Let me start by saying that we ate well: generous dishes, cooked to a perfection that even exceeded our expectations. The place is beautiful: a well-kept and clean little house in an excellent location. The staff is friendly and helpful. However, if I have one criticism, it's (unexpectedly) about the bill: 2 appetizers, 1 first course, 1 second course, 2 desserts, 1/2 liter of wine, water, and coffee, €83 (over €40/person). Of course, it's nothing out of the ordinary, but for a genuine inland osteria, I expect the bill to be a little lower. We'll be back!

We had lunch with friends by chance one Sunday, returning from a motorcycle ride, inspired by two reviews. We were welcomed in a warm setting with a lit stove, a bit old-fashioned but with its '80s charm... excellent, plentiful dishes, and made with quality ingredients. The prices weren't low, but they were average, and considering the food, I'd say they were justified. Congratulations. We'll be back.

A good restaurant on the road in Osiglia. Weekly menu for €12, including a first course, a second course with a side dish, dessert, water, and coffee. Healthy, home-cooked food.

I was with a group of six mountain bikers and we stopped here for lunch for their menu of the day. The menu included pizza, a dish of assorted local meat and cheese, followed by pasta, and then dessert, wine, water, and coke all for 15 euros. Food was simple but good and the staff was very friendly.

I've been here twice, a couple of years apart. It's a lovely trattoria, a quiet place, excellent food, and very friendly and helpful staff. For those visiting the lake, it's a pleasant stop for lunch or dinner, just a few minutes from the highway.

Affordable and always busy trattoria near Lake Osiglia. Contrary to what other reviews have said, we didn't find the service particularly slow. The atmosphere is friendly and the service is courteous.

Simple trattoria on the road from Liguria to Turin, trying to avoid the coastal highway (so a convenient stop for dinner). Sunday evening was practically deserted. The menu isn't extensive, but the dishes are decent. Friendly staff. Prices are reasonable.

I went to the "C'era una volta" restaurant this Sunday with the intention of having lunch, but unfortunately, the experience was completely negative, despite not even being able to try the food. Upon arrival, I was informed that on weekends (Saturday and Sunday) dining is by reservation only. Since we hadn't made a reservation, we were unable to sit. I fully understand that reservations may be necessary, especially on busy days, but I believe it's essential that this information be clearly and prominently displayed on online channels (such as Google and your TripAdvisor page). Finding yourself at the door and then discovering that you can't eat due to an unpublicized rule is extremely frustrating and highlights a serious flaw in customer information management. I hope this constructive criticism leads to improved communication online and on-site, to prevent other customers from experiencing the same unpleasant surprise. I will gladly update this review (and hope to give you a much higher rating) when I have the opportunity to return, this time by booking, and finally taste your dishes.

I can only comment on the tourist menu, the only option for lunch. The menu is sparse and poorly cooked. I don't know if the food is better in the evening, but what we had for lunch today was truly awful! I've never had such a bad meal! Highly not recommended!
