Alva In Ballabio

Lots of stuff, all good, reasonable prices, friendly staff. What else?

Absolutely amazing. I adore mountain people. Direct, fast, practical...outstanding food at truly affordable prices.

AN IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE IN LOCAL CULINARY TRADITIONS. WARM AND WELCOMING LOCATION WITH EXCELLENT FOOD AND IMPECCABLE RAW MATERIALS... WELL DONE!

What a stall! It's a must to stop; you can't leave without buying everything from the stall.

A unique place that sells very good products! There are so many quotes, paintings, and objects hanging on the walls that it would be hard to read them all! The salami sandwich is delicious! Very fast service! The staff is incredibly friendly! A must-see if you're passing by. Parking is convenient, and there's even a small green park nearby.

Beautiful place, delicious products, I love the bruschetta with lard, and the pizzoccheri are amazing

A great spot for a post-hike snack. Very crowded, but for good reason.

Every time I pass by, I always stop by—it's a must! Cured meats, cheeses, butchers, wine, honey, pasta, and much more—a restaurant serving homemade cuisine. The grill is always burning, and the polenta pot is always ready. The menu is excellent, featuring a first course (pizzoccheri or lasagna), a second course (salami or pork chop), and a glass of wine/water at a modest price! Huge counters filled with every delicacy, from bruschetta to cheese spreads, and all kinds of grilled delicacies (salami, sausages, ribs, etc.), make you want to try everything, and as soon as you glimpse them on the always well-stocked counter, your mouth starts watering... It's great for both lunch and dinner, even after a hike or a day of skiing. Inside, there are many tables with benches that fill up at peak times; alternative times are better; I've never found the fire out. You order at the counter, then you go to the cashier and in 5 minutes you're sitting down to eat!

Well... magical place!!! From hot dishes to bruschetta, cheeses, and meats...🤤! Then a selection of amaros and some local wines! Go there!

It's a must-see if you're passing through the Balisio hills: cheeses, cold cuts, sandwiches, mouth-watering ready-made dishes, bruschetta, etc. The tastings end with a delicious salami sandwich—try it.
