Prezioso

★ Michelin€€€€Alpine, Creative

Once you leave Merano, you follow a road through the woods for about 5km to reach Castel Fragsburg, a small, fairytale-like residence with an elegant feel and guestrooms decorated in the traditional style of the southern Tyrol. At the gourmet Prezioso restaurant, in fine weather lucky diners can choose to sit on one of the most spectacular terraces in Italy, perched high above the valley. In the kitchen, chef Egon Heiss demonstrates his culinary talent on a single tasting menu of creative dishes which are made mostly from local mountain ingredients, sourced from the restaurant’s own kitchen ga

Hidalgo

€€Grills

Although fish dishes also feature on the menu, Hidalgo has long enjoyed a reputation for its excellent meat options thanks to its different cuts of steak and beef sourced from all around the world and cooked mainly (but not exclusively) on the barbecue grill. In a separate room(Aomi, a kind of restaurant within the restaurant), guests can choose from a menu dedicated uniquely (from antipasti to main courses) to Japanese Wagyubeef.

TripAdvisor review sample · 4.1/5 · 80 reviews

Hidalgo holds a 4.1/5 rating, praised for high-quality food, particularly meats and truffle dishes, alongside attentive service and an elegant, spacious atmosphere. Positive reviews highlight exceptional culinary experiences and friendly staff. However, negative feedback points to inconsistent service, slow pacing, and concerns over value, with some guests citing high prices for small portions or undercooked food. While many enjoy the refined setting and top-tier ingredients, others report disappointment with mediocre preparations or unfriendly staff. The restaurant offers a strong dining experience for meat enthusiasts but may not satisfy those prioritizing consistent service or strict cost-effectiveness.

Recommended for diners prioritizing meat quality and ambiance, though service consistency varies.
