5 stelle meritatissime per Acqua Pimpante a Gressoney! Un ristorante che sorprende e conquista dal primo all’ultimo piatto. La cucina è da “stellato Michelin”, con abbinamenti ricercati, ingredienti di qualità eccellente e una cura nella presentazione che lascia a bocca aperta — ma con un conto più che onesto* alla metà del prezzo rispetto a ristoranti dello stesso livello. Il locale è pulito, curato nei dettagli, accogliente e con un tocco caratteristico che rende l’atmosfera calda e raffinata allo stesso tempo. Il personale è impeccabile: educato, disponibile, preparato e sempre sorridente, capace di far sentire ogni cliente coccolato. Una vera perla a Gressoney, da provare assolutamente per chi cerca un’esperienza gastronomica di alto livello senza formalismi. Ci torneremo sicuramente!

Ottimo ristorante. Ho preso tagliolini al ragu di guancia e funghi e pomodori secchi, una cheescake salata alle olive e acciughe del cantabrico e coscia di faraona, tutto squisito, i tagliolini veramente eccezionali. La prossima volta prendero due piatti di tagliolini. Complimenti al cuoco

Siamo stati domenica sera per cena. Abbiamo ordinato inizialmente due primi e due secondi: i tagliolini sono piaciuti così tanto al mio ragazzo che ha deciso di ordinarli di nuovo! Il cibo è stato davvero eccellente, tutto buonissimo, con sapori curati e ben equilibrati. Per dessert abbiamo scelto un tortino alle mele e uno alle pesche e mirtilli: purtroppo entrambi un po’ sottotono rispetto all’ottimo livello delle altre portate. Il servizio è stato nella media: i ragazzi in sala gentili, presenti quanto basta, anche se senza particolari attenzioni o spunti memorabili.

Absolutely incredible! This was hands down the best risotto of my life—rich, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavor. The panna cotta is delightful surprise - absolutely delicious. Bravo to the chef! The service was impeccable. Extra points for the excellent music selection, and it was a joy to see (and hear!) the chef singing while cooking with passion If you ever get the chance, don’t think twice—this place is a must-visit!
