"...at this cute restaurant. The cuisine here, while firmly in the Italian tradition and making good use of Italian products, is modern, adventurous and free-spirited. The information on the menu suggests he chef who creates and prepares all the lovely dishes is different from the chef advertised on the website, who is more of a patron nowadays. The primi were both superb: rabbit plin (pasta parcels with a Juniper sauce, a Teroldego (local wine) reduction and the cooking jus; and the chestnut gnocchi with artichokes, lemon and smoked trout, a very interesting combination. For mains, an elegant and ethereal steamed cod with smoked almonds and vegetables, and a stratospheric guinea fowls, both breast a a thigh, coming with a mushroom parfait and chestnuts in various forms. I liked a lot the idea and some components of one dessert, a canederlo (dumpling) with fig and truffles, but the accompanying sharon fruit coulis lacked intensity, really the only tiny negative point of the whole meal. On the other hand, an almond and saffron dacquoise featured very complementary lemon cream and olive oil ice-cream, and was wonderful. Service is efficient, informative and professional. The room with ample windows offers great views of the Adige valley and the surrounding mountains. Prices are a bargain for this quality."

"The restaurant is open for dinner on Saturday and lunch on Sunday (12.30pm). We managed to make a reservation via email on the Sunday morning we wanted to visit. Free parking is available on the premise. There are two playgrounds for children with one right next to the dining area. There are a lot of toys and books to keep the little ones happy. The farm is behind the restaurant. We walked 200 metres uphill to visit the animals. We saw goats, chickens, a donkey and a pony. There are probably more animals but we didn't go all the way up. The lunch cost €25 per person including refillable water (gas and without gas) and coffee at the end. For a 2 year old, it cost €5. They provided a nice high chair which is perfect for the height of the 2 year old. Be prepared to spend about 2.5 to 3 hours here. Service was good. The waitress would try to explain each dish before serving to us. First we were given three types of breads and cheeses. The olive bread was excellent. They refilled the breads automatically. Appetizers consist of cold cuts, rice and vegetable cake, potato and onion cake and a kind of pancake with pesto. The first course consist of pasta in bell pepper sauce and ravioli with meat. This was followed by two second courses consisting of meats. The tomatoes that came with the second meat dish were delicious. They offered a second refills for all the dishes. Finally the desserts were lemon cakes, grapes and lemon sorbet. We enjoyed the meals very much."

"On the way back from a business trip, I did decide to exit from highway to search for a good place where to have dinner. I exit Mezzacorona and I let me drive by the TripAdvisor application. The place is really nice, recently renovated and made of natural wood. The menu is not so wide, about 4 appetizer, 4 primi and 4 main course plates. Each plate is really particular and not usual, clearly they go for quality ingredients. I had tagliatelle made with eggs, chocolate and duck ragù. What to say: at the first beat it looks strange, but then with some cheese it turn out to be a new experience. My suggestion is to go there and try by yourself, it will be worth!"

"Rob Parry recommends Caffè Centrale We went to Caffe Centrale for a meal on the 15th of September. We were visiting the village for a few days exploring the beautiful scenic countryside and we thought, why not? It was not a recommendation , rather a chance taken and one of those gambles that pays off extremely well. So we were seated outside at a comfortable table, and we quickly relaxed in the chilled, friendly and ambient atmosphere. We ordered a Pimms and a Forst Beer and both were cold, and extremely tasty. Forst is one of the best beers I have ever tasted and alla spina it is superb. We were given some very tasty bread based nibbles as we were very early. The chef arrived on time and we were given the menu which was fairly simple and straightforward and we could have been forgiven for thinking this was going to be perhaps, a very basic meal. How wrong we would have been! We both chose Cacio e Pepe for a first course and when it arrived, it was absolutely the very best Cacio e Pepe had ever tasted; the pasta was al dente, perfect and wonderfully seasoned, the 'sauce ' was rich, creamy and liberally spiced with fresh ground black pepper. Absolutely perfect! Next up my wife took the Salmone croccante al forno con salsa. The salmon was exquisitely cooked and the salsa was fresh and delicious, in all a very tasty and satisfying dish. I chose the Straccetti di Manzowhich was one of the tastiest beef dishes I have ever enjoyed. The zucchini was tender and wonderfully fried and the beef that was equally tender was brought together in a symphony of flavours that lingered long on the palate and even longer in the mind I am cooking this tomorrow night as my treat night dish). Wonderful plate of food and rounded off with a delicious very rare indeed) decaffeinated americano. A perfect end to a lovely meal. We spoke our limited Italian with the polite and patient waiters and told them to compliment the chef for us as we had one of the best meals of our lives, and we have eaten in some pretty spectacular places. All of a sudden the waiter brought two complimentary semifreddo desserts resplendent with nuts and fresh fruit which were quite amazing in terms of flavour and texture. This was unsolicited but we were very grateful. The customer service at Caffe Centrale is only matched by their superb food and beverages and I would recommend anyone walking by to pop in and be amazed. Nice though the setting is, the food and drinks are of a much higher level than you would expect and that is no slur on the wonderful character of the hotel caffe. Brilliant and well done all of you, we will be back because Mezzocorona has stolen our hearts. Thank you Rob and Amanda "
