The story
“The complexity of simplicity is what fascinates us.” This quote from Ferran Adrià, displayed on Trippi’s homepage, sets the tone for the restaurant in Montagna in Valtellina, near Sondrio. Here, the kitchen strips away unnecessary masks, letting each ingredient speak for itself. The principle is radical: no lemon with bresaola, no well-done tagliatas. The aim is to taste products at their purest expression.
Trippi is part of the Slow Food Alliance of Chefs, an international network committed to valuing products from Presidia—traditional, small-scale productions. The restaurant also champions ingredients listed on the Ark of Taste, a catalogue of heritage foods at risk of disappearing. This commitment extends to mountain products and classic Valtellinese recipes, prepared according to long-standing traditions. The cuisine is unmistakably Lombardian, rooted in the territory.
The Michelin guide has awarded Trippi a Recommended status for 2026, acknowledging the kitchen’s dedication to clear, honest flavours. The restaurant’s approach—buono, pulito e giusto (good, clean and fair)—resonates with diners seeking a genuine taste of Valtellina. Every dish, from the simplest potato to the most refined local speciality, reflects this unwavering philosophy.
