This simple yet welcoming family-run restaurant is situated on the wine route that wends its way through the hills behind Sondrio, less than 5km away. The dining room boasts a cheerful open fireplace (also used as a grill), while an attractive outdoor terrace offers fine views of the valley. The cuisine focuses mainly on local recipes and ingredients, with some main courses cooked over the grill.

This long-established restaurant just outside Sondrio has been run for the past decade by Gianluca, whose experience injects new life into traditional dishes from the local region, as well as introducing the occasional Mediterranean twist. There’s a simpler menu at lunchtime, plus a good selection of local wines and cheeses on sale at takeaway prices near the restaurant entrance.

If you like to dine in a lively, modern atmosphere, the restaurant of Hotel Giardino Mountain is for you. The interior design marries chic contemporary touches with rustic wood. Service is attentive and professional. Most importantly there is the Mediterranean and Swiss cuisine, which prioritises aroma and flavour and is made using fresh, often regional ingredients. At lunchtime, the menu is simpler than in the evening. The terrace is a lovely spot when the sun is out.
