Scringno del Duomo
Skip the set menus and you can actually dine in this refined establishment – Trento’s oldest building, dating back to the 1200s – for a good price. Tables in Scringno’s gastronomic downstairs restaurant look into a glassed-in Roman cellar that holds more than 1000 different wines. The rustic upstairs restaurant serves local specialities such as canederli di pomi con fonduta di taleggio (oven-baked dumplings with cheese) and lake-caught salmerino fish. Delizioso without exception.

El Molin
Something of a legend in Val di Fiemme and recent recipient of a Michelin star (meaning it ain’t cheap), El Molin is housed in an old mill; at street level you can sit at small tables on high stools and dine on delicious fish, meat and pasta dishes. Downstairs, next to the old waterwheels, it’s a wonderland of stone nooks and crannies, candlelight and the concoctions of chef Alessandro Gilmozzi. Think local, seasonal ingredients embellished with a quirky, playful twist.

Al Penny
Sink into a big, comfy booth at this relaxed restaurant on the edge of Andalo to feast on traditional Trentino specialities such as spinach dumplings, and both lake and ocean fish. All the bread here is homemade – if you can’t decide, try a mixed basket that includes wholegrain bread, crusty white-flour bread and delicious still-warm potato bread. Al Penny also has a handful of rooms and apartments with prices available on request.

Due Giganti
It sounds like an oxymoron, but it isn’t. At last, a ‘fast-food’ restaurant that’s tasty and not conducive to heart attacks. American-style fast-food franchisers would do well to send their researchers to Due Giganti to sample the fresh pizzas, buffet salads and regularly topped-up pastas. A height measure invites children under 1m tall to eat for free.

Caffè Tridente
Look out for this unmissable joint in the main square (there’s no sign) open all hours to anyone with a student textbook and a penchant for cappuccino alternated with German beer. Later on, romantic types can be seen cavorting next to the grand central fountain, or pausing in the dark shadows beneath the church to exchange ti amos.

Kusk La Locanda
Billing itself as Il locale piú trendy delle Dolomiti, Kusk is legendary throughout the Val di Fassa for its après-ski scene. This four-way split between a pizzeria, American bar, disco and Italian restaurant is where you can spend the whole evening, chomping on wood-fired pizza while dancing to upbeat Latin and jazz.

Osteria Trentina
A favourite with students from Trento's university, Trentina's wooden tables, chilled music and art work make it a great spot to head early evening for a spritz (aperol and white wine served in a brandy glass with orange slices) along with free aperitivi (happy hour) fare brought to your table.

Patelli
A long, cavernous restaurant with waiters in waistcoats, and delicately folded napkins, Patelli still feels like the kind of place where you can wear Umbro shorts and get away with it. Traditional trattoria fare includes a memorably fresh gnocchi with chestnuts and pistachios accompanied by fruity red wines.

Agritur Fior di Bosco
For a bucolic experience, Agritur Fior di Bosco is a delightful agriturismo (farm-stay accommodation) serving organic farm products, including cheese from its own dairy (you can even have a hand in processing the milk). You’ll need your own wheels to get here.

Café Antermont
Handily situated next to the main bus stop, this woodcarved cafe is an authority on homebaked sponge cake with Alpine cream and a shot of espresso. Nearby, a fork-wielding Ladino cooks up German sausages at a roadside stall.

Baita Checco
Here staff in red-and-white gingham serve Alpine specialities such as Gorgonzola-drizzled canederli (bread dumplings) in the split-level stone interior or on a wind-protected sun terrace.
