Stepping into a hardcopy of an American diner we soon realized that this place is really informal…read more The staff seems to be a group of friends that brought the American cuisine home to Italy from a road trip in the States. They are wearing T-shirts and the place is full of American flags and hard maple furniture. When you look through the menu it becomes clear that they want to keep a little of the Italian kitchen alongside the American. We got some smoked ham and bread as a starter. Southern European taste, which was fine. We then moved on to the main course where we had a double burger and penne gorgonzola respectively. If I were to only review the burger it would get 2 stars. The bread seemed to be the cheapest you would get in any supermarket. The beefs were tasteless and not completely done. The good thing was that you got full but it cost €12. The penne dish was as you'd expect but the cheese was maybe too strong for a Dane (-) and there was not much meat. It was also a bit disappointing that they didn't have any American beers but rather Danish, Belgian and German. The place is suitable for families with a big playground outside. Groups of friends but maybe not for a date. Three stars for getting full, friendly staff and low price

The menu is largely of the region with traditional valtellinese dishes. The portions are a good size so if you plan on ordering a primo and secondo, go hungry. We enjoyed the seasonal porcini salad. It was excellent and a must try if you're there during porcini season. For primi we ordered the gnocchi and the tagliolini carbonara "valtellinese" style. We shared the grigliata bastonata. We also enjoyed an excellent local Nebbiolo with our dinner. The service was super attentive and kind. We'd definitely return to this restaurant.

BAR Cristall was located across the street from our hotel. We popped in there for a "late night"…read moregelato, probably around 8:30 pm. It was lively and packed with younger local clientele. Our visit was quick, as we had our three year old with us. But the gelato was great. We ordered vanilla and hazelnut. They also had a full bar for cocktails, beer, wine and a lot of amari. This side of town is a little more residential/hotel, so it was very convenient not to have to walk across the river into the center of town for a good gelato.
