Ristoro dello Scoiattolo

Tyrrhenian Coast


Perched at 1600m, near the base of the Mufara ski slope, this rustic year-round restaurant is Piano Battaglia's perennial favourite spot to indulge in reasonably priced dishes of pasta with mushrooms or wild boar ragù, roast pork loin and other hearty mountain fare. Cosy up by the fireplace or enjoy panoramic vistas from the outdoor deck.
