La Spiga d'Oro - Chamonix-Mont-Blanc

I read all of the amazing reviews about this restaurant and was so excited about going. However, when we go there the elderly woman who works here was exceedingly rude and abrasive. She was downright mean to both my husband and I individually. It was so bad that we just left. Customer service usually does not make or break my experience but this woman went out of her way to be cruel to the customers. It was so bad that another French customer came over and tried to explain that she is always like this. This is just how she is. Please save your money and go somewhere else.

We found this on trip advisor as highly rated but not by many people. Hidden but AMAZING!!! We haven’t had such an amazing Italian meal since being in Italy. Everything is fresh and tastes fantastic! The tiramisu is the best I have ever had. Light and creamy! The staff are lovely and made it even better!!! So happy and full right now!

La Spiga d'Oro is unassuming and easily passed by, but don't make that mistake. Go in and you will be treated to wonderfully personal service, and simply the best pasta in Chamonix, possibly in France. And don't miss the tiramisu, their crowning glory drowning in cream.

We came with friends from Australia, table of 8. We sat outside on a warm July day. All the dishes were great, except the citrus pasta with shrimp and mint which we did not particularly like. But we were able to change and everything else was fantastic. Had a great chat with the chef, and I can only recommend this little deli/restaurant, knowing how hard it is to find great home cooked food in Chamonix.

The freshly homemade pasta and sauces are to die for, especially their gnocchi. Add some of their sun dried tomato or regular pesto and you have a great dinner. Also, I just can't get enough of the balsamic pickled onions. There are other great looking dishes that I can't wait to try. If you are looking for Italian food to eat in or take-out, this is the place to go. I highly recommend it.
