Malga Panna
The Cut· research-verified, not yet visited
Paolo Donei's one-Michelin-star restaurant. Inside a 19th-century malga (alpine dairy) at 1,400 metres above Moena, with dining-room views over Val di Fassa.
The Donei family's century-old farmstead has been a restaurant since the 1950s; Paolo Donei is chef and owner. The original wood-and-stone walls remain, with a new glass-walled dining room cantilevered out toward the valley. Donei's cooking is the Trentino tradition rewritten: wild herbs from the surrounding pastures, smoked and brined meats made in-house, mushrooms, game, mountain cheeses, all on plates that look more like Tokyo than Tyrol. Standard tasting menus run €70 to €140, and on a handful of exclusive event dates each summer, Donei runs 'Il pane e il cuore,' a six-course menu at €20, a deliberate provocation against fine-dining inflation. Closed Mondays and Tuesday lunch. From Selva or Corvara, the drive is 45 minutes; from Cortina, 1h45.
