And their dishes speak for themselves... Fragrant land-based offerings and a few lake specialties, served also outdoors on a panoramic terrace. The pair show great respect for seasonality and possess deep knowledge of their supply chain and sourcing. There's a strong focus on game, strictly from Ossola. In addition to the à la carte menu, there's the "Sentiero" tasting menu, a summary of their ten years of work. Both the wine list and the selection of wines by the glass are noteworthy.
