"Little Italy in the middle of Podhale.
Authentic Italian cuisine with amazing wine list.
Go eat and drink there! One of the best place in the area."

"I’m sure that the restaurant is good but they have entire weeks were they do just pizza.. we called them to book a table and they were not telling us about the fact that in that period they were doing just pizza and nothing else. The quality of pizza was very low… not recommended.. and I am very disappointed because they could tell us this via phone. I was driving 20 min to eat in a restaurant and I found my self in a cheap pizza place"

Truly pearl in Zakopane 🤍"

It turns out that indeed there is something going on since both the chef at Le Chalet and our friends living in Zakopane started mentioning Zakopiańska, a new restaurant on ul.
