Franziskanerstuben

We have been to this restaurant several times. Nice atmosphere, great staff and very tasty food! I definitely recommend visiting!

What an amazing experience! This quaint, historic restaurant serves excellent cuisine of South Tyrol. The pumpkin soup and the starter of local speck, boar sausage, Alpine cheese board are both addicting. Lasagnette with chestnuts, pumpkin and melted tyrol cheese, homemade chestnut linguine with walnuts, Roasted ox and the Dumplings are all outstanding dishes. The bread basket was fantastic. High quality cuisine at a very reasonable price makes this place a jewel! The service was professional, friendly and efficient despite the fact they were very busy. Do yourself a favor and come in early!

One of the few places open on Sunday, you’ll need to make a reservation but it’s worth it! The servers are efficient and friendly. My husband had the schnitzel (he said it was good) and I had the marroni & pumpkin lasagna with truffle oil and it was fantastic! Seriously, it was very delicious. I will return for more 👍🏼

Last meal in Bolzano. Very happy with the offerings. Even though I had the goulash there is an extensive vegetarian offering which my significant other enjoyed. We were there on a Sunday night from 6pm. It was lovely evening to sit outside without the normal evening crowds.

I was eating alone which isn't usually the most genial dining experience, but the food and service at Franziskanerstuben were really excellent. I can recommend the linguine with prawn tails, and the goulash, both very good indeed.

Attracted by stunning menu, we reserved a dinner for two. The restaurant, from the outside gives you the idea of a typical and autoctone tavern, but when you get in it starts to give all that good feeling and warming charm typical of those mountains villages. Staff were suit in their traditional clothes and were also really friendly. We ordered simple and traditional dishes, cooked with supreme mastery and tasted three tasteful and autoctone wine. Food experience was really awesome, really recommended!

The food was fantastic, and the service was excellent. One staff member, in particular, stood out for being exceptionally attentive—I regret not asking for his name! The atmosphere was wonderful: calm, authentic, and tranquil. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a delightful dining experience.

I traveled to Italy by myself, and my first encounter with blatant racism was in Bolzano! I was the only Asian customer in the restaurant, and there was a strange object in my drink—this only happened to me. This is extremely dangerous as the object was hidden under the foam and could have caused choking when consumed! A white customer nearby experienced a service error, and the waiter apologized profusely to him. However, when it happened to me, I just got a simple "sorry" and a replacement drink. The waiter clearly saw me calling him multiple times, but he deliberately ignored me and served others who came after me first. I was there before them, but he made me wait. While he was warm and attentive to other white customers, he treated me with blatant indifference and neglect. When I was leaving, the waiter warmly said goodbye to the white customers but completely ignored me, even though I was walking ahead of them. This place is an absolute disgrace! Not recommended!! Additionally, the bread served before the meal was not fresh, and the crackers had a noticeable stale oil taste.

What do you get when you are in the Italian alps next to Austria? A little bit of German and Italian. This Gastropub provided a little of both as the two countries menu collided into one. The space is charming and inviting. Reminding me of a German style restaurant with Italian Fresca art and venetian plaster. The energy in the dining room is so good, with people from all over the world dining and many languages speaking. The carefully curated wine selections from Alto Aidge, IT, a local producer provided the perfect pairings selected by our trip curator. The dinner was chosen for us starting with a salad that was shredded and extremely good. Exotic breads provided to soak up the table olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Then you moved onto the pasta veggie dish which had incredible flavoring in the sauce. Headed for the final course, was the buffalo meat. The chef Exquisitely executed a finale with an incredible citrus desert full of peaches. Service by Maria and her team was phenomenal. I highly recommend stopping at this restaurant while in Bolanzo.

Really enjoyed the meal, staff, and overall vibe of this eatery. Everyone was very kind when helping me navigate the menu. The food is authentic Austrian and Italian. I think it's a must try for food in the area.

We decided to leave the mountains and visit the largest city in the Sud Tyrol. Bolzano (Bozen) is known to be one of the nicest (and cleanest) city in Italy. We picked a Saturday which was extra special since all of the piazza's were filled with vendors of local produce. We had a great time visiting the vendors and purchasing the local products. For lunch we selected the FranziskanerStuben which was recommend by a number of locals. We were not disappointed. By the name, you can see that the restaurant menu would offer Austrian specialties. We loved the venue and each dish that we ordered. If you want one of the few seats outside, you will have to arrive early. Enjoy. It is one of the best in Bolzano.

Very much enjoyed my dinner and drinks here last week. The goulash was delicious as was the other courses. They were very friendly for a woman traveling solo. Would definitely eat here again and try more of the brews!

We stopped in Bolsano primarily to see Otzi (the Iceman) but we also wanted to try some of the Austrian influenced local cuisine. We were staying at the Goldenstern Guesthouse in the old part of town and they offered us a couple of glasses of prosecco at their associated restaurant around the corner. Checking it out we found a very nice place with lots of Austrian influenced dishes on the menu. Despite being the first guests of the night, we were warmly welcomed and provided with glasses of a nice prosecco. The menu looked great so we decided to stay for a light bite. We shared a deer carpacio appetizer. Thinly sliced raw deer with olives, mushrooms, arugula and parmesan. Delicious! The flavor of the meat really came through. We added some more wine and a couple of bowls of soup. My wife had the cream of asparagus soup. It was served with a bread stick wrapped in delicately flavored ham. The soup had a mild asparagus flavor that went perfectly with the ham. I had the lentil soup which was flavored with rosemary and came with matchsticks of a salty and smokey bacon that really complemented the soup. Lentil soup is sometimes a little grainy, but this was perfectly smooth and very pleasant to eat. It was so good that I couldn't resist mopping up the bowl with bread. We'd been eating our way through Italy and needed a light dinner so we didn't try any more of their dishes, but from what we had, and what I saw delivered to others around us, I'd definitely recommend this restaurant if you are in Bolsano.
