Agriturismo della Tensa In Domodossola

I'll start by saying that it was recommended to me by locals, so despite the high but mixed reviews, I decided to try this Osteria. The road to get there, in my opinion, is accessible and typical, but only if you have no particular driving difficulties. We're not in the plains, so it's typical mountain roads, weather-beaten... but they're easily passable. If you have trouble parking in Milan, leave your car on the main road and take a walk that won't ruin your appetite. As for the restaurant itself, I'd say it's worth a visit; it's very characteristic and offers a truly evocative view. Personally, I think the location is worth the effort. As for lunch, I have to say I enjoyed it; the dishes were good and the portions were normal, except for the platters, which I found a bit on the small side. Sometimes tastes can confuse the perception of flavors. I found the first courses to be very light and delicate; I personally had the linguine with porcini mushrooms, and I usually find more bold flavors. For the platters, I think it's different... the cured meats were good, as were the jams, but the portions were very small. The dessert was good, but described differently than it was when it arrived. There was ice cream, but it wasn't mentioned. It didn't detract from its deliciousness; in fact, being an apple tart, it paired perfectly. Sometimes, however, different expectations can be confusing and risk disappointing. I would return, for the location—certainly, it's best if it's a nice day, but it's still beautiful regardless—to better understand the flavors and dishes. Sometimes in certain places, you expect strong, bold flavors, while here everything is very delicate. Worth a try...

The restaurant is in a fantastic location! The dishes are delicious and refined, everything is fantastic! The only downside is the wait between dishes! Overall, a highly recommended experience!

Lovely setting but average food and somewhat confusing service.

A quaint osteria nestled in a busy mountain setting just above Domodossola. The food is good (nothing extraordinary), but the service is a bit slow. Overall, it's a good option for lunch and a stroll around the area.

Really nice place! If it weren't for the wait, it would be perfect. The food is good.

A very cozy osteria with a view of the Domodossola Valley. Excellent food (and breakfast)

Reserved with group for a short time 👍

A well-maintained agriturismo. In the ambiance, the service, and the cuisine. Local products are prepared with expert craftsmanship and the right amount of imagination. The service is informal yet attentive and courteous. Well done!

Restaurant in the middle of nowhere, maar de rit er naar toe dubbel en dwars waard. Heerlijke huiswijn en fantastische vleesgerechten. Vriendelijke bediening.

Abbiamo cenato la sera prima, abbiamo aspettato un po', ma nella norma. La sera dopo dopo un quarto d'ora è arrivato l'antipasto. Purtroppo c'era una addio al nubilato molto rumoroso e maleducato,dopo circa 45 minuti di attesa per due primi a malincuore siamo andati via. La signorina alla cassa era disturbata da uno degli amici dello sposo, per il pagamento alla fine si sono scusati e non ci hanno fatto pagare l'antipasto e l'acqua. Mi dispiace veramente, ma devono migliorare un po' nel servizio.
