Owners laughed at the children who got Killed in a flood.

I was hesitant at the ordering technique originally, but it was really convenient and easy to use! Despite the cell service being sub-par for ALL of the Big Three carriers, the site had absolutely no trouble loading all of the content, images, and options much faster than something like the DoorDash app would for an equivalent location.

Life is good.

California is paradise.

I don't drink anymore, but if I did, this is where I'd do it...

The Alpine Inn is amazing, especially since the remodel. The setting is beautiful, there is a ton of shade, and the food is A+ amazing. My only gripes are the prices (is it $15 for a hamburger these days?) and the parking. Whenever I'm going here for dinner I feel like I need to be there before it opens or I won't get a parking spot or the wait will be 45 minutes. I'm not sure how to solve that problem, but I often will choose to go elsewhere rather than deal with the stress. Regardless, amazing restaurant! We're lucky to have it in PV

Delicious food. Friendly atmosphere. There are several options in a dogs menu.
For humans, we ordered beet salad, buratta with meatballs, pizza with artichoke hearts, and carrots cake. Everything was tasty and fast!

The place is really nice, you can eat outside which is cool. I ordered tacos, they were fine, but they put the salsa on top, and it was too spicy for my taste.

Rossotti's Alpine Inn: A Hidden Gem in the Woods

Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Rossotti's Alpine Inn offers a truly magical dining experience. Nestled by the woods, this restaurant's location is nothing short of spectacular. As you step in, you're greeted by an atmosphere that seamlessly blends natural serenity with vibrant energy.

Every corner of the place has been meticulously set up, exuding charm and attention to detail. The bar, equipped with screens for sports fans, offers a lively yet cozy vibe. The highlight? The wood-fired pizza oven housed in a vintage truck—a creative touch that adds to the character of the restaurant.

The team at Rossotti's operates like a well-choreographed dance. Despite the constant motion of a large staff, everything feels orderly and efficient. It’s clear that the kitchen is well-organized, delivering delicious food with remarkable speed. The beer selection is excellent, perfectly complementing the flavorful dishes, all reasonably priced.

Even the bathrooms, given the rustic location, are impressively clean and well-maintained.

What truly sets Rossotti's apart is its enchanting setting. A gentle river runs alongside the restaurant, offering the soothing sound of water as it flows. Paired with the melodies of birds, the whisper of the wind, and the sight of the moon and starlit sky, the ambiance is unparalleled.

Whether you're here for a casual evening or a special occasion, Rossotti's Alpine Inn promises an experience that satisfies all the senses. Highly recommended! ?

Rossotti’s Alpine Inn is one of those hidden gems where you’d want to take friends visiting from outside the Bay Area. Nestled among scenic natural trails, the atmosphere here is truly special. It’s the kind of place that invites you to unwind, surrounded by nature, in a laid-back setting that’s perfect for a weekend outing.

Surprisingly, the food is much better than what you’d expect from a casual outdoor spot like this. The menu offers classic American fare done well, with fresh and flavorful ingredients. My top picks are the tomato soup, which is rich and comforting, and the salmon avocado toast, which is beautifully presented and delicious. Each dish we tried tasted fresh and was thoughtfully prepared. The cocktails aren’t extraordinary, but they’re affordable and pair nicely with the setting.

The only drawback is that, while the atmosphere is charming, it does get quite crowded, and the space feels a bit too optimized. Seating can be tight, and our group of four ended up at a table meant for two, which made it a bit challenging for the servers to reach us comfortably. But even with the occasional hustle and bustle, the overall experience is worth it.

Despite the minor downsides, I’d highly recommend Rossotti’s Alpine Inn for a relaxed meal with friends in a beautiful location. It’s a delightful spot that embodies the casual charm of the Bay Area, with a great mix of food, nature, and friendly vibes…And not too expensive !!
