I liked the atmosphere of the restaurant, the old style, castle like walls and furniture. In my opinion, the strange fake garden with the little pond and the plastic decoration is a no-go. The pretty round arches in the courtyard are used as storage room from what I could see. They are covered with reed mats, which do not fit at all and destroy the historical atmosphere of that place. The inner part of the restaurant looked like not used in a long time. Strange decoration here as well: big yellow thermometer. The waiters were very friendly and professional. The food was okay beside some little technical mistakes: warm chocolate was served with almost melted ice cream and only a little spoon, no cake fork. The soup with the various bread dumplings (canederli) would have been awesome if they canederli would not have been drowned in butter. Same for my main dish, gnocchi with blueberries. Very tasty but too greasy. Made me feel sick in the evening. The cleanliness in the whole restaurant was... Let's say, not convincing. First, I recognized the dirty water glasses and wine glasses on the table. Later we got plates which did not seem to be properly cleaned. Most shocking thing was the toilet. Not only that there was just one tiny room for men and women. The furnishings seemed broken and old (see photos). From my opinion, a nice place with a lot of room for improvement.

A big unexpected fail may be a useful reminder of how hard it is to run a restaurant that really works. Past the doors of the idyllic patio with fountain, so much was wrong at la Cantinota: disengaged waiter never brought the promised additional bread for antipasto misti ordered because of the 30 min wait for risotto (!), which turned out too salty and mushy, canederli were dry like chewed gum, wine was poured into such large glasses that it looked and was skimpy--not to mention the fish in the pool with a skin problem and the toilet door that didn't lock... Small dysfunctions may happen, but such a string of them on top of missed classic recipes is unacceptable for the hefty price asked. So, overhaul needed in the kitchen and please get the loo door fixed and the fish healthy again!
Best place to eat in Italy, cuisine raffinée, product of high quality standard
Polenta with madhrooms was amazing. I couldn't stop to make a photo until I finished.
Amazing restaurant. One of my favourite Italian restaurants in Trento. They provide a wide food variety, including vegetarian dishes. Any kind of risotto they prepare is just amazing. The staff is also very kind and they are always willing to fulfill your requirements. I recommend to book in the evening, especially at the weekend.
