It is quite an upmarket place and prices are marginally above average but the menu is great. They have a good pizza selection with proper pizza oven and token south italian pizzaiolo as well has having a good range of meat and pasta dishes and some great seafood specials. A cosy atmosphere prevails so don't bring a loud group here but nice for a cosy evening with friends. Don't forget to have dessert as well the white chocolate mousse is to die for. All together a quality spot.

Upon arrival, you can tell they were wrapping up for the night. I had the veg soup, which was really good. I then ordered the beet dumplings in gorgonzola sauce (that isn't what they were called). I for some reason was thinking that I was getting a beet ravioli. Either way, it was SO good. SUPER heavy and filling but good. Good enough that I was tempted to go back another day for more but with the limited time we had in the area, I wanted to try other places. My husband had the spinach and pecorino (?) ravioli that is native to that area in a butter sauce. They were good too but mine was better! LOL. We shared the chocolate salami for dessert. It was drier and dense but good-more his thing than mine. I think it had small pieces of bread in it or cake. Not overly sweet or rich. I would definitely return here. I have already been trying to find a recipe for the beet dumplings - they were that good! This place won't disappoint.

One of the best meals that we had while in Italy. I liked that it was a bit closer to what we tend…read moreto see in the US - meaning there was a salad bar, that had so many choices and they were all good. Plus there was approx. 30 cheeses at the salad bar to choose from, it was crazy! It is a bit formal, though I saw people dining that were dressed casually as well. The dining room is nicely done with a great view. They start you with a small plate of meat and cheese - literally one of each for each person, which is nice. They served bread with house made butter, which was really good - I don't normally butter my bread but this was too good to pass up! Then I had the salad bar. They then brought out a cold octopus salad- nothing I would have ever ordered but thanks to this experience, I will be in the future! I had the osso bucco with risotto, which was a special that day. It was good but I've had better. My husband had house made pasta with lobster. He also thought it was good, but not great. We then shared the dessert buffet. There was tiramisu, different varieties of chocolate and cookies as well as a berry cream dish and profiteroles in a chocolate sauce. Though I would only rate most of the food as good to very good, I think the variety, service and setting really made it a great experience.

Their executive chef Albin Widmann treats you with traditional Ladin and South Tyrolean as well as Mediterrenean dishes. The wine menu presents over 400 local and international varieties. They have daily speciality menus as well as an a la cart menu. The restuarant also offers a salad bar, cheese and pastry buffet. The chestnut soup with truffle and the calf cheek are especially good. They also brought us a cold-cut meat plate, grilled shrimps and an assortment of sweets and chocolates on the house. Every plate comes as a piece of art work. The service was quick and efficient. Recommended.

We arrived around 18:15 with our two children (4 and 7 years old) and were told at the bar that we…read morecould have a drink while waiting for the kitchen to open. Based on that, we stayed. Shortly after, another staff member treated us coldly and told us that without a reservation we would not be served, despite what we had just been told. Our table was not prepared while others around us were. The lack of coordination between staff and the dismissive tone were disappointing. Our children were confused and upset by the interaction. One person at the bar was kind, but overall the experience was not welcoming. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this place.

We had a reservation so were seated promptly, but inside where it is about the temperature of an oven. The only way this was made semi-tolerable, was by immediately visiting their restroom where it is actually the temperature of the sun (or hell, your choice), and without any toilet paper or soap. By the time you return to the main dining room, it feels practically cool by comparison! The staff are clearly overtaxed, but they were friendly and trying their best to attend to everyone. I had the carbonara, which was fine. It's got an extensive menu and generous portions.

This restaurant was recommended by our Airbnb host as a Calabrian family owned business that…read morelocals, Italian tourists, and international visitors alike all love. I got the Calabrian bouillabase and my partner got the seafood tagliatelle, and both were amazing! The bouillabase was just the right amount of spicy with the Calabrian chiles, and it had huge pieces of 2 types of fish, giant prawns, oysters, clams, and shrimp. My partner liked the salmon and prawns in his pasta. Service was excellent, and the owners spoke German, Italian, English (and probably more languages given the region's proximity to multiple countries). We didn't have a dinner reservation so were seated outside on the charming patio (2 sections, one with heaters close to the restaurant, and the other further away with blankets).
