Reviews Summary
Trattoria Al Boia Partanes is praised for its authentic Italian and Sicilian seafood, often described as fresh and delicious, with many highlighting specific pasta dishes like the salmon with pistachio cream. The cozy atmosphere and friendly, attentive service, including the owner's personal touch, contribute to a welcoming experience. However, some diners have found the quality of basic ingredients like olive oil and bread to be mediocre, and certain dishes have been described as lacking seasoning or presented without much flair, leading to a perception of inconsistent value for money.
"nice food, very fresh and authentic - you will not be disapointed. they have quite some tables on the square next to the curch and its nice to sit outside. but also insude its cosy. would go again."

"Wish I had the caponata we've ordered 😂 and all in all, this place is actually better than expected considering we are long way from the seafood, but still feels like ingredients are at best - fine. Olive oil and bread in particular should be much better in such place. But, the wine choices were decent and smart. Nothing extravagant but worked very well. There was way too much calamary in fried fish plate to my taste, but to be honest, it was fried perfectly"

"Really great food with a touch of Sicily! Can totally recommend the salmon pasta with pistachio cream, still dreaming about it😊
We went for starters and some pasta, accompanied with red wine which was all tasty.
Nice service and cozy atmosphere."

Geniet van culinaire hoogstandjes in Meran
Il ristorante Partanes, gestito dalla famiglia Burchia, si trova in posizione privilegiata in centro storico a Merano, proprio sulla Piazza del Duomo San Nicolò e alle porte dello storico Rione Steinach. La cucina offre i piatti della tradizione sudtirolese: molto apprezzati i menù a base di selvaggina, ma anche i piatti vegetariani e quelli adatti agli ospiti più piccoli. Particolarmente golosi i dessert di produzione artigianale.
