A Wonderful Place immersed in the Mountains. Excellent quality of food. I went with my family today on Christmas day. I recommend the appetizers of an above-average quality and the first courses with unique research into flavor and authenticity.... I will definitely return to the Vecchio Castagno as soon as possible..!!!!

Beautiful experience. Excellent food and friendly, friendly service. Average prices. Simple place that perhaps needs a refresh but still very clean. I'll be back!

Authentic flavors and welcoming atmosphereCulinary experience that combines tradition and quality. This restaurant is an ideal choice. Immersed in nature, the restaurant welcomes you with a warm and rustic atmosphere, perfect for a lunch with friends.The starters are a triumph of authentic flavors that include locally produced cured meats, cheeses and crostini with seasonal condiments.The first courses offer a variety that satisfies every palate. From green tagliatelle with nettles to the original elderberry gnocchi, each dish is studied in detail and served with generous portions. The fresh pasta, strictly handmade, goes perfectly with the intense and enveloping flavors of the condiments.The service is impeccable: the staff is friendly and always ready to advise."Osteria d'Italia" Slow Food

Restaurant with starter on a well-stocked and basic palette for two people. Two excellent first courses with a wide choice. I gave up the seconds for the chocolate mushroom. Two bottles of water and 1/2 pleasant house wine. Two coffees. Price 68 euros. Place a little difficult to find; If you're not local, it's best to contact the restaurant manager. Advised
