Porcino Restaurant

Michelin-Star Restaurant

A cuisine shaped by its surroundings.
Guided by the concept of “Dolomites to Sea”, it brings together alpine ingredients with selected influences from the sea – precise, reduced, and defined by a clear culinary identity. Awarded with a Michelin star within just a few years, Porcino represents an approach that does not rely on effect, but on substance and depth. Accompanied by a carefully curated wine selection, it creates an experience that is understated – yet lasting.

We look forward to welcoming you!

Please note that the Porcino Restaurant menu is subject to seasonal changes, following the availability of ingredients and the chef’s inspiration, in order to always ensure the highest quality and freshness of our dishes.

Restaurant Philosophy

At Ristorante Porcino, origin, craftsmanship and creativity merge into a clear culinary identity. The cuisine is guided by two central ideas: “Dolomites to Sea” and “Nose to Tail”.
Alpine ingredients meet selected influences from the sea, combined with a conscious and respectful approach to the product as a whole. The Dolomites themselves form the starting point. Wild herbs, mushrooms and alpine flavours are brought into dialogue with carefully sourced ingredients from around the world. Many elements are created in-house, driven by the intention not just to interpret flavour, but to shape it. Seasonality is not a concept, but a natural foundation.
This is a cuisine that does not aim for effect, but for depth. Sauces, textures and compositions are designed to express each ingredient in its full complexity. The result is an experience that goes beyond taste – a dialogue between nature, precision and expression.

The Origin of a Shared Vision

Behind Ristorante Porcino are Marco Verginer and Michaela Mair – connected by a story that began long before the restaurant itself. They have known each other since childhood and later reunited in the world of fine dining. While working together in a Michelin-starred restaurant, both their shared vision and their personal bond began to take shape. With Porcino, they have realised this vision: creating a place where cuisine and wine meet on equal terms and form a unified experience. Marco as chef and Michaela as sommelier and host define the spirit of the house, reflected in every detail. Within just a few years, the restaurant was awarded a Michelin star – a milestone that confirms their path, but does not define its limits. Because the story of Porcino is still being written. With every season, every menu and every new idea.

Design and view in balance

The restaurant reflects a calm expression of contemporary design, defined by clarity and restraint. Its colour palette is inspired by the tones of the Dolomites in autumn – warm, earthy and understated. Large panoramic windows open the space towards the surrounding landscape. In winter, the snow-covered mountains frame the view, creating a quiet and focused atmosphere. In summer, light and openness take centre stage as the Dolomites shift through the colours of the evening.
A space that steps back – allowing the landscape to become part of the experience.

Design and view in balance

Vegetarian options

In addition to our two traditional tasting menus, we also offer a five-course vegetarian tasting menu, designed to showcase plant-based cuisine with the same care, technique, and balance that define our culinary philosophy. Each dish is crafted to highlight seasonal ingredients, flavor contrasts, and textures, providing a complete and harmonious experience even for those choosing a fully vegetarian journey.

Michaela and the passion for wine

At Badia Hill, wine is an integral part of the gastronomic experience. Our sommelier and co-owner, Michaela Mair, guides guests in discovering the finest local and international wines, recommending the perfect pairing for every dish. Our wine cellar houses over 1,500 labels, including local and international wines as well as rare selections, historic bottles, and vintages. Thanks to direct collaborations with small producers, Michaela personally selects the best wines, always ensuring quality and authentic stories to share. At the heart of the experience is our Michelin-starred restaurant Porcino, where the chef’s dishes and Michaela’s wine selection come together, turning every meal into an unforgettable culinary and enological journey.

Dining on the terrace

We like very much have our dinner on the terrace and we would be able to do it every day. At 1315m above the sea level, the view is simply breathtaking but at sunset the temperature is not so warm and dining outside is not so enjoyable. We will do our best to let you dine on the terrace during the warm evenings from June till August. Please try not to be so disappointed if sometimes it would not be possible. You can enjoy a glass of wine under the stars ;) Anyway warm wollen blankets are waiting for you all year long.
