Old Grizzly Cafe' In Aymavilles

Fantastic place, excellent food! Excellent first and second courses, but especially the meats. The venison was sublime, then the bison...reindeer... We ordered a second course. Even though the portions were already generous, it was worth it. Chef Gianni (take a moment to say hello) is truly amazing! Must try.

We went for lunch on December 30th, without a reservation. It's our second time here and we're always happy. The ground-floor dining room is very nice. The food was good quality and excellent value, especially considering the area. The food was good, especially considering the presentation. The free meatball tasting before lunch and the mandarin parfait were appreciated. We tried the mocceta and tartare appetizers (excellent). The gnocchetti, ravioli, and taglierini were all very good. The wine was also good. Compliments, recommended, we'll be back.

Very good and unique dishes (I recommend the spaghetti), friendly staff, and reasonable prices for a mountain restaurant. Plus, the restaurant is very cute!

Great find in August. Friendly staff. Excellent food. Very close to the castle. Highly recommended.

Attentive staff always available good 👏

Lovely restaurant, very kind and attentive staff. Excellent and beautifully presented food. Quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Convenient parking. Thank you! We'll definitely be back. I recommend it!

The food was delicious. The tiramisu was fantastically presented. But overall, it wasn't very Italian...

How do you sum up a place like Old Grizzly? Simply amazing! Chosen primarily for its proximity to Aymavilles Castle (about 600 meters) and the excellent reviews, I stopped in thinking I'd eat good food, but without any particular expectations. The menu, however, was much more unique and delicious than I'd imagined; it was truly difficult to choose what to try, but in the end I opted for fried porcini mushrooms with aioli sauce (fried beautifully, and the sauce was a wonderful accompaniment) and mirtuccine with fondue and berries (wonderful, a perfect combination of the softness of the cheese and the acidity of the berries). A special mention goes to the dessert. I don't think I've ever taken so long to decide what to order; everything looked excellent, but in the end I chose the deconstructed tiramisu. It's one of my favorite desserts, but I never order it because I'm always disappointed, much less dare I hear "deconstructed" (usually a prelude to pastry tragedy). However, I was won over by the excellent quality of the previous dishes. It was exceptional, beautifully and elegantly presented, excellent coffee, spectacular ladyfingers, and a rich yet delicate cream, absolutely perfect. Another positive note: they serve an amuse-bouche before starting (unfortunately, I didn't get to try it, but it looked lovely) and a small pre-dessert (mandarin and vodka sorbet, delicious and perfect for cleansing the palate, especially after fairly fatty foods), a truly pleasant surprise. The staff are kind and attentive, the atmosphere is very unique, refined, and fun, and the price is absolutely right for the quality of the meal. It's just a shame I live too far away to return often!

We returned this evening after several years, what can I say, excellent dinner, very courteous staff... we ate very well, everything from the starters to the dessert was excellent, and then we had a honey grappa made by the owner, what can I say, I went to heaven... I love this place

A pleasant discovery, found by chance on the road. Excellent food (deer steak 😍) and excellent service!
