You can
eat
well in Trento and the surrounding area, feasting on unfussy local specialities. Gourmands will appreciate the special L85,000/a?¬43.90 six-course and L55,000/a?¬28.41 four-course menus at
Osteria a le due Spade
on Via Dom Archangelo Rizzi 11 (west of the duomo off Via G. Verdi; closed Mon lunch & all day Sun), with sophisticated dishes to savour in a low-ceilinged, wood-panelled room. For about the same price, try the restaurant attached to the
Albergo Accademia
at Vicolo Collico 6, off Piazza Sta. Maria Maggiore (tel 0461.981.580; no closing day), which serves marvellous local specialities. Otherwise try the slightly less pricey
Chiesa
, on Via San Marco (closed Sun), with fish a speciality. If you're feeling more budget-concious,
Due Giganti
, at Via Simonino 14 (closed Sun), is a good-value self-service place, offering simple fixed-price menus or pasta dishes from L6000/a?¬3.10. There are also a couple of good
rosticcerie
on Via Santa Croce, near the market, plus the lively
Pedavena
at Via Santa Croce 15 (closed Tues), which stays open until midnight and serves excellent, cheap Trentese dishes such as
canederli
and
strangolapreti
(spinach gnocchi).
Primavera
, at via Suffragio 92, is popular for inexpensive Italian standards and has outside seating under the arches.
One of the best ways to sample regional cooking is to follow your nose along the wine road , but there are also more formal places to try local delicacies. South of town, try Marlene , in localitA Margone di Ravina (tel 0461.349.148; closed Thurs & all June).
Trento doesn't resound with
nightlife
, but there are a couple of good bars that stay open late.
Pub Stube
, at Via del Suffragio 51 (closed Sun), is the centre of the German-speaking scene, while inevitably, students head for one of the two Irish pubs,
Murphy's
, on Piazza Duomo, or the
Irish Pub
on Via G. Verdi. Other useful information
