Dominated by stone arches, this welcoming eatery off Courmayeur’s pedestrian strip, run by the Garin family of nearby Auberge de la Maison fame, serves up tons of atmosphere along with elevated takes on traditional Valdostan dishes. The large menu offers a choice of hearty tried-and-true plates such as grandma’s salad, with ham, eggs, Mont d’Or cheese, and boiled potatoes, along with lighter fare like salmon trout with savoy cabbage.
Just off Courmayeur’s pedestrian center, this charming restaurant with beamed ceilings and wildlife pictures on the wall is truly a family affair: Stefano Alessandro Marchetto cooks, his wife Monica hosts, and their twin sons are the sommelier and server. The cuisine leans toward modern versions of Valle d’Aosta cuisine with unexpected twists, like the risotto with mountain pine and sturgeon; while you can order à la carte, trying one of the tasting menus lets you sample the full range of their inspired offerings.
