Italian cuisine
Mmm, what a wonderful smell! Pizza and pasta, olives and basil, tiramisu and cappuccino … The culinary offering of our hotel is dedicated entirely to bella Italia. If you opt for bed and breakfast, you’ll already enjoy Italian cuisine in the morning, and with half board you can indulge at night, too. At lunch time you can eat à la carte.
Kontrasto Restaurant "Grace and Elegance at the Table"
Born from the creativity of Chef Patrizio Lamanna and the foresight of the Landlords, Barbara and Dieter Frasnelli, Kontrasto is an absolute novelty for the city of Laives. His cuisine offers a unique culinary experience, blending the traditions of Puglia - Chef's home region - with the Alpine flavors of South Tyrol.
Patrizio with his dishes emphasizes seasonality and raw materials, creating a meeting between North and South, where ingredients are explored to exalt their authentic taste and distinctive aromas. The restaurant´s sustainable approach with its circular cuisine is reflected in preparation methods and choice of products, making each meal not only delicious, but also conscious.
Each dish tells a story and each flavor is intertwined with memories and emotions. The combination of taste, grace and elegance, not only in the food but also in the welcome and service, creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The taste of Italy: our half board
If you book with half board, in the evening you can choose between a freshly baked pizza (six days a week) or our multi-course selective menu with Mediterranean dishes. Of course, selected traditional South Tyrolean dishes are also always on the menu – nowhere else do sea and mountains merge in such a delicious way.
Lunch and snacks in our bistrot
At lunchtime, the Italian selectionis perfect for a quick meal. From April to November we serve it at our sky bar and bistro on the roof terrace, or at our restaurant in case of bad weather. Our tip: Up there – in the shade of Mediterranean plants – the aperitif simply tastes best.
