A warm and welcoming mountain restaurant in Illegio, with heavy wood-beamed ceilings and a beautiful hand-carved bar. The plate of cold cuts and cheese is excellent, as are the mountain mushrooms and polenta, the slow-cooked pork cheek and the fragrant apple strudel. It's hidden down a small alley off Via Lovea.
