If it is your first time trying Valtellina cuisine, pizzoccheri are definitely the classic dish to order.
Why go
Taverna Valtellinese suits anyone who wants a more traditional dinner, different from the usual pizza or tourist restaurant.
It is a good choice for a quiet evening, especially in autumn or winter, when hot mountain dishes are even more enjoyable.
It is a recommended restaurant if you want to taste typical flavours of northern Italy in a well-kept, welcoming setting.
