Sophisticated yet sincere. Refined but always grounded. Full of passion and love. For everything that truly counts – nature, community, a sense of home. And then there’s this unshakeable belief that good things grow when shared with generosity. Tina Marcelli’s cuisine is a reflection of who she is. In JOHANNS, time-honoured traditions blend with a delicious sense of what’s to come. Long-lost recipes are reimagined and with every dish served by Tina and her team, one thing is clear: this is real cooking. Never a performance.
Philosophy. The soul of South Tyrol tastes like the memory of good, new times.
An honest soul with a thick skin.
Sustainability. Regional produce. Seasonal cooking. Elsewhere, these may have become hollow buzzwords – but not here at JOHANNS. For us, they are the unwavering foundation of everything we do. After all, what is Tina Marcelli without her team? And what is the team without the neighbour’s farm? And where would that farmer be without people like Tina, who understand this simple truth: everything is part of one closed, living cycle. As a true daughter of the valley, Tina is blessed with grounded roots and a lifelong bond with her native soil. She’s what we’d call ‘an honest soul’ – and in fine dining, that often calls for a very thick skin. You’re welcome to debate taste at JOHANNS. But these three cornerstones of our kitchen? They’re set in stone.
Love.
The way to the heart is through the stomach – as it always has. Tina Marcelli’s greatest inspiration? Her grandmother. That alone speaks volumes. Every dish that leaves our kitchen tells a story – one of family, rooted in universal memories of comfort, warmth and home. At JOHANNS, we cook with devotion, with passion, and above all, with love. Every single time.
Togetherness.
Success isn’t everything – but it does say a lot. Tina Marcelli and her team have already earned numerous accolades at their previous kitchens. Among them: 4 Gault&Millau toques and 3 Falstaff forks. At JOHANNS, a star is within reach. But one fundamental value comes first: genuine commitment to our craft. Because in this kitchen, the team is family. And the same goes for our farmers and producers. And you, dear guest, are no exception. Life in the valley is close-knit – that’s why togetherness means everything.
Responsibility:
For the land and its people. For the soil beneath our feet. For yesterday and for tomorrow. Because one cannot exist without the other, at JOHANNS we uphold everything that is close to our hearts. This includes our culinary heritage, the well-being of nature and a thriving valley community.
