Welcome
La Passion opened its doors in 2003. The cozy gourmet restaurant of the Kerschbaumer family is located in Vandoies di Sopra at the beginning of Val Pusteria, surrounded by the beautiful South Tyrolean landscapes. The hosts Wolfgang and Helena Kerschbaumer, who run it with passion and dedication, warmly welcome their guests.
Ring the doorbell, come in, and let the amazement begin. The setting of the gourmet restaurant is a traditional farmhouse stube from the 16th Century which only fits five tables. Precisely for this reason we recommend you to book in advance, as La Passion is no longer a secret tip for locals. With great pleasure, we can welcome you also in small groups of up to 30 people to celebrate together.
The stube directly overlooks the small garden, which on hot summer days is the perfect location for an aperitif or even to enjoy a delicious selection of our menu in the open air.
TO THE MENUTABLE RESERVATION
Wolfgang Kerschbaumer is a complete chef
If, initially, you think you can frame him as an appetizer specialist, he will surprise you right afterwards with a fish dish. But don’t relegate him to the sea, because he’ll deny it in no time with the best quality meat.
As the son of a baker, Wolfgang Kerschbaumer’s passion for cooking was ignited when he was a child. After his training and various experiences in gourmet and starred restaurants, he and his wife decided to go their own way. And this dream came true in the dining halls of the “Ansitz zum Steinbock” in Villandro, where he managed the restaurant for 13 years attracting the attention of the South Tyrolean public and beyond.
Guests never pass by Wolfgang’s kitchen without stopping for a short chat. But only for a short time, because he prepares every dish on the spot. In his small 5-square-meters kitchen he is the house master and manages every aspect on his own.
Behind the Scenes
The restaurant’s name holds true for the enthusiasm in the kitchen and in the dining room. A friendly smile and charm: the human relationship is at the center in a familiar and cozy atmosphere.
The dishes are served in a setting you wouldn’t expect. Not only because of its size, but also because the small world of the Kerschbaumers, at first glance, just doesn’t look like a restaurant. As a matter of fact, La Passion is located right inside a housing estate. You will naturally have the feeling of visiting friends.
This is exactly how you will be welcomed by Helena Kerschbaumer, Wolfgang’s wife: in a warm, open and caring way. She competently looks after the well-being of her guests, while Wolfgang is in charge of the kitchen.
