Restaurants in the province of Trento

Trentino lies between Lake Garda and the Dolomites, and the cooking changes with altitude: olive oil and lemons low down, butter and game high up.

What you eat here

• Canederli and strangolapreti, bread-and-spinach dumplings with melted butter and sage.
• Carne salada — beef cured with salt and herbs, served raw in thin slices or seared with beans.
• Trentingrana, Puzzone di Moena DOP and Vezzena, three very different mountain cheeses.
• Storo polenta, yellow and full-flavoured, with luganega sausage.
• Garda Trentino DOP olive oil and stream trout, smoked or *in carpione*.

The wine

Trentodoc is mountain traditional-method sparkling wine, among Italy's best; then Teroldego Rotaliano, a dark red from the plain, Marzemino, and Nosiola, from which Vino Santo is made.
