A typical location for mountain lovers. The restaurant is well-maintained, the wait staff is friendly and attentive to guests' needs, and the table service is prompt. The food is excellent. Experienced during an excursion with the BMW Club in April 2026.

A unique restaurant. I've been there several times and the experience has always exceeded expectations. The quality/price ratio is truly unparalleled. Excellent dishes, a charming and elegant setting, with breathtaking views of the Ansanto Valley, nestled in the village of Rocca San Felice.
