Navertino In Borno

A wonderful experience at this charming mountain restaurant. Highly recommended for everything: food, service, and atmosphere. The dishes are refined and meticulously crafted. From appetizers to dessert, everything was exceptional. Highly recommended

Great experience! Well-prepared dishes, friendly and attentive service, make you feel immediately at ease. The price was average, but absolutely fair. The food was good and the atmosphere was great: I'll definitely be back.

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
