You mush try the surprise menu, as many others restaurants in Valtellina should do : a tasting menu with small portions ! Excellent wine list, amazing desserts... Friendly service although should improve as the type or restaurant you expect to get a super professional service but you don't (wine was too hot when arrived, not served as it should, etc.)

Small pleasant trattoria in city centre. Up a small flight of steps and you are immediately welcomed by very cheerful staff. Fairly standard menu but the service is prompt the food well cooked and tasty.

We ate in a huge room without windows (the main restaurant was occupied with a wedding). The place was unbelievable noisy. The primo piatto arrived 5 minutes after we ordered, the main course before we finished the primo piatto. After 30 minutes dinner was finished. The food though was good. Go there if you want a quick dinner but for a relaxing evening.

Traditional restaurant owned by the same family from 1843. Serve local and typical dishes with a good wine list. Specialities of pasta, pizzoccheri, bresaola, polenta, meat, deer and a nice cart of desserts. All always home made.

This road-side restaurant is on the busy Sondrio-Tirano-Bormio route, and literally thousands of people must drive by it without noticing it. Which is a great shame, because it's got a strong local following and serves beautiful local-ingredient meals.We ate: local Pizzocheri, several different kinds of Bresaola, a potato-and-cheese dish called Tarroz, Deer fillets, home-cured vegetables.Unexpected dessert: wild strawberry Cheesecake! (a dish the owner's wife learned from her few years spent living in upstate New York, of all places).We drank: excellent value (10 Euro?) wine from the vignards behind the restaurant (the valley is dotted with terrific wine producers; Bettini, Fraccia and Nino Negri top name a few). I absolutely love coming here.

On a cool March evening we were traversing the mountain roads of Valtellina trying to find dinner somewhere near our lodgings in Tresivio. We had tried Ristoro Castel Grumello, but didn't have the foresight to make reservations, and they were completely booked for the night. Doing a quick look at the map, we saw Osteria Sole nearby, and decided to take a chance on it. Showing up at 8pm, we were the first people in the restaurant. Our host didn't speak English - not a negative in my book, it's one of the reasons to travel to lesser known parts of Italy, to avoid the typical tourist grinds - but he was extremely attentive and directed us to our table.From what we could gather the menu was fixed- an antipasto plate, sciatt and pizzocheri- the triumvirate of the regional cuisine. They may have well had other dishes, but lost in translation, this is all we could gather. As other guests, all local, all mainly families, started to stroll in, so came our food. Some bresaola, followed by sciatt, and pizzocheri. Now, I have no history with this food, so for me, I thought it was good, and probably a very typical, casual meal for people of this region. The setting is basic but warm, and you will not leave hungry. In fact, you will leave full, very full. You would do best to walk down the steep driveway back to your hotel or house just to stop your body from completely shutting down from a carb/cheese coma. Our waiter was adamant that we eat everything we were served, and for two people who don't typically eat that heavy, it was a challenge. I have no idea how everyone in the restaurant stays so thin. All that said, I would recommend Osteria Sole to get a true local taste of the region, and experience a night out with some locals. But come hungry, and maybe plan a good hike the next day.
