Ristoro Alto Matanna In Stazzema

An excellent refreshment in a beautiful place in the heart of the southern Apuan Alps. Environment with a lot of history run by young people, excellent dishes, reasonable prices.

The road is not very easy and very narrow.

Eat on site and take away, delicious ricotta and cheeses made by them, delicious

I return after a few years to the legendary Alto Matanna refuge. Always beautiful, evocative, magical, the animals, the atmosphere, the panorama between Garfagnana and Apuane, the authentic family-run place, the starting point for excursions. You can eat their products, farm with cheeses. Bar, sandwiches, ricotta, eggs, first courses. The dogs, the geese, the ducks, the kitten, the goats, the horses. Honest prices, excellent hot espresso food, giant tricolor sandwich. Homemade sweets. The non-existent cleanliness in the bathroom certainly needs to be reviewed (there is no toilet paper, hand paper, soap, dirty tiles, toilet out of order): with all the amount of people passing through, hygiene and functionality are essential. To be seen again, cleanliness inside and out, and rubbish thrown here and there. Absence of safe food for celiacs, there is nothing at all, just packaged ice cream. You can't even eat the cheeses because there is no care in the handling between cheeses and bread. Bring food from home in this case.

Unlike any place i have ever been before. Truly magnificent. Location wise, but everything else is just perfecto as well. Staff is incredibly friendly. Food is exceptionally delicious and very fresh. I love how they displayed all their trophies, trinkets and taxidermy. I appreciate the authenticity of the place. I had the time of my life, watching all the animals. Ducks and their ducklings, chickens, goats, sheep, horses, cows, and all the lovely dogs! They do know how to get people to give them leftovers…very cute. Thanks for making my day! I hope to be back one day.

perfect oasis and refreshment during excursions in the area

Una delle cene migliori (e a buon prezzo) della mia vita. In questa struttura producono quasi tutto in autonomia (carne, pasta fresca, verdure ecc.) e si sente e come!! le pappardelle al ragù erano fuori di testa, la bistecca forse anche meglio!! il tutto in un contesto bucolico pieno di animali, con i cavalli e le mucche al pascolo; ho visto un'attenzione verso il rispetto degli animali che mi ha fatto apprezzare questo luogo ancora di più. Trattasi inoltre di un'attività completamente familiare, il "nonno" è uno di quei toscani "di montagna", forse un pò di poche parole all'inizio, ma che quando inizia a parlare lo scolteresti per ore: "la campagna è tutto, la gente di città deve andare in palestra, deve fare la spesa...qui in campagna si fa tutto con il lavoro, e si segue il ritmo della natura", lo adoro:)

Affable people, animal lovers, ready to have a chat and involve you in their daily life. Ricotta and lemon cake made by the spectacular hostess. Homemade cured meats and cheeses, absolutely worth trying. Anyone who doesn't appreciate all this, in my opinion, doesn't understand the work that goes into managing a place like this. Go to the coop to buy ham!!

We were guests in this refuge for one night and had a great time! The family that runs it was very welcoming and helpful, excellent food, clean and carefully maintained place. Thanks again for everything, hope to return soon!

Dietro consiglio di mia figlia siamo arrivati al rifugio Matanna che ci ha rapiti subito per l'accoglienza del luogo. Tra sentieri da percorrere, animali che vivono liberi nell'aia quelli tenuti nelle stalle quelli al pascolo non sai dove guardare. Ovviamente c'è anche un grande orto. Il ristorante è gestito a conduzione familiare e propone solo pietanze che derivano dalla loro produzione . Dai formaggi alla carne ai prodotti della terra. Possibiità di poter dormire. Adattissimo per i bambini. Il resto scopritelo da soli. Noi ci siamo ritornati piu volte
