Mammalia In Sestriere

It's a beautiful restaurant, the decor is typical but be careful!!! As luck would have it, it's impossible to pay by credit card and the bill is steep, written in Italian. Impossible to decipher! The "food" is very basic, the owner encourages you to order deer or wild boar meat, the bottled water arrives already opened 🥴, (probably tap water). No menu for aperitifs because only in the evening! Italian wine 🍷? Well, then a basic German beer charged without having seen the menu... the surprise later. So an aperitif board for 2, two beers 🍺, a coke, a lasagna, ravioli sprinkled with parmesan, polenta with a piece of beef cheek (cooked like a pot-au-feu, tasteless) 2 desserts, again without a menu to check the price... Well, 126 euros. So I'm going to ask for an explanation because the French know it well, eating in Italy is much cheaper than in France. Last time in Sestriere for 2 we paid 40 euros!! Aperitif, antipasti, two dishes and two desserts!?!? What is this madness? The boss when I asked him to explain the bill not very pleasant, and by the way 9 euros service charge, lol the first time I pay service charge! So run away, on the snow front the restaurants are excellent and really cheap and the menu ♥️. September 2025

Good food and great service... I recommend

We had a wonderful lunch. Excellent products and excellent food... A little pricey, but then again...
