Risturant al Bernina : Via da Mezz 63, 7742 Poschiavo

Some friends and I arrived in Poschiavo on trek from Thusis to Tirano. We walked in the center of town to find a market and lots of restaurants. It was too crowded and too noisy. We luckily stumbled on Risturant al Bernina. It has a lovely, quiet patio. The menu is extensive but we all ordered from their very large selection of pizzas forgoing other options of traditional Italian dishes. Our waitress Elena spoke excellent English and was very helpful. The pizzas were very large. I was positive I would not be able to finish it. The combination of hiking 20km in the mountains and the quality of the pizza enabled me to eat the entire pizza. In fact, I had dessert. Elena explained to me how to eat the Sicilian cannelloni so I would not make a rookie tourist mistake and upset the chef. . If you stumble into Poschiavo like I did or arrive by easier methods you should definitely visit this delightful restaurant and if you’re very lucky, Elena will serve you.

Last night we had dinner at the Bernina restaurant! The place is very nice and welcoming, the staff attentive to our every need! They recommended this off-menu dish "scialatielli with tuna tartare" and what can I say if not EXCEPTIONAL! We will definitely be back to try the other dishes!

Everything was really great. I highly recommend the restaurant and especially the paccheri with wild boar ragù. Very, very good.
