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.

This beautiful Alpine house surrounded by the low mountains of the Val di Non is home to husband-and-wife team Ivano and Antonella, who have run this restaurant with enthusiasm and professionalism for many years. She offers a warm welcome front of house, while he is at the helm in the kitchen, where he prepares dishes from top-quality ingredients (mostly local, such as the Alpine beef, char, cheese and game) with skill and precision. A few seasonal ingredients from outside the region also make it on to the menu, as do a couple of fish-based dishes.

Housed in a traditional maso of wood and stone, the quintessential mountain atmosphere continues inside through warm, timber-clad interiors and a classic ceramic stove that heats one of the first-floor dining rooms. The cuisine, with occasional seafood exceptions, fully embraces the Trentino terroir.
