"Ho già scritto della bravura dello chef; ho già scritto che è lodevole il percorso di continuo miglioramento, ho già scritto di quanto ho apprezzato il concept delle serate 'a tema '...quindi si potrebbe pensare: non c 'è più nulla da aggiungere. Invece NO! Proporre una serata di vini della Valle Isarco, di una piccola cantina con vini molto particolari è stata sicuramente una sfida ...tutti i vini che ho degustato hanno costituito 'una prima volta ' ed i piatti abbinati una esplosione di sapori. Credo sia il ristorante che mi ha permesso di apprezzare l 'uovo, che qui servono in diversi modi, come piatto gourmet.....e ieri l 'uovo in camicia con asparagi e tartufo nero ed estrazione di Parmigiano mi ha davvero colpito: un 'esplosione di gusti che, in bocca, si è fusa in un piacevole equilibrio!! Per me, che sono 'di pianura ', e non apprezzo particolarmente le carni 'di montagna ' come capriolo, cervo etccc...., divorare lo stracotto di cervo è stata una piacevole sorpresa. La cena si è chiusa con tartatin e gelato artigianale che era superlativo..... Concludo, complimentandomi con Gabriele per il servizio attento ai due 'problematici del gruppo ' e per le 'soluzioni alternative ' offerte. Ora mi aspetto una serata solo bollicine....e tra i piatti....perché non una degustazione di ostriche?"

"We were sitting in the hotel garden enjoying drinks and I noticed the chef in the garden picking fresh herbs, that moment I knew the evening meal was going to be different. We looked at the menu with anticipation, I chose the Zuppa (soup) which was cream of pea with cod fish and olives and my wife had the home made ravioli with Swiss chard, ricotta cheese clams and lemon. Wow it was served beautifully by the waitress who explained every dish, the flavours were simply stunning. For desert we had cream pudding passion fruit meringue and peas, and local pudding vanilla hazelnut and amaretto. They also bought out some additional samples for us to try which were beautiful. The service was sensational and the restaurant is like sitting in an exclusive 18th century setting. Absolutely amazing considering this is just a small village off the main highway. We will be talking about this for a long time."

"New place, new dinner and new review. In company we tried the place for a convivial dinner. The structure is pleasantly furnished, a nice counter at the entrance and in the dining room as soon as you enter you can see a cellar corner very well stocked with wines of various types. The layout of the tables is excellent, not close together and with ample space at the table for diners. Also noteworthy is the service, fast, courteous and with the change of cutlery at each course, a touch of class. Each course was told by the owner who with passion and care described the characteristics and origins of the product As an appetizer I tried the courgette flowers stuffed with ricotta and paired with cherry tomatoes, a courgette flower had a stamen inside and in terms of personal taste I found it a little weak, nice plating and very adequate in quantity. Looking at what the other people on the table had, the meat of the veal with tuna sauce and that of the tartare seemed excellent, which I will try on another occasion. The first was the ravioli with homemade pasta stuffed with duck and mushroom seasoning, unfortunately I found the mushrooms anonymous. The dessert was really good, very tasty and with a beautiful presentation, it was a homemade ice cream with raisins and vermouth with coffee reduction and some chocolate biscuit."

"Being the only English person in our party for me this place is amazing. The service was great as was the food. I tried frogs legs and snails for the first time and both were delicious. A fantastic evening was had by all of us. You must book though because the place is very busy. Compliments to the chef and all the staff here."
