A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"We celebrated New Year’s here and the experience was absolutely beautiful. The atmosphere was quiet and festive. The tables were beautifully arranged and the food was amazing! Service was great and the staff helpful & friendly. Would 1000% recommend."
"I went there for my birthday, to enjoy a romantic dinner with my wife. The restaurant is simply amazing: delicious and good variety of dishes, great wine selection and very friendly and professional service. I totally recommend it. Their terrace is amazing!"
"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"
"We had a lovely lunch, wine was wonderful and the atmosphere was amazing. Very beautiful, historic place. But portions were really small. Not worth the money if you leave hungry."
"Excellent service and amazing food! All dish were beautifully served on a plate like a work of art! I love the fact that they cook seasonally, using local products. Everything tastes fresh, flavours were well balanced, heaven in my mouth! Highly recommend!!!!"
"Nice terrace, enclosed by buildings with plants. Maybe the best terrace in Brixen? Good food, big wine list. No natural wine."
"A very pleasant lunch. The atmosphere is beautiful, the service, food, and wine are great. Recommended."
"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."
