La Papoteuse sur Janze

17/05/2026: When visiting festivals we enjoy finding places nearby to eat and sometimes you find true gems among the few local restaurants. This small place was packed full with locals, and for good reason. The food was excellent, some of the best Italian food we've had on our travels, including those in Italy. The lasagna, dish of the week, was sublime. We've returned multiple times over the weekend to try the other dishes. Give them a shot and order some excellent pasta following the original Italian recipe and ingredients.

17/05/2026: Quick and efficient service: less than an hour to enjoy the main course and dessert. A lovely touch upon arrival with a small ricotta amuse-bouche that immediately sets the mood for Italy. The Cortina pizza is reminiscent of an Italian version of tartiflette, with excellent Italian cheese, local mozzarella, and guanciale instead of bacon, which gives it a truly authentic flavor. However, be aware that some pieces of fat can make it a bit oily. A little more onion wouldn't go amiss. Also worth mentioning is the tiramisu, perfectly balanced: light, indulgent, and not cloying. A nice bonus: the restaurant is open on public holidays. And finally, a big thank you to Lorène for her wonderful welcome!
