hotel ristorante pizzeria culmine In Ardenno

31/07/2023: We had a lovely meal at this place. We booked in advance and when we came we were taken to a table were there were some dishes on the table already and a few more was served right away. The concept here is that the antipasti is served right away and then the chef comes to explain what you can order. The interior is a bit weird – the place is a dark, old hut with a couple of levels but with lots of different artifacts to decorate the place. And with a fireplace it turned out to be a very cozy place. We decided to have some gnocchi to start with and the chef made two different types for us. As a main meal we decided to have meat – the meat was very tender but maybe a bit salty for me. It was served with some caramelized onions and a lovely local polenta. After the meal we got some cookies and biscuits and we also got a strong digestive drink. All in all a fun, informal dinner with a lovely bottle of Sforzato di Valtellina. The meal was about 140 € (I think the wine was about 40 €) to give you an indication of the price level.
