The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants Trentino-Alto Adige Südtirol

Housed in a 17th century palace, this restaurant offers typical lake cuisine and also high quality regional specialities from Trentino. You can eat on the terrace or in a cosy room. The service is elegant and the atmosphere warm. A hedonistic address where every plate is worked. While the visual appeal is seductive, the tastes and flavours blend perfectly, making this restaurant one of our favourites in the area. As for the staff, available and smiling, they will be at your disposal to advise you on dishes and wines.

In the heart of Canazei, right on the main road, this informal restaurant with its rustic Alpine décor serves excellent pizzas, fresh pasta, delicious Tyrolean dishes such as Tyroler Kaiserplatte with canederlo (dumplings), polenta, goulash, cheese and sausages. The house, which also serves as a steak house, offers braised ribs served with fried potatoes. The bar area has nice, fun wooden high chairs. Good local beers and wines are served in a lively atmosphere.

Michelin-starred cuisine from chef Andrea Fenoglio. But also, the promise of a gastronomic journey, at prices that are still relatively affordable. The restaurant's interior is retro, retaining its Art Deco style, and offers lovely views through the bright windows. Let yourself be seduced by the "surprise" menu, a spectacle of shapes, colors, cooking and presentation. Or for the 7 signature dishes, including the Omega 3 spaghetti, subtle on the palate, exclusively compiled in the form of a menu. No more revelations.

Nice bistro nestled in a passage not far from the castle, appreciated by the Tridentines for the lunch break. You can eat well and quickly (salads, dishes, burgers...). There are also several local craft beers. Perfect between two visits in town, especially since you can also take your meal with you to eat outdoors. The place is also very lively at the aperitif time, especially on Thursday, with live music and a more festive atmosphere. Here we make Venetian Spritz, with Select aperitivo produced in the "Serenissima".

Located in the centre of the village, this trattoria is pleasant first of all for its setting. White benches and tablecloths, wooden chairs and wainscotting everywhere give a refined chalet atmosphere. You can also opt for the terrace in summer, exceptional and surrounded by greenery. Regional specialities, Italian classics and pizzas are served here. The most important thing is to preserve the flavour of home cooking, as in the original tagliatelle with venison and juniper stew or roast pork with blueberries. Appetizing, isn't it?

Ideal to eat a good pizza without breaking the bank. The place is unpretentious, with a large vaulted room overlooking ancient stone arches. The locals are not mistaken and come here to order their favourite pizzas. The mozzarella is particularly exceptional, the thin and crispy dough is tasty and the pizza with Tyrolean speck and a beautiful ball of burrata is a pure wonder. Also some very hearty pasta dishes, but really pizzas are a must. Fast and friendly service.

A trattoria in the historic center where excellent Trentino specialties are served at a good price. Try the surprising deer and black truffle risotto and the tasty sprangolapreti (Trentino gnocchi). Good local wines, very friendly service and a nice atmosphere in the evening. The setting is chic and elegant inside with nice antique armchairs. You can also opt for the terrace on the street. Courteous service.

Germanic, authentic and very welcoming atmosphere in this restaurant, whose German name Weißes Rössl is used much more often than Italian. The historic inn can be identified by its painted façade, which can be recognized from afar. The restaurant offers excellent regional specialties in a stylish setting: pork tenderloin with mushrooms, trout in white wine, speck and of course apple strudel. If you have to choose a good address for a regular canteen, this is it, for its prices as modest as its dishes are generous.

An address at the end of the world, for a gourmet stopover and more if the budget allows. A cosy chalet, recently restored, in its mountain setting, managed by the Mussner family for over 40 years. A tasty cuisine where you can discover traditional recipes: charcuterie, marinated game, ravioli stuffed with boletus. All accompanied by the best wines. Also offers luxurious rooms with a superb view. If the restaurant is open for lunch and dinner in a certain time slot, the café is open all day.

Located in the centre of Brunico, this beautiful and picturesque pink house is a must-see. The interior is completely covered with old wooden fences, literally from floor to ceiling. The atmosphere is very picturesque and warm. The table is one of the most famous in the region, very popular with the locals (remember to book). But what is the secret of this restaurant? Tasty Tyrolean dishes such as canederli or deer goulash, served in generous portions, and recipes that combine fine execution with mountain rusticity.

Fana Ladina is one of the best restaurants in San Vigilio, in a very old house in the village. Ladin specialities are served in Tyrolean folk costume in a wooden attic room. The specialities of the house: venison tartar, baked pork shank and rumptof, a traditional Trentino fruit dessert made with rum - not a very Tyrolean alcohol. Equally exotic are the crafun, a savoury doughnut with meat ragout, and the feies da soni, potato chips with blueberries or sauerkraut.

Located in the heart of Brunico's pedestrian streets on a small square, this unpretentious pizzeria spreads out its tables on the terrace. For a change from speck and mountain specialties, the address also offers dishes from southern Italy, such as lamb stew with Pugliese asparagus. But the great specialty of the address is of course the pizza! The ingredients are fresh and tasty, the Neapolitan-style dough is uniquely crisp and the prices are low. The pasta dishes of the day on the slate are worth a handful of euros, a real treat.

From the top of the Paganella ski resort, at an altitude of over 2,000 metres, this refuge serves exceptional cuisine. Just look at the dishes: polenta with melted cheese and mushrooms, venison, tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms. And a choice of homemade beers or local wine, including a white wine from the Dolomites, "Reflessi di Brenta", produced on the slopes of Sporminore. Large crispy pretzels are served as an accompaniment. For dessert, while sailing through the Italian Tyrol, you can sway for a tiramisu or strudel.

Lost in the mountain pastures, 10 minutes from Brunico, this mountain farmhouse offers new rooms at reasonable prices. Well-equipped little cocoons that we like to take on half-board, so that we don't have to think about anything and we can sit down to eat, as it is one of the most famous restaurants in the area. An address for gourmets where the ingredients come as much as possible from the vegetable garden and the farm, where local flavors are very well worked, revisited by the chef Christof Feichter and twisted with modernity, the plates nicely decorated with mountain flowers.

While working at the Villa Negri in Riva del Garda and aged just 28, chef Peter Brunel was awarded a Michelin star. His restaurant, located in a secluded building in the heart of the countryside north of the lake, is a luminous showcase designed in collaboration with architects and decorated with contemporary art. Once you've made yourself at home in the lounge, take a seat in the dining room or in the garden, and then the show begins: shapes and colors, combinations of flavors and textures, revisited traditions, high-flying products and attentive service!

On a quiet Sunday in Bruneco, Corso is the perfect place to end the weekend in typical Tyrolean style. The set menu features pizzas made to authentic Italian recipes, prepared with local flour and baked in a wood-fired oven. The pizza with mortadella and pistachio cream is a delight for both the eye and the palate. What's more, the menu offers a touch of the exotic with options that change every three months, so you can discover Japanese-inspired dishes, for example.

Located in the Gries district, Il Corso offers a selection of Neapolitan pizzas to suit all budgets, with a particular focus on signature pizzas created by talented chefs and even awarded in culinary competitions. Dine indoors in a setting inspired by Mediterranean and Oriental cultures, or under the outdoor arcades. Popular with locals, service is renowned for its efficiency and friendliness. Please note: due to the large number of people at aperitif time, we advise you to book in advance.

If there was only one in the whole valley, this is it! This pizzeria is delicious, and of course the pizzas are all takeaway. Handy if you want to eat at the top of the slopes or have a picnic in the sun in summer. But it would be a shame not to take advantage of the setting: a lovely, bright chalet with a terrace. The choice is vast: about forty compositions from all over Italy, with Tyrolean specialities in the spotlight of course. The house also serves very simple Ladin specialities, homemade pasta, all well executed and well prepared.

This restaurant is located at the foot of the Pale di San Martino mountain, very close to the Passo Rolle at an altitude of 1,980 metres. It is accessible by car, which is a good option in summer. Don't be surprised to see cows grazing in front of the terrace, they live in the surrounding fields because the restaurant belongs to a historical cheese factory that has diversified into local gastronomy over the years. You will find the best of the local production in the plate, but executed with a lot of lightness and grace. A good gastronomic address.

The originality of this refuge is that it offers both board and lodging, but at an altitude of 1,600 metres in the middle of the slopes. Ideal for those looking for a retreat in the heart of the peaks! Eight cute, comfortable and rather modern rooms - all different - are named after alpine flowers. Some have a romantic wood-burning stove, others are designed for families, with additional beds. To make matters worse, one comes from far and wide to dine in the restaurant, which serves excellent Tyrolean specialities.
