Ristorante Osteria da Nando Cucina Tipica Aosta

Excellent restaurant in AOSTA

LOCATION 10/10 : Well located in AOSTA center, easy to reach.

STAFF 10/10 : staff of the restaurant is welcoming and well prepared.

QUALITY OF FOOD 10/10 : high quality food and dishes very well prepared

PREPARATION OF FOOD 10/10 : We took one of the available tasting menus. 5 courses plus cheese and dessert. Everything was really good. Good choice of flavors and ingredients

TOTAL 10/10 : For me one of the best restaurant in Aosta. We went there to celebrate a special day over lunch. We stayed there for quite some time (until 15:30) but the STAFF didn't complain and they were actually happy about our celebration in their restaurant. Overall a great experience.

If you are in Aosta I strongly suggest you to go there, but be sure to make a reservation in advance as the restaurant is quite small and don't have many tables.

Fab food, well-priced. Make sure you have the veal stew!

The service here is much more pleasant and helpful with better wine recommendations than multiple Michelin-starred meals I’ve had.

Would love to come back here one day!

Excellent local food with polite and efficient service. Great local wine selection at reasonable prices. Wait staff speaks English and French also. Highly recommended.

Cute little restaurant in aosta Main Street.
We went for the seven course Degustazione with wine pairing. Each and every course was fantastic and typical for the region, also great wine pairings which went along very well. What we liked a lot was that the waiter always took a lot of time for us and explained the wines and courses in detail.
Highly recommend this place!

Excellent place to taste the local cuisine.
Authentic. 5 stars service.

We had an excellent experience at da Nando. This restaurant seemed less geared towards tourists and more about the true Aosta culinary experience. Our server, Paolo, was excellent and patiently explained the different dishes to us, as well as explained each dish as he brought it to our table. The food was unique and very good. While we did not have the wine pairings, I was impressed at the very reasonable price. We also highly recommend the meat platter as an appetizer as well as the peach dessert. We were surprised at the end of our meal as our bill was beyond reasonable. We will certainly be visiting again. Thank you Paolo for making our dining experience special.

A well-developed menu and professional, hospitable staff compliment a proud foundation of regional fare. Small, cozy dining room. Not overcrowded. Booking ahead is necessary, as it seems the small dining room accepts one group per table per night. If you do book ahead, you are clearly welcomed to sit and enjoy as many beautiful courses as desired. As for me, I’ll return.

Great food, atmosphere and service. A true Italian gem.

Great hospitality, service is friendly and attentive
One of the best we have been to

Just a fabulous Aosta restaurant. The food is excellent often with a clever well thought back story. The bagna cauda is superb. The cabbage and fontina agnolotti a take on valpelline soup was incredible. There’s an excellent Aosta wine list which the owners are incredibly passionate about. Great friendly service.

Great food with excellent staff, made to feel very welcome.

This family run restaurant in a cozy space on one of the main drags was a pleasant surprise with its menu choices of local food and wines. We chose one of the fixed price choices of 5 dishes, each paired with a glass of wine. 3 dishes would have suited us better- we barely made it out, we were so full. My veal chop came on a sizzling platter, cut tableside by "Momma"- she cut all the orders of veal at the various tables and it was quite a show. For the 4th dish, we each received a bountiful cheese plate- mine was a selection of cow cheese and my husband's was goat cheese. The son was our waiter and he moved from Italian to French to English with relative ease around the restaurant. The restaurant seats around 25 at any one time. It was delightful and the son went out of his way to explain each dish and the wines paired alongside. Several families with small children were also eating here- child friendly! I will recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Aosta.

The caramelized onion with the warm cheese and cold Fontina gelato on top is one of the best things I've ever eaten. This is a true family run restaurant on a pedestrian street with nonna in the kitchen preparing delicious local dishes and the rest of the family providing friendly service and great beer and wine choices. Buon appetito!

Amazing traditional food, a true gem 💎 of Valle d’Aosta. Top quality and awesome service. Try not to miss the polenta, which is exquisite, or the legendary fondue de bourguignon, which is going to make your day a better one. As a dessert we tried the Tarte Tatin, which is possibly the best we ever had. The restaurant is Family run and you can see the dedication and love that goes into it. Prices are very moderate, considering the ingredients, quality and execution.
If you're lucky you will also stumble across celebrities that are filming nearby (Happened to us), as this is a place of choice for connoisseurs.

I read (Very few) negative reviews and I wonder how biased they are. Either these people had a bad day, or they do not understand the first thing about food. I see them praising conventional burger joints in Milan, extremely expensive and pretty mediocre as food goes and lash out at this restaurant. You would not be able to eat an appetizer at this price in Milan and taste is taste, I understand, but sometimes good is just objective and this Osteria deserve nothing less than 4 stars to 5 stars. Beware of obviously biased negative comments.

😊👍😊👍🙏😋

Perfect dinner and very knowledgeable servers. The food looks simple but the taste of each meal was perfect. It was a pleasant experience! Grazie mille

Lovely experience, delicious food, great service in a wonderful ambiance!

A seasoned traveler and a hunter of good food, I will put Nando on my top 20!
The family works hard and it shows, the love comes pouring from the kitchen and it stays with you way pass desert!
Do not pass it by, better yet... make it a destination

Definitely a good restaurant...friendly staff...cozy atmosphere

Small and cosy place run by the family with authentic local quality food. Highly recommend when you are around in Aosta.

Excellent place to taste the local dishes. I will surely return here to eat on my next vacation in Aosta.
