Il Colmetto In Rodengo saiano

A remarkable experience, even for vegetarians. Dishes are carefully crafted with flavor combinations, the staff are very friendly, the wine selection is excellent, and the ambiance is simple yet refined. The welcome from the kitchen captivates the palate: goat butter, sourdough bread on a hay bowl, and a small vegetable croque. The gnocchi with grilled peas are excellent. Interesting desserts. Worth a stop.

So-so experience. A very nice and intimate restaurant, with very creative and unique food, and excellent ingredients (medium-high prices). The only downside, unfortunately, is the service, which is definitely too slow! I fully understand that weekend lunches can be chaotic everywhere, but I don't think it's acceptable to wait 20 minutes for a menu and another 35 minutes for food. We were also hoping to visit the dairy to purchase the products they've promoted so much on their channels, but unfortunately it was closed. We did, however, appreciate being able to go into the barn and pet the goats; they were so cute!

I'm very happy I tried Il Colmetto, finding it lived up to my expectations and the positive reviews I'd heard. We had lunch on the bright veranda, in a fresh and youthful atmosphere. Since there were six of us, we couldn't order à la carte, so we opted for the "reduced" tasting menu, to which we added pigeon and sweetbreads (the winning dish for me). Aside from the meats ordered separately and the final course, the delicious suckling pig, the rest of the dishes were vegetarian. The dishes were well-crafted, well-balanced, with excellent ingredients and well-prepared. The whipped goat butter was amazing.

Very nice atmosphere. Very attentive service with very kind and friendly staff. Excellent food with new taste experiences.

A set menu of exceptional quality. The farm-fresh vegetables are delicious and expertly prepared. The goat butter is excellent. The wine selection is very good. The dishes are superb. Expensive, but worth the price. The goat farm is very clean: the level of care given to the animals is truly remarkable. Top-notch.

A beautiful evening, excellent food and kindness, we felt pampered

We were very pleased, especially with the creativity with which the vegetables were prepared and the quality of a couple of wines we weren't familiar with. The refined yet not overly formal atmosphere made us feel at ease. We'll be back.

Excellent welcome upon leaving. Excellent wine list, very good food, and very attentive service.

If I were to rate the food alone, Il Colmetto would deserve top marks. The farm's produce is spectacular, the vegetables are expertly presented without unnecessary technicalities, and the grilled meats are cooked to perfection. A true celebration of seasonality and a cuisine of the highest standard that fully honors the Michelin green star it lost. Unfortunately, the experience was marred by decidedly sloppy service. Although it wasn't specified when booking, we only discovered the "double-seater" policy at the table, which prevented us from choosing the long menu. The situation worsened when, due to a slowdown in the kitchen, we were invited to finish lunch outside to free up the table. Finding yourself outside in mid-February, carrying cutlery and glasses yourself without even bothering to ask if we had jackets to retrieve from the cloakroom, is unacceptable for a restaurant of this caliber. Finally, it's ironic that the chef, so kind and friendly, has to escort you through the kitchen to find the bathroom and exit, due to the lack of dedicated routes for those seated outside. Such a beautiful establishment deserves much more attentive and respectful dining room management. A bittersweet experience, unfortunately: stellar cuisine but polarizing hospitality.

A pleasant experience; we had very high expectations for this place. The venue is beautiful and well-maintained. The food was excellent. Nothing extravagant or overly elaborate. The tasting menu was rich and delicious, and the wine pairing was perfect. However, we noted several service issues. Despite having reported our allergies in advance, we were asked after we were seated if we had any allergies to report. Even though we had announced in advance that we were vegetarian and resolved the issue over the phone, there were some issues at the table. No one was aware of this information, and we were denied the option to substitute meat dishes. The only last-minute solution offered was to have three entrees, which we declined. Allergies are reported in advance for a number of reasons, and I find it uncomfortable to arrive unprepared on the day of dinner. From a restaurant of a certain caliber, I expect greater attention and precision, but overall, the experience was very good.
