Bar Trattoria Mainardo

Such a lovely spot! It feels like dining in someone’s living room. The service is incredibly warm and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. The food was excellent—no complaints at all. We also tried the Prosecco, Americano, and red wine with our main dishes, and everything was great. At one point, the lights went out, but it actually added to the fun—people turned on their phone lights, clapped, and enjoyed the moment. They had it fixed within a minute or so. Overall, a fantastic experience, and I’d definitely come back. Just make sure you book it in advance, it was full on a random Tuesday night.

Well cooked mittle-Europa nosh. Rustic and authentic. Loved it. If you're calorie counting, maybe steer clear of the cheese based dishes, the quantity is abundant. Tasted great. Will go again.

Nice restaurant with good Italian food. Pasta and serve were great. The empty plates in the end says it all 😂

Very very tasty food and a warm welcome with great service! All the recommendations from the staff were excellent. You have the choice between south Tirol and Italian dishes Both from Antipasti, Primi and Secondi. Also the wine recommendations were good.

Wonderful people serving wonderful food. Make a reservation in advance

Finding authentic Italian (and South Tyrolian) food in Meran is not easy, especially if you want something that's a bit less touristic than the average restaurant, which you would find on one of the main streets. Luckily we found this little gem of a restaurant which is operated by a small family, with the "mama" in firm control 🤗 Our first attempt to get a table was in vain because the place is kind of small and the reputation is obviously not a secret anymore - it is packed from the first minute they open (7 pm) until the close. So, a reservation is definitely in order! We ended up eating there twice within three days and were super happy with everything we had. Between the five of us we tried most meals on the (small) handwritten menu... Bruschetta, Focachia, pasta Carbonara, Bolognese, Ravioli, Gulasch, Tiramisu, cake... Everything was freshly homemade and you could taste it. Mama and her daughter took good care of us and made sure we could barely walk when we left (because we ate too much) 😂 The open wine was good enough to have with dinner. The value for money here is the best I found in Meran. I cannot recommend this little family business more!

It was the first place where I ate just I arrived and last one where I ate before I left Merano…super…Very simple and super delicious authentic Italian dishes…also the stuff are very friendly, from the waiter till the chef…u find many locals there, which says a lot. Enjoy.

Excellent dinner! After a very long day of travel, we came here and were treated to excellent service and food, plus great vibes of the location. Recommend a 100%!
