The friendly service and cozy atmosphere, especially the outdoor seating for people-watching, are frequently highlighted.

"This is a small local eatery that has very very limited seating. It is on a main street in Merano so can be a bit noisy with vehicle and people traffic. However, this is a place the locals go to eat. Genuine Italian street food with some good variety to choose from. We are glad we stopped to eat and did some people watching. Recommended for a nice lunch."

Mit spanischem Flair und südtiroler Herzlichkeit punktet La Bottega del Pincho’s in der Rennweg. Klein, aber fein, bietet die Bar eine bunte Auswahl an Pinchos und Tapas: knusprige Bruschette mit Pilzragout, Mini-Piadine mit gegrilltem Gemüse oder kross gebratenem Serranoschinken, dazu regionale Oliven und kräftige Käsesorten. Die hauseigene Spezialität „Hugo Pink“ – ein spritziger Cocktail mit Holundersirup – ist für viele Stammgäste ein Muss.
