Wow, just wow. I meandered spontaneously into this gem of a place as a solo traveler. Our tour…read moreguide had recommended 2 other places, but I know from experience that their suggestions are typically limited to pre-negotiated arrangements with the owners and/or locations that can accommodate larger groups. As a policy, I always look for my own spots. I found this pasta place based on its high ratings, grateful it was open out of season. It is small, so it cannot accommodate very large groups, but it is an exquisitely charming spot. The atmosphere is outstanding: Swiss vibes all the way and killer music (think We're Together by Jack Johnson and Downtown by Petula Clark). In the spirit of any place who wants to master its food, they do not have 1 million options on the menu. I got the Bruschetta (their house specialty) as an appetizer, and their Fresh Pasta (Meat) option of the day which came with a sage pesto sauce and crisp bacon. My photos do not capture the depth and comfort dimensions of the flavors, but I tried! Pasta is meant to be warm and cozy and filling, and this delivered. Balanced by the delicate flavors of sage, extra-virgin olive oil, and freshly grated cheese. I rarely finish my meals and asked for the rest to go, which did not seem to bother them one bit. The service was excellent. (Even the bathroom was cute, could not help but take a picture there) A true gem!

Best to make a reservation hours or 1 day in advance to get the better table in the back room surrounded by wine racks. Matteo was amazing with expert knowledge in all available wines and very fun demeanor and very attentive service. We ended up purchasing many bottles of wine (that we had tasted through their numerous wine tasting menu) and had them shipped back to the States right on site. If you like wine paired with amazing meats and cheeses, this is undoubtedly the place to go. Also recommended by all the locals we interacted with. Enjoy!!

We travel around the world, however waiting for a table for 90 plus minutes after being told it would be 20-30 minutes just is just not acceptable ANYWHERE in the world...

It's a small operation that does it right. I had the most incredible bruschetta of my life. A white buffalo style creamy cheese layered on toasted bread with fresh, red full flavored tomatoes. This is not the traditional version but order it. Their wild boar pasta was excellent along with the cacio and pepe pasta. The pasta was cooked to perfection. The service was good, kind owner, cutest location and small menu is delicious. How this is flying under the radar I'm shocked. We ate at some of the highly touted restaurants and were underwhelmed by other reviewers recommendations. I loved, loved this small, precious and special little gem.

The red wine was local, with the same grape made for Barollo but with a different soil leading to a similar but different taste and it was magnificent. I had one glass, switched to a Chardonnay recommended by the waiter, which I enjoyed but preferred the first glass so I switched back for my third. All in all after four glasses of wine and a bottle to go the bill came to 94 euro, which I felt was reasonable. Each glass comes with a small snack. When I'm back in Varenna I will be back here.
