"This is definitely the perfect restaurant where to eat coming back from Sorgente del Piave. The staff is young and well prepared, they have a great pool of first and seconds dishes, with one of the best vanilla ice creams I've ever eaten. I hope to come back!"

"We stopped here after a climbing day on Peralba tower. The location is simply stunning and seating outside having a fresh beer is all you can ask after a long day in the backcountry! Unfortunately the kitchen was already closed when we arrived but they still offered a (pretty good) sandwich! Go for the local ham and cheese"

"The best way to arrive here is walking for 30 minutes. They have amazing local specialities. We are the ragu di cervo and canederli (first time I tried) and was delicious. The staff are very gentle and the service is good. Prices are fair and is a unique experience in a wonderful place."
