Instant confirmation or on request: what actually changes
On the same page, two restaurants can behave in two different ways. The difference isn’t cosmetic: it’s whether the table is yours or not.

Where the listings come from, and why they’re sometimes wrong
No restaurateur asked to be here. That’s why the catalogue is broad, and it’s also why it goes stale.

«All verified»: what it means, and what it doesn’t
Here a review is tied to a meal that took place. It is an inconvenient rule — it shuts a lot of people out — and everything that «all verified» can promise lives inside it.

Eating in Trento
Trento is an Alpine city that speaks Italian and cooks the way the Alps cook: bread, cheese, butter and very little sea.
The dishes
- Canederli — stale-bread dumplings with speck or cheese, in broth or with melted butter. The first thing to order;
- Strangolapreti — bread and spinach dumplings with butter and sage;
- Carne salada — beef cured in salt and spices, served raw and thin or seared with beans. It comes from the lower Sarca valley and is the most recognisable Trentino dish;
- Storo polenta, deep yellow and full-flavoured, with luganega sausage or venison.
The cheeses
Puzzone di Moena DOP, Trentingrana, Casolét and the alpine-hut cheeses: ordered on a board with honey and mostarda.
In the glass
Trentodoc is mountain bottle-fermented sparkling wine; among the still wines are Teroldego Rotaliano, Marzemino and the Vino Santo of the Valle dei Laghi.
Opening hours and closing days change. The ones on the listings come from public sources and may be out of date. Where a restaurant confirms tables with us, the availability you see is the real one.
