Service was prompt. Their menu is nicely done, with wine recommendations for each of the dining options. My wife ordered the seasonal pumpkin soup along with their seasonal insalata Cascade salad. I ordered their seasonal pasta with pumpkin and ham. We ordered the recommended glasses of wine and they were a nice match for the meal orders. All of the dishes were nicely prepared. Overall, highly recommended.

The Lagrein grape is native to the valleys of South Tyrol. It is a nicely balanced tannic red wine. The wine prices are very reasonable. For starters we shared a salad. For main courses I selected the Lamb chop special and my wife ordered the Goulash. Both dishes we wonderfully prepared. For dessert we shared the apple strudel. The service was very attentive throughout our meal. Overall: Excellent. Reservations are highly recommended.

I had carbonara pasta and it was good/nothing special but definitely not worth EUR17. Seems like it is a busy place for dinner as Google has good reviews. That's how we found this place, too. My friend had the tomato sauce pasta with half lobster. Lobster was tiny and it was almost EUR40... he did not like with the quality of the lobster and the pasta. Giving two stars just because of the good location.

The salad bar was outstanding (so fresh, it's probably locally grown). The items with the local bacon speciality were also particularly good (Speck Knödel and Krautsalat with Speck). We also had spaghetti pomodoro and the noodles were top notch (of course it's Italy). The beef in the "Geröstetes" was nothing special (well, it was good beef, but I'm not really a big fan of beef), but the rest was delicious. The portions are generous, but not ridiculuous Even with only one waitress for 6 tables, service was excellent. The waitress also spoke excellent English (and understood what it means to be Vegetarian). The restrooms were also spotless. Overall, without alcohol or dessert, the bill came to €22/person, which is a good price for the quality and quantity of food. I'd go there again without hesitation, except the Vegetarian options are limited (as in most of Kastelruth/Castelrotto).

We weren't so familiar with the wines and the waiters were about to point us in directions that matched our taste and they had tons of very reasonably priced options. We sat outside on a lovely weekend night and enjoyed the Caprese salad, which had just enough pesto and an ample amount of mozzarella cheese. This came with potato chips (lovely?), two pieces of cured meat, some of the plumpest olives I've ever had, and a variety of breads. I'm not sure if it's just me that doesn't understand the regional breads but everything in the area was pretty hard and this was no exception. I didn't dislike it but I didn't totally understand it. Great pre-dinner option to walk in for.

I was recommended a Kerner wine that was excellent. La Cercia has a nice selection of meats and cheeses that can accompany your wine / coctails. Overall a relaxing and nice experience.
