Following a road that twists and turns uphill, surrounded at first by vineyards and fruit trees and then by woodland, you climb to an altitude of 900m to reach this restaurant run by the Geiser family, who have been serving simple yet delicious regional (and Italian) cuisine here for three generations. With a focus on seasonal ingredients from the Alto Adige, the menus feature specialities such as potato rosti with beetroot, baked pumpkin, broccoli and porcini mushroom cream, as well as home-made tarts and sorbets. The beautiful views take in Terlano in the middle of the valley and the majesti

Centrally located and with a plain, almost minimalist interior and a small charming outdoor space on the pedestrianised street for summer dining, Osteria Acquarol serves dishes which are strongly rooted in the region yet prepared with modern techniques and very much influenced by the character of the owner-chef here. Regionally sourced sustainable ingredients often feature in its highly original cuisine, including aromatic and wild herbs grown in the chef’s own garden. In 2023, the restaurant’s kitchen garden was extended so vegetables now play a more dominant role in the two tasting menus ser

A gourmet landmark along the romantic South Tyrolean Wine Road, Zur Rose leaves a lasting impression. In this historic house, chef Herbert Hintner, who has been working here side by side with his son Daniel for over five years, offers his idea of contemporary creativity with a strong Alto Adige regional identity. Daniel offers a seven‑course seasonal menu that deftly balances the restaurant’s long‑standing traditions with a fresh look at local cuisine.

This comfortable and informal “Gasthaus” with a simple yet welcoming and contemporary feel is run by talented chef Herbert Hintner, the undisputed master of Alto Adige cuisine. Housed within a historic building in the town’s pedestrianised centre, the restaurant serves simple cuisine with a focus on regional recipes and ingredients (such as potato ravioli filled with speck ham and spleen crostini in broth) alongside a few Mediterranean-influenced dishes such as arancini in a gorgonzola sauce. The wine list, on the other hand, focuses uniquely on the Alto Adige.

Along the enchanting Val di Non, amid rows of apple orchards and the silhouettes of ancient castles, this building of nineteenth-century origin is home to a dependable family-run establishment, in operation for nearly a century, since 1933 to be precise. The cooking interprets the flavours of the territory with quiet competence, drawing out its seasonal excellences – such as white asparagus and venison preparations – while not shying away from occasional forays into broader national influences. Emblematic in this regard is the excellent pistachio ice cream, singled out by our Inspectors as not

The elegance and warmth of this restaurant remain unchanged, like a timeless signature. The cuisine, always attentive and in tune with contemporary tastes, offers more essential and straightforward dishes that convey local flavors with refined simplicity in the new "Wine & Dine" concept by Elisabeth. The charming interiors result from the skillful renovation of an old farmhouse, from the barn to the old stables, incorporating what was once outside; everything has been restored and enhanced with modern touches. A commendable service and an excellent wine cellar, built over the years, complete t
