Osteria del Crotto In Morbegno

13/03/2025: We went there for the first time last Thursday for lunch and had a great time! After we sat down, they offered us a taste of their bresaola, which was truly delicious. We ordered the schisciat as a starter, which are a little different from the sciat but just as good. They have a square shape and are filled not only with cheese but also with bresaola. As first courses we had chestnut tagliatelle with taleggio cream and speck and manfrigole, which are crepes rolled up with stringy cheese and bresaola. One was better than the other, really, we did a great job getting them. The manfrigole in particular were delicious and if we were to return I would definitely get them again. As for the tagliatelle, perhaps the speck could be improved by choosing another type of cut because it was too thin and too dry and hard. Still feeling a little hungry, I also ordered the mixed grilled meat (there were pork ribs, beef/pork fillets I think, a lamb chop and a small sausage) with polenta, grilled vegetables (courgettes and peppers) and potatoes. The meat was perfect, soft, flavorful and cooked to perfection. I left the polenta with my boyfriend who is crazy about it and I think he liked it. The vegetables were done well and the potatoes were perfect both in cutting and cooking. Finally, to satisfy our sweet tooth, we ordered the buckwheat cake with blueberry jam. The cake itself wasn't bad, despite it being a type of dessert that isn't one of my favourites. The main problem was the temperature: too cold since it had probably just been taken out of the fridge. I don't know if this could be improved in some way, perhaps by heating it a little before serving it. We also took water and a glass of wine and spent around €57 if I'm not mistaken. The place inside is nice although not very large, but we were lucky enough to end up at a table of 4, so you can't say we were cramped. The service was also more than correct as well as quick. I absolutely recommend this crotto to anyone who wants to come to the area and be on the safe side. The food is really good!!!
