31/03/2025: Moonshine Sappada: a gastronomic certainty that never disappoints Whenever I can, I am happy to return to Moonshine in Sappada, and this time too the experience lived up to expectations. It wasn't my first visit, but every time they manage to surprise me with carefully crafted dishes and perfectly balanced flavours. We went for lunch and started with a fried egg on Gorgonzola and broccoli cream, an appetizer that was able to enhance the contrast between the creaminess of the cheese and the delicacy of the vegetables, with the yolk that tied everything together in a sublime way. Followed by a deer cooked to perfection, accompanied by a pear cooked in saffron and star anise, a refined combination that added a deep, spicy note to the meat, enhancing the flavor without overpowering it. The onion soup was another great classic masterfully executed: warm, enveloping and with that irresistible gratin that made every spoonful a small pleasure. But the real strong point of Moonshine remain the desserts, always surprising and with attention to the smallest details. A perfect ending to a lunch that confirms, once again, the quality of this restaurant. In addition to the excellent cuisine, what makes Moonshine special is the service and hospitality, which are difficult to find elsewhere. The staff is attentive, helpful and capable of making you feel at home, without ever being intrusive. Hospitality that truly makes the difference and makes each visit a unique experience. If you are looking for a place to eat well in Sappada, with a warm atmosphere and impeccable service, Moonshine is a safe choice. I'll be back as soon as I can!
