We really did not know where to eat and we wished to eat early. We found the café on the corner and decided we would try it as it was one of the few that were opening up. The food did not disappoint and we found the prices for 2 main meals with out dessert and wine good at â¬37.

A very good little restaurant in the middle of town, and a great find. Excellent food, one of our best meals in Italy, traditional prawn cocktail for starters followed by Irish (!) Angus steaks, one with a brilliant mushrooms in cream sauce - really delicious. Good desserts. Good valpolicella classico eased it all down very nicely. Good service though we had a small hiccup due to language incompatibility, but no problem and easily resolved in a pleasant friendly manner. A much better dinner than our hotel provided. Can well recommend.

Our favourite place on the mountains of Gressoney. The staff were all so friendly and recognised us as returning guests every day. The bar was great for a pit-stop but the restaurant served the best Italian food. The carbonara is amongst the best I have had (and I travel the world trying carbonaras!) Very clean and well presented in an old building right by the ski slopes. I cannot recommend enough - book for lunch when you stop for a hot chocolate in the morning.

We were completely ignored when we enteted ans greeted staff with 'good evening'. They were avoiding any kind of interaction since they couldn't speak any English. When I slowly tried to make an order, waitress quickly argued, shouted and waived me off arrogantly not even trying to make an effort to understand few simple words. We had to spend couple of minutes with dictionary decoding Italian menu. Food wa OK-ish (rather tasteless), service was supremely slow. We have ordered desserts and cappuccino but left before the coffee was served, bored as hell. Or maybe more frustrated than bored, as always pissed off and utterly grumpy waitress was kind of entertaining (but should be made redundant asap). Rather avoid, there are many better options to go for in the neighbourhood.

Strolling around on a lazy Sunday we decided to enter this small and cozy restaurant near the Saint Vincent Casino. From the outside it looks modern, but in the inside, with all wooden tables, furniture and details, it has a warmer atmosphere. Food was delicious and well displayed. They offer a very traditional menu, with lots of typical Valdostani dishes. Price is quite reasonable but we did not drank any wine so. Staff is very polite and charming although they do not speak English (maybe more French) but we managed to have a pleasant lunch! Recommended!

Small and non descript locale, but everything right, and friendly, good vibes.The food was simple yet extraordinarily well prepared, we ordered a tagliatelle with truffles, that were very early for the season. Strange weather, very hot with breaks of downpours, made for early truffles. The tagliatelle very much al dente, and perfectly 'mantecati ' without dripping in sauce, an amazing taste and result, perfectly paired with a light and reasonably priced Barbera. A real surprise, of a find, outstanding food, service and reasonably priced. Just doing it all well

On the main street in Saint Vincent, an easy reach wherever you stay in this small town. Excellent service from when we stepped in, got a nice table. The restaurant is cozy, in a perhaps semi-modern way. We sat down, enjoyed it, and dtarted selecting our dinners. For my starter I went gor a selection of local cheeses, with honey, syrup and two chutneys. Very good. Main: Grilled Wild Boar, excellent! Served with marinated cabbage, which is a brilliant companion to the perfect boar. Wine: a local Fumin, which seems to be the typical Aosta Valley grape. Strong in taste, balanced, not too high tannins, very drinkable and an excellent companion to cheese, as well as wild meat. I was very happy with the meal, the service and actually everything, and based on our experiency I dare recommend Le Petit Bijou as a very good dinner alternative in Saint Vincent.

From the moment you get the the excellent breads and the 'amuse bouche', which is in fact a whole dish filled with delicacies prepared with a variety of techniques, ranging from tempura to a spherification of tomato, you realise you're in for a good experience. The menu reads very well and you want to try everything, but we were in for a light dinner and we limited ourselves to first/starter and main. Cappelletti pasta with ossobuco had a very good filling and sauce (pasta slightly brittle). Moelleux of asparagus was a refined and flavoursome starter.The mains were great: I've eaten many ducks, but this breast was one of the deepest tasting and best cooked I've tried this year. The accompanying meatball would also have been perfect except for a bit of overcooking which reduced moistness. The artichokes going with it however were ideal.And a lamb featured again good and nicely cooked produce, but what elevated this dish were the garnishes, including dates, dried roses and a chickpea puree (described as hummous though I don't think there was any tahini).We skipped desserts, but with our tea excellent petit fours were offered which promise well for the patisserie section... Beside the quality of the produce and the technique, there's a pleasant sense of generosity in this restaurant. The room is warm and impressive and tastefully decorated, in a former granary. Service is competent and polite. Food prices represent quite good value for money considering the quality (and even the quantity, which is higher than average for restaurants of this quality). A place to return to at the next opportunity.

We walked in one evening only to find out the place was fully booked. So we booked for the next evening and ended up eating here again because we liked it very much.This is a more casual place compared to some others but very good value.The main feature is the huge pizza oven. The pizzas were really good, and the pizza list is a kilometer long (that is approx 0.6 miles for our English friends :-)). We tried the steaks as well and liked them, too.
