The story

Maso Palù, Rovereto – Alpine Cuisine in Brentonico with a Michelin Bib Gourmand

Maso Palù: Tradition and Territory in the Heart of Trentino

Perched in the hills above Rovereto, on the slopes of Monte Baldo, Maso Palù is a restaurant that puts the local landscape on the plate. In Brentonico, the Amadori and Girardelli families run a welcoming spot dedicated to genuine Alpine cuisine, operating with a philosophy that looks to the past to bring it into a new era: “Rivisitare il nostro passato e portarlo in una 'nuova era' è la nostra filosofia.”

From the home page, the message is clear – a focus on unique territory, genuineness at km0, and “gusto per la tradizione.” That commitment to quality and value has earned Maso Palù a Michelin Bib Gourmand, recognizing good quality, good value cooking. The restaurant has been perfecting its craft since 1984, centering its offering around a monthly-changing tasting menu that follows the rhythms of the seasons.

It all begins with the “Benvenuto della Cucina,” followed by the antipasto del maso – a course that might include polenta with tartufo del Baldo (truffle from Monte Baldo), spontaneous herb bon bons, and a crispy puff pastry with marinated trout fillet from the Sorne stream and ricotta.
