We've been going to Trento many time, first time here. Made reservations the evening before. Unfortunately the weather (yes, early August...) forced us to sit inside. Great evening with good food and drinks at correct pricing. Will certainly go back in future.

Excellent food, especially the arctic char with potato mousse and the beetroot risotto with walnuts and goat cheese. Quite restaurant off the main streets, mostly locals dining. Friendly service.

The place is next to a small square and a small road with nearly no traffic, it is quiet. I was here for lunch and I was sitting outside. I had a mixed salad and a sea bass Mediterranean style. The food was decent, especially the bread and olive oil they served. Beforehand I got a tiny soup of watermelon and almonds, which was very tasty. The menu for lunch is not big, but there is a good choice for everybody possible. The staff is very nice and polite. They also speak English very well.
