It seems many Italians go out of their ways for a lunch or dinner at Tito / Il Maso dello Speck…read more It's smart to book even a few hours ahead if you want to eat here, particularly on a weekend. Staff are very busy, friendly, and waiters come in any language you could wish for. They overdo a little on the Tyrolean interior and costumed staff, but at least opt for a backdrop of soft rock music; not sure if intentional, but it did break the folklore healthily for us to scrape clear of a too kitschy setting! Tito's food is certainly centered around the meat and sausage dishes they specialize in; vegetarian options come with mushrooms or cheese, cheese, cheeses, and dumplings. We really liked what we had - traditional, uncomplicated dishes, well executed, portion sizes that go well with the extended hikes one tends to do before in this area of Italy. The breads were a little stale - no complaints otherwise. Oh, and their Panna Cotta dessert is outright heavenly, not sure I ever had this done that creamy and well... Do check out their adjacent shop. It's not cheap (e.g. wines go between 10-65€), but offers a great chance to sample some more extravagant bacon varieties such as filet speck...

A butchers that serves hot food? Went Snowboming and this place was my saviour!…read more After piste-in' around in the mountains go down the Penkenbahn lift and grab yourself a roast pork roll. Scratch that, grab a roll for your journey up the lift then after an afternoon of shenanigans on the piste (if like me only went up the mountain to sit at the bar) grab a rack of ribs and potato wedges... then throw some chicken nuggets in there too. A place that won't break the bank balance and leave you with a lot more money to buy loads of the cute lil Jägermeister baby bottles!

If you've ever been to Snowbombing, you know that no matter how hard you try, you'll never be up…read morethe first lift in the morning. That's where Gasser saves the day-- drop by there for half a roast chicken or one of their many meats-in-rolls to go and eat it on the Penkenbahn. The duration of the lift is the perfect amount of time for a quick brunch so you don't have to spend any more time away from the slopes! Really recommend the ribs and schnitzel in particular, but everything in there is so affordable you should probably just go back every day for lunch and devour it all!

GOAT HOUSE! that is what it should be called. the whole place is dedicated to goats. You can see…read morehow they make the most lovely cheeses, learn about it and try it.
