Morgenrot - Gressoney-La-Trinité, Aosta Valley

Summary: Too pricy for the quality of the food and the service.

Our dinner in that restaurant disappointed my boyfriend (who is a local) and me quite a lot.
To start with, the service was very long. Hard to get the attention of waiters even when not too far, my boyfriend had to stand up and go look for them several times to ask something. The menu was on a table close to ours, so we could take it ourselves, otherwise we would even have waited more.
He ordered a glass of wine but was served only half of an average portion.
Regarding the food, we were first disappointed by the bread that was dry and not really good, the same bread as the one we could buy in the supermarket closeby. For a restaurant of this standard we were expecting a bit more.
The pasta we took were good, but the porcini tagliatelle were nothing special, maybe lacked a bit of taste.
We were still enjoying our dinner, until something quite odd happened. My boyfriend ordered a piece of meat topped with cheese and truffles. He just started eating it, when realising that something was moving: there were living worms. We signaled it to the staff, they were sorry and brought us a new plate. But after this episode, my boyfriend had lost his appetite, knowing that he probably ate worms.
I think that this kind of incident can happen in every restaurant, so here is not the problem. However, besides excuses, no gesture was made to compensate us for the inconveniences. We still paid the full price (more than 50€ per person). Just offering the desert would have been appreciated and we would have felt more sincerity in the excuses.
It's a bit sad, he knows quite a lot of good restaurants nearby but wanted to try a new place that was supposed to be of good quality. It was not the case this time.

We went there for drinks and food. The steak was one of the best that I had. However, it was a bit pricey. I think it was worth it.

Good selections of drinks too.

This is one of my favourite places in Gressoney. Amazing food, and an epic view to accompany. The walk to get there is worth it 🙌

Delicious sirloin steak (Sottofiletto di Garronese) and a decent bottle of Barbera d’Alba. The lamb shank (stinco d’agnello) was a bit tough. Lovely building and dining room. Proper toilets are a bit of a luxury in this area.

It was busy, so it took over 20 min to get menus, but we weren't in a hurry, so it was ok. Normal service, good food and very nice place overall.

Best restaurant on the Mountain , a hidden away gem of a place with fantastic food and service. We had lunch on the terrace and could not have been better
