Trattoria Al Ponte De Riposo In Vo'

Excellent food and a lovely place. For my first course, I had risotto with Amarone and sausage, which was really good! The guinea fowl and the side dishes were also delicious. Congratulations!

Let me start by saying this isn't a polemical review, but I feel compelled to point out what happened today. A friend and I come here every year, and once a year we treat ourselves to a lunch at this restaurant, and it's always gone well. Unfortunately, something very unpleasant happened today. We arrived hungry and couldn't wait to enjoy our risotto. When we ordered, we said, ironically and with a smile, "A lot, maybe we're hungry :D." We laughed, and with obvious irony, a phrase said lightly and completely harmlessly to indicate that we were hungry and eager to enjoy the dish. When the dish arrived, we noticed that the portion was certainly generous (I've attached a photo), but still not excessively larger than the usual dish we order every year, and we even thought, "How kind of people, they made a slightly larger portion, really." With great disappointment when it came to the bill (actually, once we'd already paid, unfortunately, and were already on our way home), we noticed the "FIRST COURSE" item... €45, €22.50 each, just for the first course. We were speechless and incredulous, so we called to see if there was a mistake, and they explained that it was actually correct and that it corresponded to the request for "large". The only mistake was that they had actually charged us €3 more, so it should have been €42. So, from €14 for a risotto, which was supposed to cost €21 each (with the €3 mistake, €22.50!!). A plate of risotto, delicious, nothing to complain about, but it seemed truly excessive, and if we may say so, even dishonestly, the surcharge for these requests is neither listed nor told to us when we ordered. I would have understood a few euros more. But €21 (in our case €22.50) for an extra handful of rice—sorry, but it really seems completely inappropriate, especially considering that our comment was completely lighthearted and ironic, and we obviously didn't know it would cost more. We're two humble, honest, and kind women. We absolutely don't want to ruin this place's reputation, which is why we didn't give it a low rating because we respect the work of others. However, by the same token, we demand honesty and transparency, which is probably why we're forced to abandon our tradition and never come again, because we felt humiliated and, in a certain sense, "ripped off." We all work every day and are careful how we spend our money. €21 for a first course, "burned" like that... we would have spent it differently, not on an extra handful of rice. We're writing this so our experience can be of use to others and to advise (if we can) the owners to handle these things differently. We're sorry, that's not how it's done. I don't know how or if you can fix this, if you feel compelled to do so, perhaps from your perspective you think it's right... Certainly, some gesture to make amends would be appreciated, but we have no expectations that this will actually happen, unfortunately. Good luck, everyone.

The risotto was exquisite, and the main courses were also good.

Beautiful place tastefully decorated, super attentive and kind staff. Fast service and quality food. Their freshly made bread is delicious (a real treat), divine truffle risotto, special porcini mushrooms! I recommend ☺️ lots of choice even for very special desserts!

First time in this restaurant, beautiful location, welcoming and very clean environment, excellent food, sublime truffle risotto, highly recommended.

I had quite good porcini mushrooms and tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms. They have very few vegetarian options. They have three mouth-watering risotto dishes, too bad they were for a minimum of two people. They have many quite good desserts. The staff was a bit cold; we asked if the bigoli carbonara was made with egg, and they responded as if egg was a given, and in a "where do you live" way (our fault, because we thought carbonara was a Roman dish only).

We ate a truly excellent musso stew... also the guinea fowl was truly special and the prices were normal... congratulations

Delicious food, very welcoming and spotlessly clean atmosphere. The real plus is the people who work there.

Very well-kept place, excellent service, and even better food. Girls, congratulations on everything. I highly recommend it.

Perfect traditional dishes. The meat is special. Grilled steak and ribeye steak. A must if you're passing through.
