I get the chance to travel a lot, and I'm not one to try touristy places when it comes to satiating…read moremy palette. I originally stopped by Osteria Monti to buy a bottle of wine, but when I saw the menu I decided I needed to come back for dinner. It's a very quaint restaurant, with absolutely fantastic local dishes, and local wines abs grappa.
The atmosphere is great, it's not lake front, but the interior is very modern and clean, and the back patio has a great view of the mountains.
The service was FANTASTIC! The owner / chef was present when I purchased the bottle of wine, and he couldn't have been more knowledgeable and pleasant. The two girls that served us had great personality and charm. Sometimes a restaurant can have terrible food but great service, and you still walk away happy. This restaurant had the BEST of the both.
The food from start to finish was absolutely delicious. Fresh, flavourful and very well presented. A tartare appetizer with a regular salt, smoked salt and spicy salt, along with an avacado mousse, and aged Parmigiano. How can you go wrong from here?
I'm not going to describe every item I had because I don't want to ruin restaurant goers from trying something other than what write about. Go here! Try everything! You will not regret it.
Buon appetito!
