The story

Innesti: Modern Cuisine in Pergine Valsugana, Trento – Michelin Recommended 2026

A project rooted in Trentino

In the historic town of Pergine Valsugana, just east of Trento, Innesti is the embodiment of a simple philosophy: food culture and hospitality live together. The restaurant is the work of Elisa and Daniele, who built it from their shared desire to create memorable moments. Daniele is the chef; Elisa oversees the front of house and the sense of welcome that defines the place.

Innesti draws its name — meaning “grafts” — from the idea of connecting local traditions with new perspectives. The team grows fruits and vegetables in their own garden, and every dish respects the rhythms of the Alpine landscape.

Three tasting menus, three moods

Daniele’s cooking is rooted in seasonal ingredients and local produce, interpreted through modern cuisine that never strays far from its mountain origins. The menu is built around three tasting journeys:

• Gemme (€43) — three courses dedicated to Trentino’s seasonal bounty, using exclusively 0km products. It is an invitation to discover the region’s recipes and ingredients, just as they are.
• Radici (€70) — four courses that evoke childhood memories, reworking Alpine culinary traditions in a contemporary style. The flavors are familiar, the execution fresh.
• Innesti (€85) — seven courses at the heart of Daniele’s creativity, where local products meet techniques inspired by Eastern and international cuisines. This is where tradition meets the world.

Vegetarian and vegan options are available, and the kitchen treats allergies and intolerances with serious care.

Recognition and craft

Innesti’s dedication to honest, thoughtful cooking earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction in 2026. The award reflects not just the quality on the plate but the seamless hospitality that Elisa and Daniele have cultivated — a place where every detail, from the locally sourced wines to the warm yet precise service, reinforces the same message: food is a way to connect, to remember, and to share.
