Trattoria Del Simone - TIRANO

Ottimo il cibo accoglienza e simpatia. Una giornata bellissima.

We were recommended this restaurant by a local and the pilgrimage to get there up windy road was one thing, when we arrived. the welcome wasn’t exactly great, even though we had booked. They appeared quite busy, and we were shown to our table of two, the menu was in Italian fine . My wife had to translated as she’s Italian, we ordered an antipasto for two, which came to separate plates, so one plate was actually enough waitress could of mentioned , some local cold meats and some funny tasting buckwheat fritters vegetarian not to my taste … My main was lamb rack with fried potatoes apparently grilled vege appeared frozen … lamb was nothing special and you could of been anywhere in world with rustic presentation… wife didn’t order main course . I was still hungry and ordered ‘deer ragu pasta’… was okay a tomato-less bolognese style. Tiramisu for dessert… plate was cold, so obviously those were pre-made and stored in fridge ready for service… 64:50€ for nothing special… Personally, I don’t know how they are number three on TripAdvisor rankings for this local place, and I certainly w,ouldn’t make the pilgrimage to this restaurant but everyone has an opinion… Service wasn’t great either and Waitress appeared disinterested, with zero customer service. The annoying thing for me, a lot of the customers were having steak tartare which wasn’t on the menu. Apparently you have to pre-order so personally I thought that was wrong.

Beautiful scenery, superb homestyle family service and just the best northern Italian food I have ever experienced.

Serata fantastica. Locale accogliente, arredato con gusto. Personale cordiale, disponibile e competente. Abbiamo mangiato chiscioi e sciatt, fino ad arrivare alle torte fatte in casa: favolose! Sicuramente torneremo.

They have become a little too expensive! I love their typical foods, but prices went up too quickly, and some things (like sorbetto) are industrial
