A place that makes you feel at home, with incredible service. A place where home cooking and class come together, with a polenta reminiscent of a dish your grandmother used to make when you were little, and a fine wine. This place, discovered by chance, amazed us and will remain in our hearts forever.

Lunch at La Ramasse ranks among the finest I've ever had. Host Marco's hospitality makes you feel instantly at home, in an already intimate and refined mountain-style setting. The menu and wine list are impeccable. There are a few dishes here, but they're well-chosen; you absolutely must try the Tomini with jam and, needless to say, their polenta. Marco's care and passion for wine selection is evident in the labels on the list and his skill in recommending the perfect bottle. If there's a musician among the diners, a post-lunch concert is guaranteed thanks to a station with drums, guitar, and bass: poetry. Homemade liqueurs and sweets round out the experience in the best possible way. Few places have left a lasting impression on me like this one: it will be a pleasure to return as soon as possible, even from the Veneto.

Excellent! Professional owners, welcoming and very clean atmosphere, delicious food, a wide selection of wines carefully selected by the owner, who knows how to recommend dishes based on the chosen course. The menu offers a variety of choices and very fair prices for the excellent quality. The chef is a kind person who conveys her love and passion for her work in her dishes! Highly recommended 100% +++

Reviews often only talk about the food or the wine... here you have a unique experience where the food and wine take you on a journey that retraces the values ​​of life and tradition... it's up to the diner to grasp them... Marco and Laura are unique and there is a lot to learn from them!

A well-kept and welcoming place, with a very friendly owner. We ordered the cured meats appetizer and the trio of dishes, both excellent. Then we had two portions of polenta and a dessert. To finish, some excellent amaro and alcoholic sugars. I recommend the place for both the food and the atmosphere.

A truly lovely little restaurant, well-maintained and super clean, everything in the right place, the owner is friendly and welcoming. We stumbled upon it by chance when arriving in Moncinisio. We enjoyed the antipasti, the polenta concia with toma cheese, butter, and sausage, and the polenta with tomato and sausage. We finished with two desserts, including pears cooked in red wine and a tart with a superb gooseberry jam. Liquor offered by the owner. We will definitely be back.

This place is a gem of the mountains - a small family restaurant focused on a single local speciality and doing it excellently. The polenta of course was delicious, the kind that makes you want to eat it without any additions to complicate it, but then the options - tomato sauce, sausage, cheese - are also so good it's impossible to ignore them. The antipasti and salumi were fantastic, and there's a great selection of wine. We'll definitely be coming back.

Alfonso Contino

Come in and forget about having your phone, immerse yourself in a world where the cuisine and the atmosphere are the masters Tasting menu with a platter of cold cuts, bacon with honey and peppers in bagna cauda Followed by the queen polenta accompanied by sausage in sauce and in the cheesy version the polenta concia House dessert, bitter coffee and... to conclude with a roll of drums with the inevitable communion, Marco in the dining room and his wife in the kitchen will make you feel at home. A great experience to share with friends and family, reservations recommended

I decide to brave the gale and drive to the restaurant, following Marco's advice (a wonderful host...). It's a shame that the nearby parking lot is impassable due to 30-40 cm of snow... other than that, it's a beautiful, intimate, and warm place, serving traditional Piedmontese cuisine, from excellent cured meats and appetizers to delicious polenta, concia, and sugo. To round off the meal in style, let Marco administer the sacrament of communion at the end of the meal... you'll remember it for a long time!

I came across La Ramasse cycling from the valley up to Mont Cenis, on the back road. And I’m glad I took this road less travelled because the hospitality, generosity and conversation with Marco, the owner, over a lunch of salumi and cheese, was why I travel and why I travel by bike. It is worth the detour from the main road if you are in the area. And if you go on weekends it sounds like that not only will you find polenta, you’ll be in the middle of a party of friends, with homemade amaro and music in a friendly and wonderful atmosphere. So what are you waiting for?!

I arrived with my wife on a Monday in January 2025. We parked in the snow next to the restaurant without any problems, especially considering I'm a keen snow and ice driver. I immediately appreciated the family atmosphere and the owner's friendliness. Excellent appetizers and platters! The two polentas were special (one with Toma and Brie, the other with sausage and a Provençal herb red sauce). The bottled Dolcetto wine was excellent. However, I wouldn't limit guests' choices to the bottled wine list. For a less formal approach to polenta, I would also suggest a more economical option, with a good wine by the glass, in addition to the option by the glass, which isn't particularly attractive in terms of quantity/price ratio. The dessert was also very authentic, and, like everything else, thanks to the owner's wife!

Locale molto carino in un bel contesto paesaggistico. Menù limitato come del resto le porzioni. Vini esclusivamente in bottiglia. Il servizio è quello che fortunatamente si ha in rarissime occasioni e mai dal titolare ponendosi sempre con arroganza a qualsiasi nostra richiesta ed invitati a leggere con attenzione il menù! Il conto salato, del resto la professionalità del titolare ha il suo prezzo. Eravamo in quattro persone, motociclisti viaggiatori, soliti a recensire locali in tutta la regione in comune accordo su quanto detto. Buon lavoro

We had lunch at this polenta restaurant (always make sure to reserve at least a few days in advance) because it doesn't have many seats. Appetizers: We had the charcuterie board, which was really good. The trio of tomini cheeses was good, but perhaps the portion was small for the price. Then we had the polenta concia with grilled sausage. We expected something more; there wasn't much concia, not much cheese, and not much sausage. The service and welcome were exceptional; the young man who works there was really kind and helpful, and the wine was good. Overall, a good lunch, a bit pricey, and the polenta wasn't as satisfying as we'd have hoped.

Poca scelta, vini solo in bottiglia, porzioni da nouvelle cuisine ben impiattati, ma nulla di che per il cibo. Formalismi e ricercatezza in un locale di montagna, stonati.. La polenta di soli due tipi è una delusione. Per capire la differenza forse bisogna andare in altre valli. Bell ambiente, ma quanto a simpatia lasciamo stare...Più umiltà e meno formalismi sarebbero apprezzati... Un ambiente accogliente e rinnovato in un posto spettacolare, motivo delle due stelle, deluso per il resto. Frequentando spesso I diversi ristoranti e essendo stato in cucina io stesso, nn capisco le recensioni positive... In risposta: Mi spiace nn ero quella persona ma quella di fronte che non ha mai detto nulla, ma nn ha apprezzato il comportamento. Scusi se qualcuno di noi non io ha fatto troppe domande... e doveva leggere meglio il menù... Anche chi si siede va rispettato.. Io comunque parlo del cibo e probabilmente non ho visto quanto descrive nel menù...Ma ho parlato di quanto ho mangiato... ascoltare le critiche trasformandole in insegnamenti fa parte del mestiere, Ma certamente non si può insegnare a chi già lo conosce bene. Forse troppe trasmissioni ci hanno preso la mano.. buona giornata.
