Restaurant in Ravina, Italy
Ferrari's dining room, built for tasting menus.

Locanda Margon holds a Michelin star and an OAD Top 200 European ranking, with three tasting menus built around Trentino ingredients and Ferrari sparkling wines. At €€€€, it is the strongest case for a special occasion dinner in the Trento area. Book four to six weeks out minimum; Tuesday and Wednesday are closed.
If you are weighing Locanda Margon against a Michelin-starred tasting menu in Verona or Bolzano, book Margon first. The Trentino Alto Adige region produces some of northern Italy's most compelling food-and-wine pairings, and Locanda Margon sits at the leading of that argument: one Michelin star, ranked #206 in Europe by Opinionated About Dining in 2025 (up from #188 in 2024), and a 4.8 on Google across 648 reviews. That trajectory matters. Venues climbing the OAD rankings year-on-year are typically getting better, not coasting. The €€€€ price tier puts it in the same bracket as Dal Pescatore in Runate and Le Calandre in Rubano, but the wine-integration angle here is more specific than either — and more useful if sparkling wine is part of why you are travelling to Trentino.
Locanda Margon is the fine-dining address attached to Ferrari, the house behind Trentino's most recognised sparkling wines. The restaurant sits above the Adige Valley with views over Trento, which makes it a viable destination in its own right for visitors to Ravina or the wider Trento area. Chef Edoardo Fumagalli runs three tasting menus: the Passione Bollicine menu is built explicitly around Ferrari spumante and is the most distinctive of the three; the Trentino menu centres local ingredients; and a third option takes a broader Italian creative approach. For a special occasion where the wine pairing is as important as the food, Passione Bollicine is the one to book. If your priority is showcasing the region's produce, the Trentino-focused menu delivers that more directly.
The venue also operates a Bistrot adjacent to the main dining room, which offers outdoor seating and a more informal menu of classic Italian dishes. The Bistrot is worth knowing about if you are travelling with guests who want a lighter format, or if you are returning and have already done the full tasting experience. It is not a substitute for the main room on a special occasion, but it extends the range of what the property can accommodate.
Locanda Margon is built for the kind of meal that needs to mean something: a milestone birthday, a significant business dinner, or a wine-focused celebration in a setting that earns the spend. The Ferrari connection gives the wine programme a coherence that most €€€€ Italian restaurants cannot match — you are not just choosing from a list, you are drinking the wines that define the region and the house, structured around a menu designed to show them at their leading.
For groups, the question is whether you are booking the main restaurant or the Bistrot. The main dining room is the right choice for a smaller party where the tasting menu format works , typically two to six people. For larger groups, the Bistrot's outdoor option opens up more flexibility. Seat count data is not available in our records, so contact the venue directly to confirm private dining capacity and whether the space can be configured for a group of eight or more. Given the demand level at a venue of this recognition, that conversation should happen as early as possible, particularly if you need a specific date.
Book at least four to six weeks out for the main dining room, longer if your target date falls on a Friday or Sunday evening. The restaurant closes Tuesday and Wednesday, which concentrates demand onto the remaining five days. Saturday service is dinner only (7:30 PM to 9:00 PM), with a slightly earlier close than other evenings, so factor that in if you are travelling far. Sunday and Thursday lunch slots (12:30 PM to 2:00 PM) can represent a lower-pressure booking window than Friday or Saturday dinner, though at this price tier you should not assume availability. If you are travelling from outside the Trento area specifically for this meal, confirm your reservation before booking accommodation or transport.

How Locanda Margon stacks up against the competition.
At €€€€, it earns its place. A Michelin star and consecutive OAD Top 200 Europe rankings (206th in 2025, 188th in 2024) reflect real consistency. The Passione Bollicine tasting menu, built around Ferrari sparkling wines produced on the same estate, is a pairing format you will not replicate elsewhere in Trentino. If you are weighing spend, this is stronger value than a comparable price point in Milan or Verona given the wine integration and views over the Adige Valley.
Yes, though tasting-menu formats work best for groups with shared appetite and a reasonable dinner pace. The adjoining Bistrot is the smarter call for mixed groups or anyone who wants à la carte flexibility rather than committing to a full menu. For a dedicated wine-focused private dinner, the main restaurant is the right choice — check the venue's official channels to confirm capacity and availability.
A Michelin-starred restaurant operating at €€€€ in northern Italy expects guests to dress accordingly. Think polished, not formal: neat trousers, a collared shirt or equivalent for men, and comparable effort for women. Trainers and shorts are very unlikely to be appropriate. If you are heading to the Bistrot instead, the dress expectation is noticeably more relaxed.
Yes — this is one of the clearest use cases for booking here. The setting above Trento with Adige Valley views, the estate-produced Ferrari sparkling wines running through the tasting menus, and the Michelin-starred format all point toward meals that are meant to mark something. A milestone birthday or significant anniversary fits well; the Passione Bollicine menu in particular gives the occasion a specific narrative around the wines.
A tasting menu at a Michelin-starred restaurant in northern Italy is a perfectly reasonable solo experience, and the format means the kitchen sets the pace. That said, the Passione Bollicine menu is wine-pairing focused — solo guests will get through the full pairing allocation alone, which is either appealing or excessive depending on your appetite. If solo dining feels weighty here, the Bistrot next door offers a more casual alternative.
There is no comparable fine-dining alternative in Ravina itself. In the broader Trentino Alto Adige region, Atelier Moessmer Norbert Niederkofler in Brunico is the reference point for Michelin-starred Alpine cuisine with a stricter local-sourcing philosophy. For sparkling-wine-focused dining comparable to the Passione Bollicine menu, nothing in the immediate region directly replicates the Ferrari estate connection.
Lunch gives you the Adige Valley views in daylight — a genuine advantage at this setting — and the kitchen runs the same tasting menu format as dinner. The Saturday service is dinner only (7:30–9 PM), so Friday or Sunday lunch is the best slot if daytime is your preference. Evening bookings on Fridays and Sundays fill fastest; book those further out.
