"We visited Il Portico twice for lunch. On both occasions the experience was excellent. The eclectic upstairs dining room has a warm rustic county feel with a twist. The host Mario Super Mario is very accommodating and friendly he speaks English too . Mario always made us feel special and treated us as if we were longtime customers. The menu appears to vary a good thing as it was different on each visit. The food was well prepared and delicious with a wide variety of offerings from over both our visits which included anti-pasta, salads, pasta, beef, lamb, pork and vegetarian choices. We never bothered to ask for a wine list and simply ordered vino bianco or rosso and were never disappointed. We found the prices to be very reasonable for such a wonderful dining experience. I 'm sure we 'll visit again. Note: There is a large parking lot across the street; up the steps, but the entrance is up the road around the corner."

"No welcome upon arrival we found our own table without the help of the waiters… the service from then on was quick. The food was of a good quality but the price is high the portions are small… the cheese soufflé was oddly cold in the middle; the beef fillet was perfectly nice but 28 euros! For this you expect more the fillet was actually two small slices of fillet with three ‘slices’ of fondant potato and a small pile of spinach… the atmosphere was okay but overall this is a rural restaurant which was trying too hard to be exclusive… in two we spend 90 euros on two antipasti, one primi and one secondi… with water and one glass of wine (for the one who wasn’t driving)… expensive for what you receive… would I go back in a hurry? No… would I consider going back again? Maybe but I think there are better options in this area at that price."

"I have visited this place twice and had one good night and one bad night. The place is very pleasant inside and the staff very helpful and has a nice touch when the head chef comes to your table for a chat! However the reason...I eat in a restaurant is for the food and unfortunately this evening it wasn't good. 2 of the anti-pasti were insipid and small small portions. 1 of the second courses was not cooked thoroughly, the chef did apologise which was kind of him. The service was slow both evenings, even when it's not full. Overall, the place is lovely and relaxed, but unfortunately the rapport between price and quality is not justified."

"Consumer prices, 7.5 € to 0.4cL beer, price absolutely above any other place, especially for beer offers, qualitatively under the beers present in other premises. If this is not enough 2€ covered. At least the food is good and the waiters seem prepared. Edit local response post: In response to what he said, I do not question the choice of raw materials, and I understand that with the increase in costs of the same a slight increase is inevitable, but it does not take that regarding the same raw materials cost, the price of beer is excessively high, at a similar price we should offer the best proposal of the area and unfortunately in this case it is not so"

"We had lunch in this restaurant on December 26, 22 and I can say it was worth it. Typical restaurant of the Aosta Valley cuisine with stew accompanied by polenta concia, excellent dish, accompanied by a good wine of the house. Fast service and honest prices."
