The new Eno-bistrot Mota Menu: flavors to discover at Hotel Cardo
The culinary offering at Hotel Cardo has reached new levels of excellence with the introduction of the Eno-bistrot Mota — just like at Hotel Mota in Livigno. This new concept, created under the Mota Hospitality brand, brings a genuine, contemporary food philosophy to life. The Eno-bistrot Mota menu is rich and full of surprises, allowing each guest to build their own unique tasting experience.
A Menu that celebrates togetherness
The new Eno-bistrot Mota menu was created to enhance conviviality and the joy of discovery. Valdidentro is a treasure trove of ancient Alpine traditions, where forests and mountains preserve the scents and flavors of simple, humble ingredients — once the everyday riches of the valley's people.
The menu draws from these traditions of Alpine cuisine and infuses them with a fresh, creative touch. A standout feature is the "Morsi e Bocconi" sharing formula: a curated selection of small plates designed to be enjoyed at the center of the table. Perfect for tasting a variety of flavors, this format turns any casual meal or aperitif with panoramic views into a collective moment of delight. From rustic to refined, every bite brings a new surprise.
Valtellina Tradition, the soul of the territory
At the heart of the Eno-bistrot Mota menu is Valtellina — with its time-honored dishes and local specialties. Traditional offerings like pizzoccheri, artisan bresaola, and Alpine cheeses tell the story of a land that lives through its food. At Hotel Cardo, we enhance this culinary heritage through seasonal menus, support for local producers, and a focus on preserving Alpine biodiversity.
The signature of Chef Federico Maglio
Chef Federico Maglio, well known and loved by guests at Hotel Mota in Livigno, has brought his passion and expertise to the Eno-bistrot Mota menu. Alongside classic mountain dishes, he has crafted creative, unexpected plates you might not expect to find during a mountain holiday — but will be glad you did. Chef Maglio’s cuisine combines technique and heart, balancing bold flavors with harmony and elegance.
The perfect pairing? Trust Raffaele Rodigari
Wine is the other cornerstone of the Eno-bistrot Mota experience. A love for wine runs deep in the Rodigari family and is now shared with guests at Hotel Cardo through a carefully curated selection by Raffaele Rodigari, expert sommelier and co-founder of Mota Hospitality along with his brother Alessandro.
The wine list includes fine labels from Valtellina, Italy, and beyond — with a focus on natural wines and small-scale producers. Each bottle is chosen to elevate your meal and take you on a flavorful journey through the Alps.
The Eno-bistrot Mota awaits at Hotel Cardo
A true mountain holiday isn't complete without exceptional food. Whether it's a family dinner, a post-hike lunch, or a relaxed aperitivo on the terrace, the Eno-bistrot Mota always has the right dish to satisfy every palate.
