Il Cappello

Top choice in Trento


Decked out with linen tablecloths, wooden beams and a quiet courtyard terrace, this intimate dining room hidden away between Trento's duomo and castle woos guests with a mix of rusticity and elegance. The menu is Trentino to the core, and simple presentation makes the most of beautiful artisan produce. Wines, too, are local and rather special.
