We all love Italian food, don’t we? So it’s no surprise that you’ll find lots of great food in Trento. Here’s a short list of restaurants and bars I enjoyed.

Green Tower

The Green Tower menu is a typical Italian and Austrian food mix: from pasta to apple strudels. The interior is a bit kitschy white with the wooden decoration of an apres-ski hut. There is plenty of outdoor seating outside, very nice in the summer months. Green Tower does not serve culinary highlights, but it does guarantee good, tasty portions.

Pizzeria Uva e Menta

Pizzeria Uva e Menta is known for fantastic pizzas. There is a small raised terrace in front of the door. On a sunny day, you have to choose your spot strategically. Otherwise, you will melt away. Order an Italian specialty beer with your pizza; the service staff knows exactly which beer goes well with your pizza and even with your dessert!

Tip! If you have the time, you can also opt for a streetfood tour, learn how to make pasta and tiramisu, or eat at someone’s home.

Bar La Vie en Rose

I first walk past Bar La Vie en Rose a few times when it’s closed. It closes at 9 p.m. Very early for Italian standards. So I join in for lunch. It is a small place with small tables with homemade Italian dishes. The interior is attractive and full of vintage details. Bar La Vie en Rose is also a popular bar for a cocktail later in the afternoon.

Bar Pasi

One of the loveliest squares in Trento is the Piazza Mario Pasi. Here, you can sit comfortably while people-watching. The staff takes time for the guests, a little less for cleaning the tables. Bar Pasi serves good snacks during the aperitivo. So definitely order an Aperol Spritz or Trentodoc and relax. Bar Pasi serves good snacks during the aperitivo.

Gelateria Cherry Trento

A rumor quickly spread among the visitors to Traverse. Before long, everyone was talking about Gelateria Cherry Trento. This would be the best ice cream shop in all of Trento. Now, I haven’t tried all the ice cream shops in Trento, but I can tell you that Cherry Trento never disappointed. Cherry Trento’s gelatos are really worth it.

Ristorante Al Vo

Ristorante Al Vo is one of the oldest restaurants in Trento. It’s a good but simple restaurant with hearty, rustic dishes. So expect a carpaccio on the menu, but one made of excellent meat. Or think of an authentic risotto with a local twist. The service staff is very helpful when you get lost in the Italian menu.

Birreiria Pedavena

With so many Austrian influences in Italian Trento, you cannot avoid a bier garten. It is actually more of a colossal beer room with a maze of corridors and spaces. Don’t drink too many beers, because you are bound to get lost. We had one of the Traverse drinks here, and that was much fun; check the opening photo of the video below: cheers!

Birreiria Pedavena brews its own beer, so you eat between the huge brew kettles. Just simple pub food. Nice place for a simple meal and then one more beer. No, really, just one more. Ok, after this one.
