We had lunch at La Gruba restaurant, in La Gruba a Gaby, and the experience was truly unforgettable. We had booked a few days in advance, and upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the owner Alberto, who passionately explained the entire menu to us, explaining that everything is homemade, from the bread to the sauces.
We ate on the wonderful panoramic veranda, warmed by a wood-burning stove that created an intimate and welcoming atmosphere, while outside we admired the autumn foliage of the Aosta Valley: a feast for the eyes and the soul. The menu was a constant discovery:
An exceptional tartare accompanied by a parmesan wafer and homemade mustard, intense and perfectly balanced.
Handmade spaghetti with chicken ragù, simply fantastic, flavorful, and authentic.
A "sconcia" polenta with onion and gorgonzola, creamy and piping hot, true mountain comfort food.
To conclude, two unforgettable desserts: meringues with cream and berries and a fragrant raspberry jam tart.
We washed it all down with an excellent glass of wine and enjoyed two hours of pure relaxation, immersed in the beauty of the place and the kindness of the service.
The bill? €65 for two, more than fair for the quality, care, and experience offered.
A lunch that left us with wonderful memories—so much so that we can't wait to return with our family.
An authentic place, managed with love and passion, where everything smells of home and the mountains.
Highly recommended!

We celebrated our wedding and had a wonderful time. The location was enchanting, the food excellent, the rooms wonderful, and the relaxation area truly relaxing. Alberto and Monica were very helpful and accommodated our every request. Our guests were very satisfied; I'm sure it will be a wonderful memory for everyone. We were just a small group (22 people) and were looking for a place with excellent food, quiet, relaxing, and spectacular.
Highly recommended.

We celebrated our fortieth birthday with lunch in the glass-enclosed dining room. There were about thirty of us, divided into three tables. The location is spectacular and very evocative. The service was truly excellent and the food was delicious. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We highly recommend it!

A magical place in the village of Niel, with beautiful rooms in true mountain style, a restaurant with a never-ending menu, and an excellent wine list. Come and visit, you won't regret it.
