Ravina, Italy
From Michelin Guide
This restaurant with views of Trento and the Adige valley is home to chef Edoardo Fumagalli, who puts all his energy and creativity into three tasting menus (one of which has been designed to combine perfectly with the Ferrari sparkling wine made by the winery that owns the restaurant). His menus showcase local ingredients (especially the Straordinario Trentinomenu), which he prepares with technical expertise, occasionally combining them with produce from further afield. Our inspector especially recommends the “Arlecchino” mountain egg with Trentingrana cream, bisque reduction with Chardonnay vinegar and puffed amaranth. Although the adjacent Bistrot is designed to be more informal in character, it offers the attraction of reliable Italian cuisine and the option of alfresco dining.

Three Distinct Menus with a Modern Twist on Tradition

This approach showcases creativity while maintaining a light, balanced flavor profile.
From Visitor Experiences
The most honored or signature ingredients at the Michelin-starred Locanda Margon in Ravina are:
Mountain egg (Uovo di montagna): Featured in the signature dish "Arlecchino," this delicate egg is baked in cocotte and paired with sautéed green asparagus, 24-month aged Trentingrana cream, and nutty buckwheat for texture. It highlights the alpine terroir and refined technique.
Trentingrana cheese: A key local cheese aged 24 months, used in the creamy accompaniment to the mountain egg and also presented as a crispy element. It represents the region’s dairy excellence and adds rich umami.
Green asparagus: Sautéed and served alongside the mountain egg and Trentingrana cream, it brings fresh, seasonal alpine flavors and a vegetal balance to the richness of the dish.
Buckwheat: Adds a rustic, nutty crunch to the mountain egg dish, emphasizing texture contrast and local grain traditions.
Wild salmon: Used in a main course paired with agretti (a tangy alpine green) and herb-infused yogurt sauce, showcasing the harmony between mountain and sea influences in the cuisine.
These ingredients are carefully selected to reflect the Trentino-Alto Adige region's bounty, combining local alpine produce with innovative culinary techniques under Chef Edoardo Fumagalli’s vision. The mountain egg with Trentingrana cream is especially emblematic of the restaurant’s identity and Michelin-starred acclaim.
