Lamb rib chops

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space alter_height=”medium” hide_on_mobile=””][vc_column_text]“The landscape of the Dolomites is so extraordinary that the traveler, not expecting
to be able to ask a state of grace on everything, would be satisfied with even the
most modest of foods. And so, when you enter St.Hubertus di Rosa Alpina in San
Cassiano in Badia, you are surprised to discover that the miracle has repeated itself
and that Norbert Niederkofler's cuisine perfectly meets the level of the heavenly
landscape.
Professional training brought Norbert first to Germany, then to Switzerland, the
USA, Austria and again to Germany, where he learned from Chefs Jörg Müller and
Eckart Witzigmann. Returning to Italy he went to Nadia Santini and then landed at
the Rosa Alpina in 1994 where, in 1996, he led the opening of the St. Hubertus
Restaurant.
Norbert says: “When I was 18 I had a big goal: I wanted to discover the world. And I
had a second one, which was more modest: I wanted to become a chef. With a lot of
discipline I was able to realise these two desires. I’ve had ups and downs. My
success is the result of clear ideas and goals, always putting myself in question and
remaining humble.””
