Siegi's - CALDARO SULLA STRADA DEL VINO

We wanted to have dinner last night. We entered in the place and asked for that. A very rude waiter (I think it was the manager of the place) said NO NO! yelling. No more explanations, no more words, and there was space inside. We were on shock! So... the experience was awful. I didn’t wanna publish this but I am practically forced to do it. If you have a business you have to be kind and nice with your possible clients (at least).

Siegi's is an amazing restaurant in Caldaro it serves excellent south tyrolean food (and not only), accompanied by great wine and beer. The whole restaurant is run by father and son, which gives the restaurant, together with the location, a very cozy touch. Every time I return to Caldaro, I will go and have dinner there. An absolute must for food lovers!

I stumbled upon Siegi's by chance while exploring the South Tirol wine region on a sunny autumn day. Siegi's is an extremely small restaurant, having four tables in the dining room and two tables in the bar area and five stools at the bar. The restaurant is cozily decorated for informal dining and it is more like being in someone's nice home rather than a restaurant. Tables have paper placemats, paper napkins, everyday utensils plus a great steak knife. Three types of regional artisan breads were served in a paper bag. Siegi speaks limited English though he was helpful in explaining items on his menu. The menu is written in German on a chalkboard and there were two or three types of antipasto dishes to choose from, two soups, two pasta dishes and four or five entrees and one dessert. I started my meal with an assortment of five bruschetta's; each topped with a different topping and all very delicious. One was topped with strips of speck (cured smoked ham); another with marinated eggplant; another with sliced lard and an anchovy; another with fresh tomatoes and the last was topped with a Gorgonzola type cheese. I then enjoyed a large bowl of linguini tossed with small cubes of tender beef in a scrumptious tomato sauce. The portion was generous in size and I used some of the bread to mop up the remaining sauce. Prices were reasonable with the above meal, plus a glass of wine, a small bottle of water and a cafe totaled 25 Euros. I enjoyed my meal and the setting so much that I plugged Siegi's into my navigator as a saved favorite for the next time I'm the area. I highly recommend Siegi's to the TripAdvisor community.

The village meets at Siegi’s,I happened to pass by, was greeted very warmly, was even allowed to inflate the tires of my bike, and although all the tables were actually occupied for the evening and the kitchen was still closed, I was served kindly the food was really good!

We had 2 starters of artichoke salad and bruschetta that were nice. I enjoyed 400 gr entrecôte and my wife enjoyed very much the octopus with green peas pire. Fresh products and quality chunk of meat all done properly and creatively.with a lovely bottle of Pinot we have paid 110 Euro.
