Agree with most reviews below! A relatively small place, tucked away just down the main street in Courmayeur, so be sure to make a reservation, for any night of the week. Food is really good, simple, authentic, very Italian, very affordable, and large portions, for those of you with a big appetite! A simple decor, like a nice informal enoteca!... More

Lovely couple who own it gave us a great local wine tasting with local cheeses and meats. Haven't eaten there for dinner, but would think it would be worth a go.

Excellent service, very good dessert and local wine (recommend the Torrette Supérieure at € 4.50 a glass). 2 courses, a glass of wine and coffee at € 19 per person. Strongly recommended. There are some dishes (e.g., lasagne) that are only available on 24 hours' notice - so book ahead.

I've always been in love with Italian food but I think I never truly knew what Italian food was about until I had 2 dinners in Al Vecchio Torchio...The food is DE-LI-CIOUS...Absolutely no words to describe Simone's lasagna (and carbonara) and Giorgia's desserts! You have to taste it to believe it! I just wish I could taste some of their... More

When my friends and me were planning our trip to Courmayeur, I had found some good reviews about this local restaurant and all of them turned out absolutely right!! Fantastic lasagna! But you should book your table and this meal in advance, especially in overcrowded time. Special thanx to Georgia - enoteca's sommelier! Amarone was wonderful!

Due to a coincidence we found this little restaurant which is a bit outside of Courmayeur "centre"; at about 3 minutes within walking distance. As we are having a dog (Bernese Mountain dog), we were not sure whether we could enter the restaurant with him. But they were very friendly and they assigned us a nice table. They have tipical...

I found this restaurant through TA. It had one review due to opening in January 2010. I made contact with the reviewer and they kindly gave me the email address. I emailed to receive the phone number and then called and spoke to a lovely woman named Giorgia, she and her husband Simone own the restaurant. We exchanged greetings and... More

I visited this enoteca, small restaurant in mid June 2010. I picked up the flyer in the Tourist Information Centre. It is slightly out of the centre, but well worth the find. The food, wine and service was excellent. The hosts, Simone and Giorgia were lovely. My husband had what he described as "the best lasagne ever" here. If we... More
