There are places that, as soon as you discover them, you immediately feel they belong to you.

That’s exactly what happened to Matteo and his partner when they set foot in the current location of Osteria Cotti & Crudi in Albosaggia.

"It's ours," they thought without hesitation.

And how could one argue with that? This little gem of a restaurant has everything you need to feel at home: a warm atmosphere, genuine dishes, and a welcome that warms your heart.

Matteo, with a long experience in the restaurant business and several venues behind him, and she, who studied cooking and nurtured a passion for good food, decided to bring to life something different from the usual restaurant.

They were looking for a place that fit them, where they could experiment and create a family-friendly environment accessible to everyone.

And here they are, in Albosaggia, with a tavern born to warmly welcome customers. A restaurant that aims to fill a gap with simplicity and genuine cuisine.

As soon as you enter Cotti & Crudi, you immediately feel pampered.

They greet you with a glass of prosecco and an entrée to start telling you what kind of experience awaits.

Matteo and his partner are always present, ready to chat and create that atmosphere of familiarity that makes a difference.

Even the coffee is served from the moka, accompanied by a stand with dried fruit, because here every detail counts and every customer should feel like they are at a friend's house.

In the kitchen, there is a chef who, in addition to traditional valtellinese cuisine, juggles various creative dishes and a pastry chef who prepares delightful and irresistible desserts.

Alongside them, a skilled pizzaiolo, already known for his talent at Passatore di Sondrio, who with his skilled hands prepares mouth-watering pizzas.

But that’s not all: at the Osteria, everything is made in-house, from pasta to ravioli, to bread.

A focus that also reflects in the choice of ingredients, strictly fresh and as much as possible from zero-kilometer producers, carefully selected to always ensure the highest quality.

The menu ranges from typical valtellinese dishes – such as the inevitable sciatt, pizzoccheri, and taroz – to more unique proposals for those who want to experiment: risotto with pears and taleggio, purple tagliolini with beetroot and fresh trout, venison steak and even some fish dishes. In short, there’s really something for everyone’s taste.

The venue is a real spectacle: the main room, bright and welcoming, offers a view of the Adda River thanks to the large windows.

Two stoves warm the environment and add that touch of intimacy that makes everything more magical.

For those seeking more privacy or in the company of friends, there is an entirely wooden internal room, a stùa, perfect for lunches or dinners in tranquility.

Matteo and his partner never stop.

At lunch, in addition to the à la carte menu, there is always a menu dedicated to those who work and want to eat well at reasonable prices.

Periodically, the Osteria organizes themed evenings with live music and exclusive menus, while in the beautiful season, you can enjoy the outdoor space for lunches and dinners on the terrace.

A demonstration of how their passion and desire to do continue to grow, along with their customers.
