historical

& vibrant

Carters and wood traders, carpenters, and shoemakers worked and lived in the house at Dr.-Streitergasse n° 31 in the center of Bolzano. For centuries, the building has overflowed with life and variety. Johann Mayr bought the building in 1921: since then, it has been in the family's possession and continues to grow, not in size, but in life. Since 2015, the building has been filled with warm hospitality and travelers can find the relaxation they are seeking in the cozy apartments. In 2021, the family also took over the restaurant, Bogen bistro & apartments comes into being.

Amazing Melanzane di Parmigiano!! We had the loviest server and an excellent cooked melanzane. Definitely a recommendation. They have a nice varied menu with many different options. Something for everyone's taste. Also an extensive beer and cocktail menu.O W
A lovely bistro in the centre of Bolzan (Bolzano). Probably one of the best gnocchi I've ever had in my life. The food is not bold, but it is well executed, giving you a welcome feel of comfort food. Great selection of cocktails which will please even those who know a thing or two about cocktails and not just a tourist pleasers, and the wine selection is quite satisfactory with a good offer of local wines. All in all, it was a very scrumptious and pleasant lunch. Will definitely come for another visit if the road takes me to these parts of the world again.Sanja Rađenović
One of the best meals I’ve ever had! The gnocchi was absolutely incredible. Fun cocktails and a good selection of other drinks. Beautiful restaurant. The staff all speak Italian, German, and English and are very helpful and attentive. There are also apartments you can rent above the restaurant (like Airbnb) that are wonderful if you are looking for a place to stay!Samantha
