"A historic city restaurant, overlooking Aosta's main square, has been brought back to life by the passion of young chef Paolo Griffa. It offers colourful, balanced and contemporary cuisine, available in 3, 5 or 7-course tasting menus. Always attentive to the harmony of flavours and chromatic beauty of dishes, the chef demonstrates a growing skill in handling vegetables, as evidenced by the vegetarian dishes always on the menu. The service is of an excellent standard and the wine offerings of great depth. Of course, as the name suggests, some spaces are dedicated to excellent coffee, equipped with an excellent pastry corner, making this place recommended for any time of the day, from breakfasts to aperitifs!" - Michelin Inspector

Great place to enjoy the piazza and the surrounding. Great cafe with beautifully made pastries. Some of the pastries are just art! Staffs are nice and professional too. We went there for food but ended up trying only their pastries which were really good experience.

We came in the morning and there was no food, only pastries and coffee. We had a croissant and a Mont Blanc tartlet, as well as well as coffee and hot chocolate. All was delicious and at a very fair price. People watching and the grand piazza provide wonderful atmosphere and views. Recommended

We recently dined at Paolo Griffa ristorante and were absolutely delighted. The menu, based on local ingredients and featuring exquisite combinations with mountain flowers, was both innovative and delicious. Each dish was a masterpiece, beautifully presented and full of unique flavors. The service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. We also appreciated the impressive wine selection, which perfectly complemented the meal. Paolo Griffa is a must-visit for an unforgettable dining experience that celebrates local cuisine with a floral twist.

An unexpected gem in the centre of Aosta. We were on a drive in the area and decided to have a pit stop in Aosta and came across this cafe with wonderful pastries. It seems to be connected to a Michelin star restaurant and the quality of the pastries definitely reflected that. The outdoor but warm seating area was a wonderful place to sit down and enjoy a tea with some cakes, we were so impressed that we decided to take some pastries home for the next morning.

The desserts looked amazing and had so much flavor! It was very much worth the money. It was a very cool experience being here and the atmosphere was very pleasant. The bathrooms were very clean, too. The chef happened to be out and cordially greeted us, recommending us one of his favorite desserts and it was absolutely splendid! I definitely recommend this place, especially if you are touring!

Having seen the advertised speciality coffee the previous night we decided to come here to have breakfast and coffee. What a terrible decision. The coffee is not at all speciality coffee, actually the coffee that we had in a little village (that was not a "specialty coffee") was so much better. This experience ruined my morning, I had to give a negative review for this. Barista had also no idea about coffee beans or things like this.

Most delicious tasting menu with chef who clearly takes pride and care in every dish he prepares. It was an honor to enjoy Chef Paolo's amazing food.

Omg the best croissants of our lives! (and we had many😅) Wow, dough and fillings all just perfection! Very nice service too even on a very busy day - great cafe in the heart of the town in a beautiful old building.
