Hotel Helvetia

We loved the food at your place and would happily come back when we get the chance. It was all so good that taking pictures never even crossed our minds. Thanks for such a great meal!

That warm Livigno cake with caramelized sugar, whipped cream, salted caramel, berries, and local ice cream was spectacular. The waitress was lovely too. We tried several other dishes: the countryman's plate came with polenta taragna, grilled sausages, and little mushroom gnocchi, and the local pizzoccheri was quite good compared with the ones I've tried elsewhere. The cheese and beef bourgignon fondues and crespelle with bitto cheese also sounded like tempting specialties. Prices seemed about average for local restaurants. I was there for dinner only. The restaurant is right in central Livigno's pedestrian area, where cars aren't allowed. My vegetable minestrone was a letdown, though. It wasn't as tasty as soups I'd had elsewhere, and seemed like little effort had gone into it. There was no bread with it, but I didn't ask. I can't comment on the hotel, and it seems they don't take dogs, so we'll see about that another time. I'd recommend the restaurant.

We should've paid more attention to the reviews. The seabass with tomato and basil came out wrong twice: first with capers and orange, then with tomato sauce and olives, and it was cold. Just not a good meal.

Our room stayed really quiet at night despite the hotel's central spot in Livigno. It was simple, but very clean and well looked after. Breakfast was nice, with eggs made to order alongside the usual European options, and the staff were generally friendly. There was also a heated pool downstairs.
