Locanda Margon, Trento

​After touring the winery and tasting in Ferrari winery I came to this elegant restaurant, two Michelin stars, and I was feeling a light head for the bubbles I had just drank!
It is not very far from the Ferrari wineries, about 10 minutes by car; you climb along a road on the hill and you reach a cottage immersed in the vineyards.

​Once inside, before entering directly into the dining room, the guest is welcomed by a couple of elegant lounges to sit before or after the gourmet experience to relax and enjoy the day or the evening.

​The courses begin to arrive and among the entrée certainly surprising the mozzarella in a carriage flanked by a cannoli of flax seed, pasta cheese, raspberry, olives and watercress.

​I could not miss to taste the risotto of Chef Alfio Ghezzi: crested with Trentingrana, apples and thyme, an elegance and a refinement unique in the curl of pink petals intense and decisive and incredibly character to the palate. A worthy homage to the land of Trentino.

​The other first dish in the à la carte menu is the ‘Unusual Trentino’: spaghetti Felicetti, Trentingrana, Exgtravergine Garda Trentino DOP oil and Ferrari Perlè Trentodoc.

If you are a chicken lover you can not miss the Locanda Margon free-range chicken and you will have a pleasant surprise: the Chef himself arrives in the room to directly cut the chicken for you!

Before reaching the dessert, two other elegant, surprising and delicious dishes: a beet rose and a riot of porcini mushrooms, the magic of the mountains.

​And on the end with the dessert are served real jewels... Golden Nuggets to enjoy to conclude a memorable experience, definitely one of my favorite restaurants of 2018.
