Ristorante Etschgrund In Postal

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. Julia & Thomas from faraway Stendal

You can immediately tell that this restaurant is a family-run business, managed with pure passion. The hosts are incredibly friendly and attentive – you feel instantly welcome. The food was simply exquisite and prepared to perfection. Furthermore, the restaurant is very tastefully and comfortably furnished. We will definitely be back!

I found the restaurant via Google; the owner is really friendly and greets guests with a handshake. The food was delicious, I would definitely come back.

A lovely restaurant serving typical South Tyrolean dishes. It's a family-run business, and the owners truly embody hospitality and a passion for gastronomy. The owner makes you feel genuinely welcome. The food was excellent. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Highly recommended. The owner is always laughing. The service is very friendly and attentive. The food was fantastic, 5 stars for the chef. 10 out of 10! We'll be back and recommend it to others!

We arrived an hour before closing and received a very warm welcome from the entire restaurant team! The food was excellent, as was the atmosphere. They clearly place great importance on hospitality. Thank you – we would definitely come back! :-)

They recommended it to us for the asparagus. And I have to say, we were more than satisfied. Delicious asparagus and friendly, courteous staff.

We ate here on Saturday without a reservation, but it wasn't a problem. The dining room is very cozy. The menu is small but excellent, and they also offer daily specials that you won't find everywhere. For starters, we chose flatbread noodles with venison ragout, and for our main courses, we ordered veal cheeks with vegetables and rice, and dumplings with venison goulash. Everything was truly delicious. The prices are slightly higher, but the value for money is excellent, and we even received a complimentary amuse-bouche. The owner is very friendly; everything was perfect, and we highly recommend it!

The Etschgrund is always worth a visit. Very delicious.

Highly recommended! We've been coming here several times a year for years and are always very satisfied. The food is excellent (especially the pumpkin cream soup, Wiener Schnitzel, tagliata, and tiramisu). The owner and staff are very friendly and welcoming. We always enjoy coming back!
