Ristorante Malga Panna

Ristorante Malga Panna sits on a hillside above Moena, the handsome town at the entrance to the Val di Fassa, the Ladin-speaking valley that runs into the Trentino Dolomites. The restaurant holds a Michelin star for refined Alpine and Trentino cuisine that draws on the ingredients of the surrounding mountains — Dolomite game, Alpine herbs and flowers, freshwater fish, mountain cheeses, and seasonal produce — composed with technical precision and a strong sense of place. The hillside position gives beautiful views over the valley, adding to the experience, and the dining room combines mountain warmth with the refinement appropriate to its star. The kitchen's tasting menus follow the seasons, expressing the landscape of the Val di Fassa on the plate, and the cooking balances respect for local tradition with contemporary technique. The restaurant operates seasonally for the winter ski season and the summer hiking period, closing during the spring and autumn shoulder months, and reservations are essential given its limited seating and reputation, particularly during the Christmas and February ski weeks. The wine list draws on Trentino and Alto Adige labels, with the native Teroldego, Nosiola, and Trentodoc sparkling wines among the regional selections, and knowledgeable guidance on pairings. Expect to spend roughly €80–€130 per person for the tasting experience before wine. The Val di Fassa offers some of the most spectacular scenery in the Dolomites, with the Catinaccio (Rosengarten) and Marmolada nearby, making Moena a fine base, and Malga Panna is among its standout dining experiences. The restaurant suits travellers who want refined, locally rooted Alpine cuisine with a Dolomite view, in one of the finest dining rooms of the Trentino mountains.
