Dopo un'ottimo piatto di affettati misti e formaggi abbiamo scelto la tagliata mista di manzo e cavallo ed era semplicemente eccezionale!!! Buoni i contorni. Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Consigliato.

Ho preso tagliata di manzo e di cavallo, patate e funghi come contorno è una panna cotta ai frutti di bosco. La carne la migliore che io abbia mai assaggiato, sia come sapore sia come modalità di cottura. Anche la panna cotta tra le migliori in assoluto. Il tutto in una location con un buon panorama. Consigliato assolutamente

Food is amazing Sweets are amazing Location amazing as well Price affordable

Nice ride on the motorcycle. Food was amazing. Tried beef steak, gnocchi with speck, bread, and amazing prices.

Se si vuole andare a Sauris, è d’obbligo fermarsi al Rio Nier. L’eccellenza del posto è sicuramente la tagliata di cavallo, mai mangiata una carne così tenera, si taglia senza coltello (provare per credere). Non è certamente da meno la qualità anche del manzo e il filetto. Porzioni abbondanti e prezzi onestissimi. Particolari i salumi e formaggi ricercati delle malghe limitrofe. Personale gentile. E il titolare Loris sempre disponibile. Dall’interno del posto si gode anche del bellissimo panorama, e l’estate c’è anche la possibilità di sedersi ai tavoli fuori. Che dire ogni volta che vengo è una garanzia.

Very nice view at the dolomiet mountains, lovely lady serving us in the most friendly way and the food taste perfect and low priced. What else can you expect? 10 points

Sosta di ritorno da Sauris. Ho sentito odore di griglia e decido di fermarmi. Ho mangiato la miglior tagliata da 50 anni a questa parte. Carne gustosa tenera e cotta a regola d'arte. Non serviva il coltello si strappava con la forchette, un gusto davvero insuperabile. Uno dei rari casi in cui se disponibili metterei 10 stelle
