I took a well-deserved out of office day and, together with my friend “Chef,” we set off on a beautiful hike from the parking lot just below the Campo dei Fiori Observatory up to Forte di Orino — about ten kilometers round trip.
On our way back, my friend treated me to lunch at Osteria Irma, and what a treat it was! The whole experience was simply splendid: warm hospitality, genuine courtesy, and dishes that felt both comforting and refined.
The fried porcini mushrooms were out of this world — crispy, golden perfection — while the sciatt were an irresistible explosion of flavor that had us smiling with every bite. And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, the crema catalana sealed the deal: silky, fragrant, and absolutely worthy of praise.
Special mention goes to Arianna, the maître, whose kindness made us feel at home, and to the Osteria’s chef, not only talented but also wonderfully friendly.
From today on, Osteria Irma officially enters my list of restaurants worth the trip. Highly recommended for anyone looking to combine nature, tradition, and unforgettable food memories.

A nice and service-oriented mountain restaurant. We ordered a dish of black pasta (made from black wheat grown in the area) with teff and spinach, all topped with melted cheese. Oily and delicious

A good restaurant at the top of the Campo dei Fiori, with a polite waitress. I recommend it.

This tavern is run by very kind and attentive staff.
The artisanal popsicles and cured meats are excellent.
A gem nestled in one of Lombardy's most historic and scenic corners.

Typical local cuisine. Great welcome and very good dishes. I really recommend you book or arrive from 2:30 p.m. But be careful, I think the kitchen closes at 3:00 p.m.

Located in the Campo dei Fiori park, lunch under the trees. The menu is excellent, but only carmese. Allergies and intolerances are welcome.
The staff is young and friendly. Reservations for lunch would be helpful. A wonderful experience that I recommend.

A restaurant that never disappoints with its specialties. Although the journey to reach this height is not the easiest, it's always worth it. The location is very rustic but pleasant, especially outdoors, and the staff is very helpful and friendly.
Their pizzoccheri and polenta concia are a must-try if you love Valtellina cuisine, but their other dishes are always satisfying!
