Le Vallene In Terlago

13/08/2024: Splendid restaurant with a wonderful terrace, specializing in grilled meat. High level service, courteous without being intrusive. The balanced cuisine of great quality that left us fully satisfied. A very enjoyable dinner! Highly recommended.

10/08/2024: Very nice garden, minimal parking, romantic atmosphere if away from festive and noisy groups, but better not to go in full season. The very nice waitresses, although insufficient in number, when asked for explanations on the dishes offered on the grill, "send us the young owner" who hastily and with little availability is unable to explain too exhaustively the cuts of the meats offered, yet we chose him the right place for the grilled meat that they cook in the garden on the grill; he seemed almost annoyed by our requests for information, which I consider correct and necessary, given that they sell a pound of Florentine steak for 15.00 euros and the minimum possible order is 1 kilo (= 150.00 euros for a bone-in Florentine steak). Good average food and quality, the wait was too long to eat and have the wine, which among other things they had written wrong on the paper, selling it as a mixed blend (merlot, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon) and instead we got a different bottle, which in any case having seen it had taken half an hour to get it and we had already eaten the greeting from the kitchen and were waiting for the second course, we kept it that way. Side dishes proposal of the day: potatoes and mashed potatoes... mmm... oh well, offering two side dishes from the same tuber leaves me perplexed, therefore, separately (15 euros!) I order an extra side dish of sautéed vegetables. Exhausted by the heat and the long wait, as well as by the strong wine, we ask the second course (1 sharing dish) who we paid 165 euros for meat and extra side dish, to prepare a takeaway for us, as we will have finished it at another time, dividing 5 small pieces of chosen meat and the side dish of vegetables separately, of which a small part had been eaten; well, once home, having opened the only tray received in a bag, I find the meat on the bone (not requested!) together with the vegetables thrown on top in direct contact (HACCP at the top) in an aluminum tray, like garbage . Sorry but we're not there... respect is the basis, also considering we spent almost 250 euros between two for 3 total dishes without desserts, coffee or anything else! Praise to the cook who prepared the mashed potatoes. No apologies or discounts or digestive/coffee offered for the wine mistake.
