Two of us have been to the Tre Risotti Restaurant in Valganna, and every time it's an absolute testament to quality and tradition.
Welcoming us into the dining room is the owner and proprietor Sergio, always impeccable: elegant, attentive, and never intrusive. He knows how to recommend dishes, explain the dishes, and make you feel like a true guest, not just a customer. The passion he puts into his work and into running this historic restaurant is evident.
Arturo is in the kitchen, and here a special round of applause is deserved. His touch is evident in every dish: precision, balanced flavors, respect for the raw ingredients, and a remarkable ability to enhance tradition with personality. His risottos are truly a benchmark: just the right amount of creaminess, perfectly blended, with thoughtful yet never boring combinations. You can sense his experience, technique, and immense love for what he does.
We started with the snails à la bourguignonne, delicious, tender, and enveloped in a rich, aromatic, perfectly balanced sauce. Truly excellent. We also tasted their bresaola, aged in Valganna, flavorful yet delicate, thinly sliced, and of superior quality.
The pork in balsamic vinegar deserves a special mention: incredibly tender, juicy inside, and with a slightly caramelized surface that provided an intense and harmonious flavor. The balsamic vinegar didn't mask, but rather enhanced the meat's natural sweetness, creating a perfect balance between acidity and softness. A rich yet elegant dish, demonstrating great culinary skill.
And then the absolute stars: the risottos. The menu offers an incredible variety. From classics like porcini mushroom risotto and Milanese, to more sophisticated pairings like speck and rosemary, leeks and Taleggio, brie and pistachio, radicchio, cacio e pepe and figs, red onions and sausage, pumpkin and amaretti, provola and walnuts, and borlotti beans and lard.
They also offer specialty risottos, truly remarkable dishes: Barolo and fondue, Milanese risotto with veal osso buco, a trio of risottos (porcini mushrooms, shrimp, and snails), and even quail risotto. It's rare to find such a wide and carefully crafted selection, where each risotto is made to order (with just the right amount of time, a sign of quality) and perfectly blended. Creamy, enveloping, never heavy: simply excellent.
The wait staff is attentive and present, yet always discreet. The service complements the experience with professionalism and warmth.
The outdoor terrace is stunning, and I can't wait for warmer weather to arrive so I can dine al fresco, immersed in the tranquility of the Valganna. On summer Sundays, they organize aperitifs with shows, a wonderful initiative that makes the place even more lively and engaging.
I've also been here for a private party: their tavern is welcoming and perfect for events, with the option of music and dancing. An ideal space for celebrating with friends.
A restaurant that combines history, quality, tradition, and passion. Kudos to Sergio for his impeccable hospitality and a big round of applause to Arturo for his extraordinary cuisine, especially his risottos, which are truly the restaurant's flagship. We'll be back again and again! 🌟
