The raw selection under Crudi di carne del Rifugio stands out for its boldness, featuring Tartare, Tartare affumicata, Tartare con burrata, Tartare con Gorgonzola, and a mixed tasting of Misto crudi Tartare e carpaccio e involtino con ricotta, clearly designed for those who appreciate beef in its purest form.

The main courses elevate the menu further, especially the meat-focused Filetto al pepe verde, Filetto al gorgonzola, Filetto piemontese, alongside Straccetti bovino and Scaloppina al vino bianco, reinforcing the restaurant’s strong carnivorous identity. Side dishes such as Cicoria ripassata, Radicchio grigliato, Radicchio su ghisa con scaglie di parmigiano, Verdure grigliate, and Patate al forno provide classic accompaniments that complement the richness of the mains.

Desserts are equally traditional and comforting, with Caprese, Tortino all'arancia, Tortino al cioccolato con cuore di nutella, Crema catalana, and Panna cotta ai frutti di bosco offering a satisfying close.
