22/05/2026: This year we visited the Adige Valley for the third time, and it looks like we'll be returning tomorrow, our last day of vacation. This isn't due to convenience, as we're staying practically next door at the equally recommendable Gruberhof, but simply because the food in the Adige Valley is incredibly delicious, and the hospitality is unbelievable.
It starts with the complimentary amuse-bouche every time, a thoughtful touch that's become so rare in many restaurants these days. The menu itself isn't extensive, but the quality is exceptional. You can taste that someone who truly understands their craft (the hostess's son) is at the helm, and they're passionate about it. At the same time, Helga, the hostess, is such a lovely and warm hostess that you almost feel like part of the family. And you'll get to know them all anyway: the friendly daughter, who also serves quickly and attentively, and the incredibly funny grandma, who at 92 years old sits sprightly in front of her liter of beer and simply fits right in with the charming atmosphere of a traditional inn.
Although located directly on the road, you hardly notice the traffic noise, even in the beer garden, unless some young man with a small penis feels the need to demonstrate the power of his souped-up Audi with a loud exhaust at the car wash across the street. Otherwise, it's fine, and it's quiet inside anyway.
The price-performance ratio is really quite good, especially considering the quality of the food. My beloved paccheri pasta with veal ragout and truffles cost €16.90 (as of 2026), which is more than fair. Even South Tyrol manages to offer worse food for more money, for example at the Römerkeller in Merano (I can only advise against this dive), whereas in the Adige Valley you're always in good hands. And for any recovering alcoholics who want to relapse: there's always a free schnapps at the end... All the best and thank you for your hospitality, dear Helga and the entire team at the Adige Valley. Should we ever cross the Alps again like Hannibal (only in the opposite direction) and land in the sunny Adige Valley, we'll gladly stay with you again.
