La Cantinota is one of the most famous historic restaurants in Trento, active since 1954 in the heart of the historic centre, a short walk from the Castello del Buonconsiglio. Located in a charming sixteenth-century building, the restaurant combines elegance, history and gastronomic tradition in a welcoming environment with stone vaults, large living rooms and a characteristic internal garden where it is pleasant to stop in the mildest seasons. The cuisine offers a tasty reinterpretation of the Trentino and Italian traditions, with particular attention to the quality of the raw materials and the seasonality of the products. Among the specialties you will find risotto (one of the workhorses), potato cake, game dishes, Trentino truffle, canederli and other typical recipes, all accompanied by a selection of fine local and national wines.
In addition to traditional dining, La Cantinota is also a place of entertainment and conviviality: in the after-dinner evenings the restaurant offers piano bars, DJ sets and live music, creating a lively and welcoming atmosphere for a varied audience of residents and visitors.
It is a recommended stop for those who want to discover the flavours of the area in an elegant setting rich in history.
