Navertino In Borno

After a few years I'm returning to the Navertino restaurant and I'm lowering my previous rating (5) by one star. If I could, I'd give this latest experience a 7/10. Prices have continued to rise. The culinary growth hasn't kept pace, in fact it's perhaps taken a step backwards. I found the staff to be warmly welcoming, and the owner even smiled a little more than in the past. And that's good. The place remains very pleasant, in a lovely location outside the town but easily accessible; well-furnished in a modern mountain style, with plenty of warmth from the wood. The table settings are simple, but attentive in their thoughtful intentions. In short, a place I like, which recalls tradition and at the same time looks to the future. The prices, in my opinion, are excessive compared to everything (in the end 47.5 euros per person, which isn't cheap). Personally, I really enjoyed the onion soup, expertly prepared. One of the best I've ever tasted, for me (10/10). The bread is good (which is always important). A good wine from the upper Camonica Valley (a Merlot). The spaghetti with cod was decidedly below expectations: the citrus was too intense, the flavor of the savory cod was too subdued, and the pasta was too sticky to the fork (5/10). My companions tried a venison tartare (I also tried it: 9/10). A plate of local cured meats and cheeses was judged to be of good quality. A mushroom dish, the ingredients of which I don't recall, but which I enjoyed tasting and found to be original (8/10). The dessert was rated satisfactory by the companions. A grappa. The impression is of an attempt to take off that hasn't yet been fully achieved (except for the bill); perhaps a justified ambition, but still in need of concrete development. It remains a place I recommend for those who want to break away from the simple mountain trattoria model and try some well-crafted experiments with local ingredients. I hope this review will be useful both to the restaurant and to food and wine travelers.

Warm welcome Nice location Friendly staff

This place is surrounded by greenery and located right next to two ideal walking trails. It's very quiet, and the breakfast offers high-quality products. The room, although complete with all the comforts, is a bit too retro for my taste, especially in terms of fabrics and colors. The staff is helpful enough, but not always very personable, and I would have appreciated more detailed explanations. All in all, it was a nice experience, although I found it a bit expensive.

The food was exceptional! Highly recommended.

Il Navertino is a trattoria, in the truest sense of the word. A very charming and welcoming atmosphere, fast and courteous service, and truly excellent cuisine, with a good quality-price ratio. We plan to return!

We stayed one night in this beautiful location. Surrounded by nature. Beautiful and clean room with a balcony overlooking the mountains. Beautiful spa and sauna available to guests. Superb breakfast with homemade products. Helpful and super friendly staff. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended!!

Truly everything was top notch from the courtesy to the relaxation to the cuisine, a beautiful place to rest and enjoy the mountains

We stopped for one night at Navertino. We had a wonderful time! Warm welcome, clean and lovely rooms. The terrace with a hot tub (maybe plan on keeping it a few degrees cooler 😂) and sauna (closed in the summer) was beautiful! We also had dinner at Navertino and were pleasantly surprised by the quality and deliciousness of all the dishes. The collection was superb!! We'll definitely be back!

Very nice and welcoming place, the owner is kind and helpful, pleasant sauna and whirlpool, refined cuisine and well-prepared dishes. The casoncelli are a must-try, they are a delight... convenient for walking to the nearby refuges... finally, the breakfast is excellent and plentiful, all local products.
