"On our way to Kronplatz we stopped by for lunch here in Brixen and loved the whole experience – highly recommend this family run place. The service is professional, kind, fast, formal and attentive in both German and Italian. The à la carte menu is modern but strongly linked to traditional Austrian and Italian cuisine with a great selection of seasonal and local dishes – also the wine list provides a great selection of pairings by the glass to the menu. From the foods execution to the presentation, nothing was missed and everything tasted great and looked superb. Recommending trying the soup made with Sylvaner wine from the Isarco valley. Also the Spaghetti with fresh truffle – simple yet unbelievably delicious"

"Beautiful summer evening dining in the (covered) terraced garden with soft lighting and rain falling upon the grape vines and an exquisite meal prepared with care and impeccable service to match. We took the Territorium & Piscis menus (the menus have changed since the last ones I see posted here from 10 months ago) plus a few add-ons as we couldn't help ourselves. All the dishes were stand-out; I especially recall the delicate yet richly-flavoured shrimp soup which I had previously been hesitant to try. Below this genteel restaurant is wine bar/tapas restaurant that is also run in the family and being seated in this airy treehouse-like platform, it was dreamy to be surrounded by the scrim of greenery and vine leaves yet through it still hear the gentle melody of clinking glasses and laughter and happy voices bubbling up from the courtyard below."
