Zur Alten Schmiede In Castelrotto

26/08/2025: Very nice area where you can have a coffee or something to eat. Very clean bathrooms, even hand cream after washing with the liquid soap from the same range. Can be purchased at the bar

26/08/2025: Slide into Restaurant Nives in the Dolomites and you instantly get that snug, wood-and-warmth cocoon vibe. Amber glasses catch the light, linens are quietly chic, and the room hums at a soft, happy volume. It’s the kind of cozy interior where you loosen your scarf, exhale, and know dinner’s going to be good. Wine first, obviously. Their list is a mini atlas of Italy—glasses if you’re grazing, bottles if you’re settling in. From Alto Adige whites to serious Barolo and Brunello, the sommelier nudges you toward pairings that actually make sense with the mountain-driven menu. Now, that Alpin Beef Rib Eye. You can smell the sizzle before it lands. Thick-cut, rosy-centred, rimmed with glossy fat, crowned with rosemary—juicy, minerally, deeply beefy. It comes with sauces but needs nothing more than a sprinkle of salt. Order the Pannocchia on the side: sweet kernels and rustic corn notes that play perfect backup. Pasta people, don’t skip the Ravioli plin tartufo. Tiny cocoa-tinted parcels, rich meaty filling, and a black truffle lift that feels like walking through a pine forest after rain. If you’re in a leaner mood, the Filetto di cervo is finesse on a plate—silky deer fillet, careful sear, clean flavours, pretty veg. Bottom line: great food, real hospitality, and a wine program with range. Cozy place to linger after a day in the mountains—your cheeks warm, your glass full, your fork always finding its way back.
