I can only agree with the excellent comments of other users. We arrived in Valsassina for a motorcycle ride. The valley, wild and beautiful, led us to the only open osteria in the area. Only a few tables, all occupied. A stove was lit to warm us from the 2°C outside. The lady, occasionally alone in the kitchen and dining room, despite the difficulty of managing everything alone, welcomed us very graciously, apologizing in advance if we encountered poor service. Instead, we ate excellent baked macaroni pasticciati and polenta with veal. If these dishes were already excellent, who knows how succulent those prepared by the cook (the lady's mother), who was absent today, must be. To finish, an excellent coffee accompanied by two bites of crostata.
All accompanied by a bottle of water (don't drink alcohol if you're driving, especially since the [only] road is very narrow and winding) for €26.
Rating: meal 10, hospitality 10+++.
It takes courage and love to stay and live in these places lost in the middle of nowhere, and here they prove it beautifully.
If we ever come back, it will be a pleasantly obligatory stop.

We ride past on our bikes by chance and stopped for lunch. What a find. Our waitress was charming, the food authentic and lovely. Half the cost of food by the lake. A true authentic trattoria. Not posh but relaxed and charming.

September 20, 2025. A fantastic surprise, a place from another era. Extremely friendly. Excellent home-made food (maxi ravioli with mushrooms and ricotta, mezze maniche with pancetta and mushrooms, loin and fillet with mushrooms). We couldn't have expected better.

What a lovely surprise! We were very well received by the restaurant owner for lunch despite the late hour. Excellent value for money, something you hardly find anymore. We loved it, and so did our two children. Thank you!

Delighted with our lunch: simple but fine cuisine, unique menu, fresh produce, attentive service in English or French... and very reasonable prices. Thank you!

It was amazing!
Authentic, home-style cooking with fresh produce. The waitress is super welcoming, kind, and speaks four different languages.
I recommend this restaurant 1000%; you won't be disappointed!
