This intimate place is what Merano is all about: gentility and tradition. A few Italian dishes (steak tagliata, tagliatelle alla bolognese) sit side-by-side with Tyrolean classics (schnitzel, boiled calf's head with onion) and more innovative dishes such as pork in a black-bread crust with local asparagus or risotto with wild-garlic pesto. The terrace is lovely in summer, too.
