We visited this restaurant as a party of four adults and a toddler. The venue itself is undeniably beautiful, with a refined ambiance complemented by black-tie waitstaff, creating the impression of a high-end dining experience. However, while the cuisine was good, the extremely long waiting time overshadowed the experience—unfortunately, previous poor reviews regarding service delays seem to still hold true.
A significant number of menu items were unavailable, limiting our choices and adding to the disappointment. Additionally, the restaurant is not particularly child-friendly, with tall tables and low chairs making seating uncomfortable for little ones (while kids' seats were available, they were too small for our toddler), making it difficult for them to sit comfortably. To make matters worse, our toddler’s meal was served much later than expected, leaving us struggling to keep them entertained.
The restaurant is very busy during weekend lunchtime, which further contributes to the excessive delays in food service. It’s a shame, as this place has the potential to be exceptional with better management. Perhaps the owners could consider reducing the number of tables or large parties, or hiring additional kitchen staff to ensure meals are prepared and served more efficiently.
Unfortunately, based on our experience, I cannot fully recommend this place. There are several other restaurants in the area offering similar traditional cuisine with far better service.

A real surprise, elegant and refined environment, excellent cuisine. We started with cod and eggs cooked on a cheese base, a first course of stuffed ravioli and a sliced meat.
Fair price

In the beautiful room, with windows overlooking a natural panorama with centuries-old chestnut groves and delicious water springs, local cuisine is combined with Podolian beef and game and other fragrant and tasty dishes with forest ingredients.
We will return with great pleasure.

Charming chalet in a location surrounded by nature, even if a little difficult to reach. The dishes, refined and well presented, enhance the typical flavors of the area. Courteous and attentive service. Worth more than one visit!

The Chalet del Buongustaio in Serino is the perfect place for those who love genuine cuisine in an elegant atmosphere. Friendly staff, ideal for a dinner with friends or a trip out of town. Highly recommended!
