Restaurants in Trento

  1. A

    Pedavena

    Bratwurst, tripe and hearty pasta dishes fill the menu of this Germanic 1920s beer hall adorned with wall-mounted stag heads.

  2. 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.

    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.

  4. 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.

    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.

  6. 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.

    Al Volt

    Since 1894 Al Volt has specialised in piatti tipici trentini ('typical Trento plates'). Choose from a couple of first courses and five or six seconds, and finish off with strudel della nonna (grandma's strudel).
