The story
In the small locality of Sirmiano Sopra, near Nals, just outside Bolzano, Apollonia has been a fixture of Alto Adige hospitality for over six decades. The Geiser family runs this welcoming gasthaus with a clear philosophy: good food can be extraordinarily simple. Authentic, rooted in nature, and deeply delicious.
The kitchen respects traditional recipes while adding a subtle touch of modernity. Ingredients come from local fields and nearby farms, selected for freshness and seasonality. The menu changes with the rhythm of the land, favoring what is ripe and ready. Craftsmanship, regionality, and collaboration are the pillars of every dish.
Surrounded by meadows, woods, and the Dolomites, Apollonia offers an informal atmosphere where guests, staff, and producers share genuine conviviality. No formalities, just a passion for authentic South Tyrolean cooking. The dining room and outdoor seating look out on an uninterrupted panorama of mountains, making every meal a moment of quiet pleasure.
This dedication to honest, seasonal cuisine earned Apollonia a Michelin Bib Gourmand, awarded for good quality, good value cooking. The restaurant is also a proud member of the "Locanda Sudtirolese" group, which champions the region's culinary culture. Whether you come for lunch or dinner, the warmth of the Geiser family and the clarity of their cooking make this a place worth seeking out.
