The story
In the heart of Trento, Il Sommelier brings together elegance and taste in a setting that is both curated and relaxed. The restaurant describes itself as a place where tradition and creativity meet with balance, offering dishes that surprise with harmony and intensity. Chef-driven proposals highlight carefully selected raw ingredients, resulting in plates with clean flavors and unexpected pairings.
The menu leans heavily on seafood, featuring raw and cooked preparations that showcase the best of the Mediterranean and beyond. Classics include monkfish on Piennolo tomato cream, white sturgeon marinated with beetroot and a light smoke, and a carpaccio of red Mazara prawns. A selection of raw fish and shellfish—from Mazara and Gallipoli prawns to scampi, bluefin tuna, amberjack, and Ora King salmon from New Zealand—is presented as a Plateau Royal. Meat lovers are not forgotten, with options like Japanese Wagyu carpaccio and a selection of beef from Chianina, Fassona Piemontese, and Iberian pork.
The wine cellar is a point of pride. With a focus on both iconic labels and less conventional discoveries, the list is designed to complement the cuisine. A special dedication to Champagne means a wide choice of bubbles, from Grandes Marques to niche producers.
Il Sommelier has earned a Michelin Recommended distinction, a recognition that aligns with its commitment to quality and detail. The restaurant is located in Trento’s historic center, on Via Santa Trinità, near the elegant Palazzo Roccabruna. With air conditioning, outdoor seating, and wheelchair access, it is a welcoming space for lunch or dinner.
