gran Sometta — Restaurant in Valtournenche

We arrived at 3:20pm and we were informed by what I believe was the owner, that we should order fast because the kitchen closes. I tried to decide quickly and asked for a specific dish and the owner said to the waiter that it's too late for that now. I wanted to instantly leave but we were a larger group.

We were charged 3+ euro / person as a service fee where the waiters would just randomly put stuff on the table without waiting for an answer regarding who has what and we also paid for an extra drink that we didn't order.

Should we mention that the women's bathroom had no actual toilet, but a Turkish style "hole"?

Worst possible experience on an Italian ski slope, ever ever. This should be avoided...

Service was terrible and food was really average. Long wait, they gave us some bread but it was completely dry and tasteless, we ordered a spaghetti carbonara and lasagna, after 45 min the waiter tried to give me a penne arrabbiata after explaining to him what we ordered he still try to give us the plate, he later came back with a plate of penne carbonara I again explained on the menu it said spaghetti but he told me they run out of spaghetti shape pasta, the lasagna came even later. As we left after paying we saw spaghetti carbonara dishes coming out the kitchen so clearly didn’t run out 😹 save yourself some...

I toke one star away because of the owner’s unnecessary comment to this review („PS: beim nächsten mal Englisch lernen“). As you can see, my English is totally fine but yours wasn’t when we tried to order in English. So that’s that…

—— Die guten Bewertungen lockten uns hierher von der Schweizer Seite und wir setzten uns hungrig und erwartungsvoll auf die volle Terrasse. Leider kamen wir gar nicht zum Essen, weil der Service völlig überfordert war. Wir waren etwas in Eile, weil wir unsere letzte Gondel in die Schweiz nicht verpassen durften. Nach 20 Minuten ohne Getränkebestellung verliessen wir das Ristorante wir wieder mit hungrigen Mägen. Es war auch schade, dass die Bedienung nur italienisch sprach und das einzige Menü die schlecht lesbare handgeschriebene Tafel über dem Eingang war, ebenfalls nur auf italienisch. Wir versuchten, das Angebot zu entziffern, jedoch unmöglich. Unsere Nachfrage nach deutschen oder englischen Menükarten wurde verneint. In einem touristischen Grenzgebiet wäre eine mehrsprachige Karte wirklich zu empfehlen. So konnten wir das lecker aussehende Essen leider nur aus der Ferne beobachten. Schade! Vielleicht beim...
