I discovered it by chance while browsing restaurants in the Domodossola area on Google Maps, and in the end I decided not only to eat there but also to sleep there, and I must say it was the perfect choice.
First and foremost, the helpfulness and hospitality of the staff. The lady who welcomed me made me feel at home right away and accommodated all my requests, even before I arrived.
The hotel is rustic in style, housed in the rooms of an ancient palazzo in the small historic center of Vogogna. The furnishings are basic, but the rooms are very spacious and warm. It's wonderful to wake up in the morning to the sound of the bells of the nearby church and the mountains of the Ossola Valley. The price is incredibly affordable (€50/night in a single room + a croissant and cappuccino for breakfast).
As for the restaurant, I was lucky enough to try it for dinner upon my arrival, and I must say the dishes were all delicious, from the marinated Fassona beef tartare with truffle mustard to the raviolini del plin with fondue and saffron sprouts—everything was exquisite and prepared without being pretentious.
I really enjoyed the menu, featuring local specialties. Well done!
The atmosphere is reminiscent of times gone by, with the typical warmth of a tavern.
I highly recommend this place, both for the food and as an excellent stopover for nearby Domodossola and the foliage train.
I'll be back. Thanks for everything.

In the historic center of Vogogna, overlooking the stone rooftops and the mountains of the Ossola Valley. Well-maintained, clean, and tidy rooms. Truly phenomenal cuisine, even the workers' menu. Truly satisfying and a regular stop. Recommended for everyone.

I didn't stay, but my rating is based on the friendliness, service, and food, which I particularly appreciated for its quality and quantity.
It was a pleasant stay in the company of the very courteous owners.

Very kind and helpful staff. Truly good food, top-notch platters.
I'm now a regular customer, and I haven't had a single occasion where I remember anything out of place.
Highly recommended.

We went there on August 15th, booking ahead of time, 8 of us, I'm a vegetarian, but not all of us got a first and second course. I had a delicious risotto with mushrooms and blueberries, my grandchildren devoured pappardelle with hare ragù. My daughter-in-law's tagliata was delicious and so was my husband's tartare. Quality local and goat cheeses, the desserts were fabulous, the staff were knowledgeable and friendly. If we're in the area again, we'll be back, and there's a beautiful castle to visit just 5 minutes away. ☺️

This restaurant was recommended by local friends. We went there for lunch after visiting Vogogna Castle.
Excellent food and simple, efficient service. Even on Saturdays, there was a fixed menu for €14, which included a well-cooked first and second course.

Locale nel centro storico, cortesia e velocità nel servire. Ottime le pappardelle e la tartare di manzo. Prezzi nella norma. Consigliato
