We loved this place and went again the next day. The food was excellent, all the way across the menu. Despite the name, there's nothing gargantuan about it - it's a small, family run place. The first night we ate inside and it's decorated in a quirky, eclectic, charming manner. Literally everything we ate was delicious. The menu changes, so no point in recommending anything, probably, but the tiramisu was the best I've ever eaten!

Perfect restaurant for some delicious Italian food! Restaurant has a cozy atmosphere. We went here 2 times in one week as we loved it the first night. Daily pasta was really nice as well as the wines and dessert.

Just had a great evening. The owners were incredible characters. Quite charming and some truly authentic Italian cooking. Try the octopus. Very good wines.

A unique place with the perfect menu for your third day in Aosta, when you'll be bored of the 3 main dishes every other place offers. Slightly experimental, just to the right point without being weird, delicious and still totally fitting with the mountain context. Everyone was very nice and the place is very well kitted for kids with lots of colouring and reading books. Our favourite dinner of the holiday.
