Restaurant Il Vassallo In Chiesa in valmalenco

Whenever I happen to be in these parts I always go back willingly: the sciatt and the tzigoiner are always very good.

I consider it the best location in Chiesa Valmalenco and surrounding areas, however they could make a further leap in quality in the food, in the presentation of the dishes... the food is certainly not bad but they could do that little bit more to achieve almost perfection. We have eaten there so many times over the years and we are always left with the belief that there is always a little something missing for the place that it is.......

We had lunch in this restaurant on a Sunday, upon reservation. We had already come a few years ago and had eaten very well so we returned and this time too the food was absolutely delicious. I was able to enjoy a nice plate of sciatt and the superrrrr pizzoccheri! Even the dessert we had, I had a meringue pie and my husband had a homemade tart, they were delicious. Beautiful location, good value for money, absolutely recommended.

I highly recommend Silvano is very good in the kitchen and everyone in the dining room is friendly! Well done and congratulations

Vassallo is a restaurant with a typical Valtellina style and taste but stands out from many others for the excellent quality of the dishes and the wine. Tagliatelle with venison ragù, pizzoccheri, sciatt and tzigoiner are truly excellent. The staff is kind and prepared; the price is competitive

The dishes are generous, the meats are from another world, very good, the gnocchi excellent, very good desserts. If you're lucky and win it, the house limoncello is good 😀. Mauricio is a good administrator, always attentive.

Very nice and typical environment, very particular. All the food was excellent

The mountain atmosphere is beautiful but modern and welcoming (there is a huge stone behind the counter). All bresaola-based dishes and schat are recommended

Vassallo is the best restaurant in Chiesa in Valmalenco. We have been frequenting it all our lives and the atmosphere we breathe always remains the same. It's one of those places where when you go you already know what to expect, and that's what you want. The sciatts you can find here are in my opinion the best in the area. Fried well, large, crunchy with lots of buckwheat to give flavor and colour. For the first courses, their pennette are a must, a favorite dish, 80s style, based on ragù, mushrooms, cream, truffle cream and lots of parmesan (as in many of their dishes). Parmesan which however I find a little excessive in pizzoccheri, which in my opinion makes them not at the level of the other proposals. If you stay in Valmalenco for several days you will have the opportunity to binge on pizzoccheri in other places, here I recommend you break off with something else. Like their risottos, very tasty, but keep in mind that they serve at least two (as well as the pizzoccheri mentioned above). As for the second courses, their meat is buttery, melting in the mouth, tasty: from the zigoiner, their main dish, to the simple grilled fillet. For desserts I recommend the walnut cake, which is simply perfect, with a well-made and balanced pastry. The classic braulio sorbet is also good, except for the panna cotta, which didn't convince us. To conclude, I would say that going to Vassallo is like taking a leap into the past, made up of timeless dishes, well executed with unfortunately not so generous portions. Unfortunately because they are simple dishes, which reach the throat, without pretensions, but with a great impact on what will be an evening dedicated to the good food of the past, eaten between stone walls typical of an immortal place.

Nice interior friendly staff food to review
