Trentino & South Tyrol


First impressions may clock the decor as a little too Alpine-for-dummies, but this is a genuinely cosy spot. A glass of warming Marzemino sets the scene, then out come authentic and tasty Trentino specialities – taiadèle smalzàde (pan-fried noodles with venison and pine-nut ragù) or beef fillet with porcini mushrooms and polenta, all served with homemade bread. The pizza also rates.
