08/03/2026: I stayed at the Rifugio on a Sunday with some friends. Well-located and easy to reach, the refuge is charming and welcoming, perfect for an immersive experience on the slopes of Etna. We only had lunch at the refuge, and there were eight of us. A major problem was the lack of reservation lists, so we had to wait a long time before being seated. The staff weren't very welcoming at first; they called our names to let us know there was a free table, but when they led us to the dining room, they claimed they hadn't called us. It happened twice. Despite this, we finally had lunch. The ingredients were good and homemade, but the meat was overcooked, and the appetizer could have been more generous, considering it was shared between two people. Overall, it was a great experience, a great stop for a refreshment during a hike!
01/03/2026: I must say that all in all it went well, it is a mountain refuge, so you can't expect much, moreover the price of the overnight stay including dinner and breakfast is low, a special appreciation goes to the waiter Carlo, a kind and helpful person, who served us dinner in the evening
