possibly the best pizza in town if you ask me. Very basic setting, not pretentious at all, but ideal for groups and family as the pizza is amazing, the place is noisy, and they bring you a big tagliere (wooden chopping board - as long as your arm and more!- to share with different pizza flavors at your choice)

there are two adventure parks in the area, both from the same provider. Kids can hike and climb trees in a safe environment. The one in Civenna is more far away than the one in Albavilla (45 mins vs. 20) but 10 mins drive to Bellagio and close to a good traditional restaurant where you can have a great polenta, the Rifugio Anna Maria
