Hotel Sassella Ristorante Jim

In Valtellina, Sassella brings to mind two famous realities: the Sanctuary close to Sondrio and the wine production of the neighbouring spots. Sassella is both a family name and the name of a hotel in Grosio celebrated for its gastronomic tradition. Founded in 1908, Giacomo Sassella, nicknamed Jim because he had been to Australia, run the business in the thirties. Then, he handed it over to his nephew, who besides sharing the same name has always shared the same passion for cooking. He is so much enthusiastic that he is regarded as the ambassador of Valtellina cuisine in the world.

Buon Ricordo speciality

Dadolata di filetto con crema di Bitto Dop e bacetti di segale

Grosio is a characteristic town located very near the Stelvio National Park, just where the Adda River which forms the Valtellina Valley, winds round the Retiche Alps. This landscape is the background of our dish: beef, mountain pasture butter, and wild thyme paired with a creamy sauce made of Bitto cheese, one of the most celebrated Valtellina cheeses, and with rye gnocchetti sprinkled with freshly ground nutmeg to top. A fabulous meal!
