Cuisine of Bolzano and of South Tyrol

Bolzano's cuisine is a true delight for food lovers. It offers a diverse range of flavors, blending traditional and Mediterranean influences. On one hand, there is hearty, traditional country cooking, and on the other, you’ll find specialties from the Mediterranean culinary tradition. These often include spaghetti (Italian pasta) and Knödel (bread dumplings), ossobuco (marrow-bone) and Gröstl (beef cooked with potatoes and onions in a skillet).

While South Tyrolean cuisine has German origins in both preparation and flavor combinations, it also incorporates many influences from Italy’s rich culinary tradition.
