Il Malandrino Bistrot
Orvieto, Terni, 20-30€
03/04/2026: The truffle pasta at the restaurant recommended by the guide was delicious. However, ordering at an Italian restaurant felt a bit awkward. I clearly ordered just one pasta dish, but a fried egg came out with it, and the price was similar to the pasta. I was shocked. I don't know if I just mindlessly said okay, but it didn't feel good. I turned around thinking it was a relief since the food was good, but did they pull a trick on me for a moment? Anyway, make sure to check the box stating that you are only eating this when ordering.
03/04/2026: The dishes are both delicious and visually stunning, and truly exceptional.
Some are even experimental, blending diverse culinary traditions with classic Italian cuisine.
The interior is stylishly modern and very cozy, with chill jazz playing in the background.
The staff is very friendly (especially with children)!
Not overpriced!
Update 2026 (8 years later):
Nothing has changed! On the contrary, it might even be a touch better :)

Auberge De La Maison Restaurant
Courmayeur, Valle d'aosta, 30-45€
06/04/2026: A wonderful experience; everything was perfect in this mountain chalet, set in a refined, warm, and welcoming environment. The staff was extremely kind and available for any information. Excellent shuttle service. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a balcony. Excellent breakfast and a superb candlelit dinner. The spa and small but functional indoor/outdoor pool were included. The hotel is very close to the Skyway Monte Bianco, and I highly recommend this excursion.
31/03/2026: My girlfriend and I dined as external guests at the Auberge's restaurant, and unfortunately, I find myself having to write a review that's different from all the others and from what I would have liked. I'm certain it was a truly unique occasion.
The attention to detail, unfortunately, didn't live up to the service: the gueridon attached to our table, which was filled with other customers' dishes and used tableware, was inappropriate. Furthermore, it was moved back and forth from our table to others, causing considerable embarrassment (to be clear, the gueridon is appropriate, but I think it's best to move it away from other diners' tables unless it's permanently attached to the table in question). The wait times were extremely long, despite the number of diners appearing adequate for the number of waiters (waiting time at least 30 minutes). The delivery of the dishes was a mistake: we ordered a Piedmontese appetizer to share, but the main courses arrived first. Despite our suggestion to reverse the order, they preferred to take it away (thus requiring us to wait again for the main course). At the end of the meal, they asked if we'd like dessert, telling us they'd bring the menu, but we had to ask another waiter because it was clear they'd forgotten (a 10-minute wait). Having both worked in this profession, we noticed some imperfections in the service (for example, salt and pepper thrown into the bread basket to clear the table).
The quality of the food was excellent (char, tagliata, and apple fritters). I'm sorry for the review, but I'm sure it was an isolated incident.

CIBO
Aosta, Valle d'aosta, 20-30€
11/03/2026: Everything about this place is perfect!
From the bathrooms to the dishes, everything is 100% taken care of.
The dishes are delicious, fresh, and well-made!
The place is super welcoming, spotlessly clean, and very quiet.
The lady is incredibly kind!
Highly recommended!
11/03/2026: Too expensive and quite low quality.
We had pumpkin pies as an appetizer; they were soft, not at all crunchy.
For main courses, the vegan burger was good, but it cost 19 euros; and the seitan with fennel salad was a meager dish, too salty, and always very expensive.
The worst was the desserts: tiramisu with cream and chocolate chips??? I can't even get it right abroad, let alone in Italy... And a pear strudel probably made with store-bought puff pastry.
We spent about 150 euros for two, with wine, of course, but not even in Milan do I pay that much for a vegan dinner, especially one of this mediocre, if not low, quality.
The place was also tiny and empty, and the waiter was always breathing down our necks, not even giving us time to talk...
We won't be returning, and we're sad about that, considering it's the only vegan restaurant in the area.

Chez Duclos
Gignod, Valle d'aosta, 20-30€
29/12/2025: We stumbled upon it by chance... the owner is professional, capable, and friendly, and his 51 years of experience are evident. Excellent food, high-quality, traditional Aosta Valley cuisine. Very fair prices. We'll definitely be back!
14/12/2025: Small, family-friendly location, welcoming, helpful staff. Excellent dishes prepared with quality ingredients.

Le Bar à Fromage
Cogne, Valle d'aosta, 20-30€
08/03/2026: I ordered fondue (the restaurant's signature dish) for two, which wasn't bad in itself, but compared to four years ago, they "forgot" to bring me much of the dipping sauce. For €60, they served us a few thin slices of mocetta and a bowl of bread cubes... for two. When I asked for more, they brought me another bowl of bread, 20 minutes later with the fondue cold. The Bellevue (the owner) is an excellent 5-star hotel. This is my third year coming here, and I don't think the management of this restaurant is still up to par with its standard of service.
27/02/2026: The place is very cute and typical of the area.
The food is very good and not expensive, but the cheeses are a bit pricey for the quantity.
The polenta is also a bit pricey, but the other dishes are reasonably priced.
Overall, however, we found the quality/price ratio to be more fair than the competition.

La Brasserie du Bon Bec
Cogne, Valle d'aosta, 20-30€
05/04/2026: Excellent and very intimate restaurant in the center of Cogne. For two, we only had the fondue chinoise and skipped the appetizers because the fondue is already quite generous. The meat, marinated with salt, rosemary, and lots of garlic, was excellent. Highly recommended.
05/04/2026: Lovely place.. delicious food.. very kind staff..

Le Cadran Solaire
Ayas, Valle d'aosta, 20-30€
12/04/2026: A small place at least in winter, because in summer I assume you can also sit outside, but the cuisine is excellent, especially for typical local dishes.
07/04/2026: Very nice, intimate place, you're welcomed, the staff is very friendly and willing to offer advice.
Good home cooking, generous portions, and good value.
