Malga Ces — Restaurant in Comunità di Primiero

We chose this place for the excellent reviews. We booked a table prior to arrival (1 hour before), however we were not asked if we’d like to be seated outside or inside, I believe that given the bad weather on the 26/09/21 it should have been mentioned that they also have seatings outside. However nothing was mentioned and when we arrived at the restaurant (it was five of us), I entered with my boyfriend initially while everyone was outside admiring the beautiful view. we were greeted by an old man in an unpleasant manner and we were asked if we have a booking, and when we said yes, he asked if we booked the table inside or outside. We then replied saying probably inside given the weather and he sarcastically said “oh maybe inside”. For our luck the table was inside. When my boyfriend left outside to call the others, the man asked me to show my “green pass” and when I showed it to him he anyways kept giving me a really weird look from the beginning and when my name appeared he made a very racist comment and went on to say I have a very strange name while laughing rudely . He went on to do this to my two Iranian friends. I do not think this is the kind of a behavior and service you expect from a prestigious place as such. Apart from this the food was alright, however the we were served the food 5/10 minutes after ordering, so I actually wonder how fresh it was. My two Iranian friends did not speak Italian and the waitress was not patient enough while taking the order. She seemed to be getting annoyed that they couldn’t order fast enough. However we apologized for this. No vegetarian options offered as second plates: everything was meat based. Nevertheless the view was...

We discovered this alpine gem through Leonardo, an Italian film location scout. He wrote “I have found a mountain paradise for you. High above the old village. Amazing view. Tranquil setting. Superb restaurant.”. He was right. The staff was friendly and expert, all led by the warm and capable owners Maria-Giovanna and Marco. This albergo (inn) was recently restored, but has kept its old-world charm. The fine bed linens were crisp and ironed, the new bathrooms spotless. Different oriental rugs in each bed room. ||||The dining room overlooks a splendid vista down the valley. A friendly bar on one end, the capacious kitchen on the other. The chefs wear white hats and take their cooking seriously. I had local prosciutto and fresh mozzarella buffa for a starter, and then a hearth-roasted selection of tender local lamb and pork tenderloin. The wine selection was carefully chosen by Marco from the nearby Trentino area. The apple strudel was delicately flavored, not to mention an array of homemade fruit tarts. We finished with an expresso and a local grappa. ||||No need for a bus from the village, we skied directly to the private ski storage room, and even had lunch here daily, the food was so fine. Looking forward to coming back for hiking...
