Trattoria Gatto Rosso - Val masino

I visited here a few years ago and took a diversion to revisit again but was left both disappointed and pleased. Pleased it appears to have new owners and has been tidied up a bit and pleased with a nice selection of starters and wine but our main reason for stopping was to have a pizzoccheri. The pizzoccheri was very disappointing as there was minimal potato and no cabbage basically pasta and cheese. We even mentioned it to the young waiter and he took no notice. In addition we were also charged a cover charge for our 18 month old baby who ate no more than a few mouthfuls. We paid and left as we realised the waiter wouldn't understand it was not correct or wouldn't care again. We had 3 starters all of which were very nice, meatballs, sliced meats and sciatt, 2 primi (pizzoccheri) and no mains or desserts, 2 coffees, 1/2 litre of nice red wine and a litre of water for 47 euro

Ogni volta che passo attraverso la valle del mello salto al gatto rosso. si mangia bene, il personale è sempre gentile, c'è una vasta scelta di piatti vegetariani e il valore per il denaro è grande.

Non essendo del posto, ho trovato i piatti del ristorante molto buoni. I pizzoccheri e la polenta taragna erano eccellenti per me. Forse i prezzi sono un po' alti per essere un locale di montagna.

Ottimo pranzo in famiglia. Sala ben riscaldata, visti i primi freddi, servizio attento e molto rapido (praticamente zero attesa fra una pietanza e la successiva). Abbiamo mangiato antipasti misti in condivisione (ottimi e abbondanti), primi davvero gustosi, carne, polenta, funghi (da leccarsi i baffi) e gli ottimi dessert della casa. Che dire, dopo una mangiata simile, non abbiamo potuto fare altro che una bella passeggiata nella Valle, ammirandone gli splendidi panorami. Torneremo sicuramente. Bravi, continuate così.
