SISSI: A RATHER UNUSUAL STORY
From our beginnings at Plankensteinstraße to the restaurant today
Restaurant Sissi tells the story of a passion: Andrea Fenoglio's passion for good food. The star chef was born in Mondovì in the province of Cuneo, has a Piemontese father and an Austrian mother. From the age of 8 months he grew up in Merano where, after his years of training, he ended up in the best restaurant of the city. In 1991, at the age of 23, he decided to open the Restaurant Sissi in a small Art Nouveau building in Plankenstein Street, which originally housed a grocery store and a tailor shop. In 1998 the restaurant moved to G. Galilei Street. The building where Fenoglio has learned the basics of good cooking is still the seat of the Sissi today. In 2009 the restaurant was awarded a Michelin star, a precious award that the Sissi continues to receive year after year.

Where can I park?
There is a paid car park in Via G. Galilei, just 50 metres from our restaurant. You can also park at the Terme Merano car park, which is about a 3-minutes walk from the restaurant.
Should I book a table?
You can book your table "HERE". If you visit our restaurant without a booking, we will, of course, do our best to find you a table.

Absolutely. Please let us know in advance, so we can find a table where there’s enough space for you and your 4-legged friend.
Do you have a children's menu?
There are always choices on our menu that are suitable for kids, otherwise we’ll be happy to prepare some simple spaghetti with tomato sauce.
Do you have an entrance for people with disabilities?
Unfortunately, our building was constructed many years ago, and there are 6-7 steps at the entrance. The bathroom is located on the second floor. Our staff will of course be happy to help you anytime. There are reserved parking spots for people with disabilities right in front of Sissi.
Do you offer gift vouchers?
Of course! We think vouchers are the perfect gift. You can order your voucher "HERE" or from Andrea Fenoglio and his team directly.

Absolutely. Contact us and we’ll organise the event tailor-made for you, at Sissi or in another location.

We had a great meal at Sissi. First of all, the dining room is lovely, with lots of space between tables. The service is excellent, friendly and attentive but not overbearing. The menu is creative and interesting, with a wonderful mix of ingredients and flavors. The preparation is excellent, with the result being an utterly enjoyable meal.
We went to Sissi, a family with 2 small children. The food was superb, every dish made with love. The service and atmosphere relaxed and friendly. Definitely a culinary experience to have in Merano.
