A charming, down-to-earth little trattoria run by a warm and welcoming owner who treats guests like old friends. Despite being incredibly busy, he never stopped joking with us and making us feel right at home - true Italian hospitality at its best.
The menu changes daily and features a small, curated selection of 3–4 options per course, from starters to desserts. Every dish we tried reflected honest, home-style cooking with a lot of heart. The zucchini blossoms stuffed with mozzarella and anchovies were rich, indulgent, and perfectly crispy. The calamarata pasta with fish was cooked beautifully al dente, with just a whisper of garlic that didn’t overpower the delicate seafood. The lentil and mackerel meatballs had a lovely crunchy exterior and were full of flavor. They were a little on the dry side, but the accompanying cream foam added just the right touch of moisture. Even the sautéed vegetables were simple but executed with care and balance.
The only downside was the location - the restaurant sits right next to a busy road, and the traffic noise did take away slightly from the otherwise cozy and intimate atmosphere. Still, the warmth of the service and the quality of the food easily made up for it. A wonderful spot for anyone looking for genuine food and even more genuine hospitality.

A restaurant to be discovered and that always surprises positively! It is not located in the center, but it is still a few minutes walk from the central square of Aosta. It always offers exquisite and particular dishes of Italian cuisine, from appetizers to desserts, with carefully selected ingredients from the area and a very good selection of wines. All accompanied by interesting and pleasant gastronomic explanations! One of the best and most interesting trattorias in Aosta. Absolutely to try!

If you are in Aosta and are looking for a place where you can immediately feel at home, Trattoria Ai 4 Amici is a must. In a simple and genuine environment, you are welcomed by the owner, of Roman origin, who with kindness and great availability knows how to advise every customer as if he were a long-time friend. The menu offers traditional dishes, made with fresh ingredients and with that touch of "real" flavor that is increasingly difficult to find.
The quality-price ratio is excellent: you eat well, you spend little and you leave satisfied, with a smile on your face.
An added value is the story that gives the restaurant its name: born from a strong bond of friendship between four companions, this story can still be felt today in the convivial atmosphere of the restaurant, where the customer is never a simple customer, but is welcomed like one of the family.
Ultimately, "Ai 4 Amici" is the ideal place for those looking for good food, honest prices and that sincere welcome that makes the difference.

Place simply furnished but very welcoming and familiar. The food is good and the service is excellent and fast. They are very attentive and friendly. Price quality online.
Ice cream with cake with a sprinkle of pepper on top is a gem.
You feel at home. Well done!
