Like having dinner with family - we were greeted by nonno, and told a bit about the food. Everything is homemade right down to the delicious bread. We were not too hungry so both had pastas - carbonara and gricia. The portions looked small but they weren't. We tried very hard but neither of us could quite finish even though delicious. Paired with an inexpensive wine it was the perfect meal. We had no room for dessert but did enjoy the complimentary shot of limoncello and cookie that was presented with our check. Remember I said it was like family? The son said he had a surprise and took a "romantic picture" of the two of us, then later presented it to us in a small frame. Who does that?? Only the perfect restaurant. Highly recommend.

We visited for my wife's birthday and I would say this is more a 'special event' type of place. Higher end ingredients, and obviously prices, than most most other places in Bardolino. Expect great tasting food but slightly smaller portions. Service was excellent.

The restaurant has been open since 1993 and you can see why, the food, service and atmosphere are great and the wine list is extensive. We had a fabulous evening.

Gentile ospite, ognuno ha diritto alla propria opinione, ma non ai propri fatti. Antipasti e piatti principali non sono stati serviti insieme, e chi passava al tavolo a chiedere se andasse tutto bene ero io, il titolare, non un semplice cameriere. I piatti sono stati ritirati dopo che avevate finito, non “uno alla volta per fare pressione”: è attenzione, non tortura. Quanto al “cibo che non sapeva di niente”, quella sera abbiamo servito 150 clienti soddisfatti. Forse è mancato il sapore… alla recensione. Ci spiace non essere stati all’altezza delle sue aspettative. Per fortuna, la maggior parte dei nostri ospiti apprezza il nostro impegno quotidiano. Cordiali saluti, il cameriere che chiedeva se andasse tutto bene, non se aveste finito.

Gentile ospite, la ringraziamo per aver apprezzato il servizio e la qualità del cibo, e per essere tornato/a a trovarci! Ci dispiace sinceramente che non abbia trovato l’etichetta desiderata: succede molto raramente che manchino 1 o 2 vini, su oltre 90 referenze in carta. Abbiate pazienza, ma con oltre 30.000 euro di vini in cantina, non abbiamo certo bisogno di “convincere” i clienti a spendere di più. Abbiamo bottiglie da 16 a 500 euro, e il nostro unico obiettivo è consigliare – se possibile – un’alternativa che permetta di vivere un’esperienza diversa, ovviamente rispettando i gusti, i desideri e le possibilità di chi ci sceglie. Speriamo di rivederla presto… magari con la sua etichetta preferita già in fresco! Un caro saluto da tutto il team.

Steak ordered medium-rare was cooked through, burger patty day. Pasta was good, I guess we picked the wrong dishes.

Food was good but nothing special - I’ve had better. Pasta was generally disappointing relative to reviews (2 others in my party thought so) but Ravioli was tasty. Tiramisu was good. Nice selection of local wines at a reasonable price. Nice buzzing atmosphere.

Dear Sacha, we are sorry to read that all in all you have eaten well, but the rating is barely sufficient. We always ask all our customers if what they have ordered is to their liking several times during the service. Whatever problem the pasta might have had, if you had let us know, we would have prepared it again right away. We regret the inconvenience and look forward to seeing you again to try something new!

Great experience. Excellent food, service, friendly people, ambience, just everything about it. In a quaint little village right by the water. Really couldn't ask for a more authentic Italian dining experience that didn't seem super touristy.

This restaurant is less than a five minute walk from the Lakeside and it is the best five minutes we spent to find this absolute gem of a restaurant. Relaxed ambience, great staff and outstanding food, we enjoyed the mojito scallops, prepared at the table in their shells which were fantastic, followed by a great Sea Bass and Tuna Tatiki cooked to perfection. Desert it is always great ice cream in Italy. Highly recommended one of the best meals and evenings we have had - and we have had many! Well worth a visit.
