Il Posto di Ste — Restaurant in Territorio Val d'Adige

ENG: Il Posto di Ste is a gem of a cozy little restaurant, hidden away in a narrow street in downtown Trento. Contrary to most of the restaurants in this area, it does not offer typical local dishes to attract the tourists but instead has an incredibly solid menu of Italia classic pasta dishes, with top notch ingredients and a spotless execution. It is clear at the first bite that a lot of research has been put into both selecting the ingredients and perfecting the recipes. Their carbonara is honestly one of the best I had so far in Italy, and outshines many 'famous' places I tried in Rome (which is where the dish is originally from). Their wine selection is also impressive, featuring some of the best wines from the Alps to Sicily. Make sure to stop here if you pass by Trento.

ITA: il Posto di Ste è un gioiello ben nascosto in un vocoletto nel centro di Trento. A differenza della maggior parte dei ristoranti in questa zona, non offre piatti tipici locali per attrarre i turisti, ma punta invece sui classici primi italiani, con ingredienti di prima categoria e esecuzione impeccabile. È chiaro immediatamente fin dal primo assaggio che c'è un grosso lavoro di ricerca sia nella selezione degli ingredienti che nel perfezionamento delle ricette. La loro carbonara è onestamente una delle migliori che io abbia mangiato, compreso in molti posti 'famosi' a Roma. La loro cantina è altrettanto ricercata, con alcuni dei migliori vini prodotti dalle Alpi alla Sicilia. Consiglio a tutti di fermarsi a provare il Posto di Ste, se...

About the service, we asked for an English menu and the waiter suggested us using Google Translator in a way which made us felt like that we are from the Stone Age who didn’t know the existence of modern technology; could have done that with a nicer & more friendly tone, even though he provided the option of explaining things himself, but judging from the suggestion-tone, I would say no thank you! One of my friend ordered a beer, the waiter “threw” the beer mat at him, definitely the first time I have seen someone doing that to a customer in a restaurant, we were all shocked at the way he handed the mat for sure. About the food, the pastas we ordered were colder than we expected, just slightly above-room-temperature hot, which is strange. The carbonara I ordered, was definitely not up to my expectations, the Guanciale had the fat part extremely soft (looked undercooked), and it makes me wonder if the pasta was really freshly cooked, otherwise it should be crunchier. I have been to many restaurants in Trento now, this is definitely not one that I would recommend to any of my friends. Because of the service, and the average-level...

Perfect final night dinner in Trento in a torch-lit alleyway after a day visiting producers in a stupendous Alpine Trentino. “Il Posto di Ste” @ilpostodisteprimi is a lovely little wine restaurant in Trento ( Trentino) Italia, serving versions of classic favorite dishes from across regions of Italy with fresh local ingredients and talent. The starter of Sicilian style (incredibly tender, chewy) bread with Sicilian olive oil, and sea salt was so delicious. The rigatoni alla gricia (my favorite pasta from Rome) was indulgent and cooked perfectly, was even more delicious accompanied with a glass of Schiava wine, made of the local indigenous grape by the same name. ( tough to decide which wine from their curated list). To end the evening- Amaro Jefferson. “E’ una meraviglia”. Despite its American, sounding name, It’s an Amaro from Calabria, Italy. I just learned about it a few days ago from an Italian wine educator colleague, then my server suggested it. Lovely venue, friendly and...
