Days of Pure Pleasure

At the Hotel Orso Grigio, each day unfolds in harmony with flavor. It begins with breakfast featuring the finest regional products, continues at midday in the Bar dell’Orso, where light dishes and fine wines invite you to linger, and culminates in the evening with a gourmet menu that changes daily.

Between these culinary moments, there’s always time to enjoy a coffee, an aperitif, or a glass of wine. Authentic, seasonal, and relaxing — from the first bite to the last.

Good morning!

Whether you’re an early riser or like to sleep in, our breakfast buffet and à la carte meals awaits from 7:30 to 10.30 AM. Not lavish, but carefully curated – our breakfast offers a balanced selection of food and drinks, including products from the local dairy, local farmers and small producers. In summer, breakfast is also served on the terrace in front of the hotel.

Evening – The Highlight of the Day

When evening falls, our restaurant truly shines. In a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, Chef Rocco Ferraro and his team delight guests with a refined three-course menu that changes daily — offering choices of meat, fish, or fully vegetarian dishes. Quality is our absolute priority: every plate is prepared with care and every flavor perfectly balanced.

Caring for every taste: Our kitchen gladly accommodates all dietary needs. A vegetarian menu is available every evening, and on request, we also prepare vegan or gluten-free meals — and, we thoughtfully cater to special diets and food intolerances.

More Than Just Preparing a Dish

For Chef Rocco Ferraro, cooking is about sharing joy as much as creating flavors. He loves meeting guests directly, listening to their impressions and personal requests. Once a week, he opens the doors to his culinary world, inviting guests to a cooking class — a chance to go behind the scenes, discover little secrets of his craft, and share in the joy and passion of exceptional food.
