Sara Bertocchi - Chefs-owners

In the heart of the picturesque village of Varena, in Trentino-Alto Adige, at the foot of the majestic Corno Nero, the Frosch restaurant offers a breathtaking view of the Lagorai mountain range and the historic medieval church of Saints Peter and Paul. Between the porphyry fountains and the charming village lights, every evening at Frosch is an experience that evokes the magic of a cool summer night. The restaurant is the result of a meticulous renovation that has preserved the essence of the old materials, wood and stone, while adding a touch of modernity. This combination of elements creates an ambiance that combines the warmth of home with a timeless atmosphere, enveloping customers in a unique sensory experience. Sara Bertocchi grew up in the family business, which produced rare pigments for artists. Her passion for cooking, which she considers a form of art, led her to revolutionize her life in 2010, when she met Massimiliano Aresi, a student of Gualtiero Marchesi. He taught her the importance of ingredient research, harmony of flavors and the balance between tradition and innovation. In 2019, she opened the restaurant Frosch, where she expresses her culinary elegance and finesse through dishes that reflect seasonality and sustainability. The cuisine at Frosch is a journey between simplicity and surprise, tradition and innovation. Sara uses local and seasonal products accompanied by elements from her travels. Each dish is a tribute to the cycle of the seasons and to sustainability: vegetables, medicinal plants from the organic garden and ingredients harvested in the woods and meadows of the region are the protagonists. The wine cellar offers a sensory journey through the best and most famous wines and those of small local producers. Sala Botte, opening in 2022, is an intimate venue for private tastings. The spirits list includes over 400 whiskies, rums, calvados, cognacs, armagnacs, gins and grappas. Enjoy the unique experience of a gin tasting, with nearly 200 gins on offer for unusual pairings and unforgettable sensory journeys. Frosch's mixology offer brings a combination of modern, contemporary and international flavors to the guests' table, perfectly integrated with the cuisine.
