What he told was that if we needed a really good meal for a small... More

A very interesting place serving traditional Trentino food revisited in modern style. The ingredients are fresh and of high quality, the wine arrangements well thought. In our week of skiing holidays we went there twice and enjoyed both visits very much.

It is a very special place where you can get the unique oportunity to taste Italian cuisine with the wine that will match perfectly to your meal. The restaurant is very special: charming atmosphere with the smiling waiters, tasty food which is really special & the key point, extremely wide range of wines. Even if you know nothing about wine...
