"This restaurant is an institution in Bozen and we were very happy to celebrate our wedding anniversary there. The food is traditional and delicious. There are various dishes for vegetarians (with a vegetarian section in the menu). The front of the restaurant is nicer and more atmospheric than the extension at the back. The prices are reasonable and this place is certainly worth dressing up for and making a special effort to visit."

"Traditional local cuisine, beautifully decorated with pairings and lot of small details of an alpine Brauhaus. The menu offers daily specials and many local favorites. Food is delicious and even though it’s a popular spot, that was quite packed, it arrived rather quick.
It took us some time to get seated."
Jordan Racek
"Perplexity recommended this restaurant to us. I instantly knew that it was a good recommendation because there was a line to get in and there were mostly locals. A very large restaurant with a great hustle and bustle to it. The local plates dominate, and so it was very easy to order.
I chose the canederli soup and the milanesa and my wife mini gnocchi with a cheese sauce to die for.
Had a great crispy local beer on tap as well.
We were driving through from the dolomites down to Venice and it’s just so wonderful in Italy how you can stop in a local town and eat significantly different food two hours away. Just wonderful. Dog friendly too"

Dove mangiare a Bolzano
Tra le tavole storiche della città, questa ha alle spalle oltre cinquant’anni di attività a gestione familiare. Lo raccontano le sale del locale, che d’inverno accoglie gli ospiti nelle caratteristiche stube (d’estate è preferibile il giardino), e un menu che parla la lingua della tradizione tirolese, eseguita con fedeltà, dai canederli con speck al tafelspitz (bollito con rafano e verdure), all’immancabile Wiener Schnitzel (cotoletta alla viennese). Vini del territorio ad annaffiare il tutto, conto leggero.Cavallino Bianco – via Bottai, 6 – 0471 973267 – weissesroessl.org
I ristoranti tipici dove mangiare a Bolzano
La trattoria più antica di Bolzano, gestita dal 1957 dalla famiglia Anrather: il Cavallino Bianco è un locale molto accogliente, con una buona qualità-prezzo. Servizio veloce, vasta scelta sul menu con proposte del giorno e piatti abbondanti. Da provare, in questo periodo, le zuppe, come quella di zucca, il Gulasch di manzo con polenta e il Piatto del Contadino: carré, puntine di maiale, salsiccia, wurstel, patate saltate e canederlo.
Weekend in Bolzano
Deciding we still had room for dinner a few hours later, we headed to Il Cavallino Bianco (also recommended by Chiara) where we sampled spaetzl (spinach-potato dumplings similar to gnocchi) and served with speck, pork roast with potatoes, and more canederli. All of the food was off-the-charts amazing, as one would expect food in Christmasland to be. Expect recipes for homemade pretzels and canederli on the blog soon.

My first stop was a walk-by of a restaurant I knew would be closed, Cavallino Bianco. This is a very traditional establishment, in operation since the 12th century, initially built to serve the vendors in the surrounding markets. It still has shared tables, and the extensive menu features many time-honored local specialities, including leberknodel, bauernplatte, deer stew, and goulash.
