Lo Zafferano - Grenoble

We are Italians and usually never eat at Italian restaurants when traveling abroad. However, after two weeks of French and Spanish food, we ventured for dinner here. The place is quite small, just a handful of tables, and this is already a good sign. We are greeted by a very gentle French girl offering to speak Italian to us. Her Italian is very good and we enjoy talking to her. The menu is not too rich, another good sign in my opinion, and she explains it to us very well. We chose tuna tartare, mozzarella (quite good) and ham, rigatoni all'anduja and saltimbocca alla romana. The rigatoni were home made and quite good, although a bit too oily (but this happens often in Italy too). The saltimbocca were not true to the original recipe because it was a single slab of meat instead of several small chunks and the meat was a bit too thick. Otherwise, the taste was excellent. We explained our remarks to the girl and we could hear her reporting our suggestions to the Italian chef who, we believe, will improve in our he future. We closed with a rather good fruit salad. If you look for a taste of Italy in Grenoble, this is the place to go, highly recommended!

Very nice address. pasta is fresh and delicious! We're asking again. The kitchen is refined and elaborated. Thank you for this real Italian getaway. I'd love to go back.

Simple and very well prepared kitchen. fast service and good advice. The houses are excellent.

The restaurant does not have a mine at first sight but they are often the best restaurants! Inside we got the right to a cucumber tomato gaspacho and burrata. How to say? I'm not a fan of gaspacho but it was perfect! seasoning was just as it takes to bring out the taste of food. and the melting burrata. a pure feast!on then chained on a dish of paste. the ultimate test: the pasta was al dente! for the moment a faultless! I couldn't leave without tasting the tiramisu! The cream was very yellow (the waitress explained that it is because they use Italian eggs qpparefully very concentrated ) it was creamy, with a lot of taste! A feast! do not look for grenoble gaites you pleasure by going there! very good reception, the team is very nice too!It's for sure: I'll go back with great pleasure!

Good discovery. The menu is limited to the quality and freshness of the good taste of the Italian and the small dishes of the mama. friendly and efficient service that adapts to the needs of customers. Great moment, strongly advised I will come back just think of booking because the room is small.
