ristorazione — Mayrhofen · Tirolo
In the Tyrolean valley of Mayrhofen, more than a thousand kilometres from the Belpaese (Italy), Michele has built a corner of Italy that does not imitate: authentic cooking, a specialty shop, and a fidelity to Italian gastronomic tradition that the Austrian mountains have not dimmed.
On the Hauptstraße (main street) of Mayrhofen, where the Alps of the Zillertal close the valley into a frame of rock and fir, a sign in Italian marks an unexpected threshold. Pane e Vino da Michele is an outpost of Italian gastronomy on Tyrolean soil: restaurant and shop together, a double breath under the same roof.
The dining room welcomes with the familiarity of a place that knows its guests: valley residents and passing travellers meet here for a meal that makes no compromise with the distance from Italy. The atmosphere is warm, the pace that of an authentic Italian table, far from any hurry.
From the kitchen come homemade pasta, fish dishes and wines chosen from every region of Italy: a repertoire that Michele builds on carefully selected ingredients. The shop stands alongside the restaurant with cured meats, cheeses, spirits, olives and extra virgin olive oil — the products that complete the story and can be taken home.
A restaurant, a shop, a single Italian address in the heart of the Tyrolean Alps. The page tells the whole story.
