Don’t miss a stop in these places!

If you wonder what the best typical restaurants in Bormio are, here you are in the right place.

If you are planning to stay in Bormio a few days, you have to taste dishes of our tradition! We recommend them accompanied by a good glass of red wine from one of the famous local winery.

Among the most well-known typical dishes, Pizzoccheri takes the crown: rustic noodles prepared with buckwheat flour, seasoned with cooked vegetables, butter and alp cheese; the Sciatt, curious name of crispy round pancakes stuffed with typical local cheese; and Bresaola, a traditional local cold meat, made from salted beef with the dry method.

These are just some of the dishes served in the restaurants we recommend below, but we assure you that you will discover many more!

We start by talking to you about a unique dining experience. For lunch or dinner with friends, it’s the place! The environment is familiar, friendly and pleasant. We are talking about the VECCHIA COMBO tavern.

On every occasion, the restaurant will make you feel at home, and human contact is a rule. The dishes are still the same as ever: genuine as Grandma Augusta taught.

Another positive note: on summer days, it also offers the outdoor garden, space not found elsewhere.

We love eating there with friends or family, at least once a month. Children can freely move on the large lawn that houses the wooden tables. Also very suitable for large groups.

The only limitation: when choosing the outside, the temperature must be pleasant! The cuisine is tasty and plentiful; believe us, you will come out of it satiated, and you will return for sure!

In addition, after lunch or dinner, you can enjoy a walk through the pedestrian streets of the centre, also discovering the historical and cultural side of the town, with ancient and decorated palaces and churches.

LA RASIGA is another one of those places you can’t miss! A unique location and grat dishes of typical Valtellinese cuisine.

It’s only open for dinner and features a rich menu of traditional dishes, such as barley soup, pizzoccheri, sciatt, manfrigole, shin and baked pork ribs. We recommend it to those looking for a truly original place to eat well.

It is the perfect combination of a historical design and good food, where to go and then return again and again. We’ve never been proven wrong: try to believe!
