We had an amazing lunch at this restaurant. To start, the drive to the restaurant once you leave the freeway is incredibly scenic along a windy road next to the vineyard. The views from the restaurant are stunning. There's a beautiful area with outdoor Seating, as well as a nice section with comfortable chairs inside. The service was top-notch - really impeccable. The food was outstanding - very creative, with great combinations, and beautiful plating. We wished we could eat like this more often. We ordered one "terroir" tasting menu as well as a dish that was offered a la carte (the riso e bollicine - highly recommended). This was plenty of food for two of us for lunch, and they were kind enough to split all the dishes before serving them to us - really a nice gesture. We enjoyed each and every dish - in particular the risotto and the rabbit, as well as a number of the amuse bouches. We asked if they could pair the dishes with sparkling wines, which they did - the wines were delicious, and the progression was great. At the end of the meal, the servers brought the chef out to meet us, even though we hadn't asked. It felt that everyone went out of their way to be nice to us - we would happily return in a heartbeat.

3. Oro Stube

As one of the few restaurants in Povo, Oro Stube provides good quality food and is very accommodating for people living outside of Trento. The restaurant is large and easily accommodates large groups. The service staff is very friendly. The wooden walls and decor give the feel of a homestyle restaurant. With this in mind, I wouldn't recommend it as a "couples' restaurant", but rather one that you would feel comfortable bringing grandma and grandpa along to. But don't msiunderstand -- this type of restaurant is important to Trentino culture.
My wife and I ordered pizza and salad, but the menu has many other nice selections. The pizza was good quality, but if you're in the mood for a good pizza, there are other better options. Again, if you're a large group or a family (or if one of your group members wants pizza), Oro Stube is a good consideration.

We were guests of the hotel, after the spa, hot days, wonderful sightseeing the best thing to do is stay at the hotel, because after all the cuisine was just a traditional Trentino!!!!!! Every day we tried a different fish and a different wine.... The best! And the guest of the hotel has 10% off. The hospitality is the best.

This was recommended by our B&B Host. It was one of the best meals we had on our trip. The menu was super interesting and the wine list very good. Our appetizer was Tartare of Bronzino, decadent! Prima Piatti was tagatelli with rabbit, and then a steak for two which was "out of this world"! Our wine was a "vin nobile from Montelcino" which complemented the meal perfectly. The chocolate mousse cake was excellent.

Straight but interesting dishes form the heart of the Italian tradition in this lovely osteria. Such as the 'casonzei', traditional from Ampezzo, pasta filled with a beetroot puree', dressed with clarified butter, breadcrumbs, poppy seeds: great. Also excellent was the other primo of aubergine ravioli, the dominant flavour that of a smoked ricotta.
The mains were simple and good: venison 'scottadito', with tasty roasted potatoes, and a beef goulash, perfectly tenderised and served with canederli. Very tender also the cabbage on the side.
The desserts were classics: 'zuppa inglese' and tiramisu, very well made.
This a family run restaurant, in a village at 500 meters altitude at less than 15 minutes drive from Trento (or a short cable-car trip). At the the helm in the kitchen the young female chef, who with her simplicity and her delicate and balanced hand will treat you to proper traditional Italian cuisine. The room is basic but warm. Service is friendly and generous, Prices are very reasonable, portions are also generous.
7. Al Gusto

Al Gusto is a nice alternative to the hustle and bustle of Trento's city center. It's only about a kilometer's walk from Piazza Fiera, located near one of the tributaries to the Adige River -- a lovely area frequented by many of the locals. Al Gusto is a small home-style restaurant where you can see the activities of the chef as you're waiting for your food. The atmosphere is simple but cozy -- a very good if you desire a private date. The prices are comparable to other sit-down restaurants in Trento.
The food itself is simple, yet flavorful and the portions are reasonable. My wife ordered their house dish, which was braised chicken with a slightly smokey flavor. I ordered the "Mix di Pesce" (lightly fried calamari). I was surprised to see how many calamari they served. The calamari were lightly breaded and seasoned, which allowed the natural flavors to run their course.
I've seen more fanciful food presentations, but again, the simplicity of the restaurant is much appreciated. If you want to see the quieter side of Trento yet stay within walking distance of the center, Al Gusto is an excellent choice.

The inn and winehouse S. Martino is situated in the ancient ward of San Martino, that was formerly an harbour of Adige river, and is located 656,17 feet from the famous Buonconsiglio castle. San Martino is contemporary furnished with 30 seats. The peculiarity of this place is the daily seasonal menu with a restrained but tasteful wine list. We use only fresh ingredients and desserts and pasta are all homemade.

This was one of the best dinners we ever had -and at a very reasonable price. We were very lucky: the owner offered that day a 5 course menu , every course made with Nosiola wine, and every course with a different glas of Nossiola wine! All included for 38 Euro per person! Excellent dining! Absolutely recommendable!

I was been living in Trento for 5 years, and I still go very often for personal reasons, hence I would say that I know the local restaurants quite a bit.
So believe me when I say that this place is quite overrated on TripAdvisor. It ranks among the top restaurants in the region, but I do not understand on what grounds. Location-wise, it is good but not better than your average not-down-in-the-valley restaurant. Plus, it is not the most accessible of restaurants with similar view of the Adige valley. It is family run, as most mountain restaurants in Trento. The lady who attended our table was polite but not exactly friendly - which is very Trentinian, so it's fine. Service is also fine, but not memorable. You can say the same for the food: everything was good and genuine, but not better than any other hut-restaurant. Especially the "tortel", which based on the reviews that I read, was nothing special. It was good, but tortel is generally good, and I wouldn't say that it was better than the average tortel you can eat around Trento (though mind you, it's also possible to find bad ones). Let me also add that the available alternatives were especially limited, also for a mountain restaurant. In similar restaurants around Trento you can find same quality, same fresh products and (relatively) more choices.
As a first course. we had a selection of first courses (canederli and gnocchi of 4 different types), which were good but served in very small amounts (meaning: one of a kind, for a total of four tiny items). One kind was especially good, though the other three were average if not below average. As a second course, we had the tortel with cold cuts and cheese. The serving of tortel was very generous, as were the cold cuts. The cheese could have been more. At the end of the meal we were quite full, but that is hardly a surprise when you eat tortel (potato + egg + flour = you get stuffed quite easily).
If I remember correctly they only have bottled beer, which is quite of below what you would expect (but I am not 100% about it).

It is a pizzeria with short list of non pizza items. They have only one type of pasta dish in their menu. Servers are not fluent in their spoken english.
