My wife has a diet that is probably the worst thing to have while traveling in Europe: gluten-free. All of the great breads, pies, pastries, etc.
But she found this restaurant on the square, close to our hotel. I went in expecting it to be decent. And boy was I wrong...
The head manager/owner greeted us and got us seated, and we proceeded to have one of the best meals I've had in a long time. The staff were genuine, professional, but also real. They were funny, even. The food was perfect... It wasn't over-the-top in trying to be too fancy, too "fusioned," or anything of the sort. It wasn't anything other than sublime. Beef tagliata with shaved truffle, which my wife cleaned every morsel of - and my roasted spring chicken had this subtle flavoring and perfect level of roasting that let all of the flavors work beautifully.
We ended up having dessert and two glasses of a delicious amaro - and much laughter with our very sharp and lively serving team...
It was an amazing evening, and to add to our own enjoyment, the whole mood of the place was truly warm and friendly, full of locals who knew it to be a great spot to dine.
I'll definitely be back. This place just passed up several of the more "chic" and "classic/classy" spots in this beautiful town - and there is some real competition in Bolzano. Thank you for a glorious evening, Walther's!
