The atmosphere is simple and welcoming, with a room dominated by an open fireplace where polenta slowly cooks in the cauldron, creating a warm and authentic atmosphere. The staff is helpful and friendly, always ready to make guests feel at home. I recommend booking in advance: the place is worth it and fills up quickly.

We were at Il Focolare in early January.
The food we ate was delicious.
The price is generally a bit high, at least for the polenta and for the fact that the tablecloth and, if I remember correctly, even the napkin are made of paper.
Unfortunately, the smell that arises, and which clings to clothes and coats, when someone orders meat to be cooked on a soapstone, due to the lack of air circulation, is unpleasant.

I loved the refuge. The staff was smiling and welcoming. There were four of us, plus our dog. The place is pet-friendly, so you can bring your four-legged friends along without leaving them at home. I'm from Rome but live in London. The polenta with melted Bettelmat Alpe Regina cheese on top was divine. I loved everything about it: the location, the food, the interior. At the entrance, they even have jars of homemade local products, if you want to take a souvenir of the valley.

Excellent, I only recommend removing cobwebs from the lamps, definitely an oversight

We had lunch and enjoyed the best food you could ask for. The atmosphere is simple and welcoming, with an open fireplace where polenta is cooked in a pot. The ingredients are amazing and perfectly cooked. If you love polenta, you absolutely must try theirs; you won't find it this good anywhere else. The prices are fair.

We went on the recommendation of some family members who have been customers for years, and we weren't disappointed! Everyone was satisfied with the lunch, even the less "polentoni" ones ;)
Good selection of desserts; you won't be left empty-handed with those either.

It's a wonderful place. The atmosphere is rustic, warm, and welcoming. The dishes are refined and delicious; don't miss the dessert. Plus, they bring you warm gnocchi with your coffee!
