    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.

    Dear Victor, thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the food and wine, and we are truly proud to have made you feel part of our family. We hope to see you again soon to repeat the evening 😊

    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.

    D'Annunzio Osteria Bistrot

    Dear Stuart, we are delighted that your wife's birthday celebration was a success. We strive to distinguish ourselves from tourist establishments by offering unique dishes and ingredients, and we are pleased that this is being recognised. We hope to see you again soon at our restaurant! 😊

    The Food don’t tast off any thing

    D'Annunzio Osteria Bistrot

    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.

    So nice service, but haven’t the wine i wantet just like last visit here, and made my choice a more expensive bottle like last time☺️ i think thats a good way to make peaple choose a livel up i wine. Food was good and tastefull, our 2 visit there.

    D'Annunzio Osteria Bistrot

    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.

    D'Annunzio Osteria Bistrot

    Dear Tom, we can't understand the review score if, from the way you wrote, you ate well.

    The super friendly staff that helped out and arranged flowers for my wife on her birthday! Great variance on the menu and the quality of the food was also very nice, overall a great experience would recommend everyone to visit this nice place.

    D'Annunzio Osteria Bistrot

    Dear Björn , thank you so much for this beautiful review. We are happy to hear that the food was to your liking! As for the surprise for your wife, it was a pleasure for us to arrange a bouquet of flowers for her and we are happy to hear that this gesture was appreciated. We hope to see you again soon. Until next time!

    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.

    D'Annunzio Osteria Bistrot

    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.

    Dear Jeff, thank you very much for this beautiful review! We are so happy to hear that your experience was great, authentic and not turisty. We hope to see you again soon! 😊

    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.

    D'Annunzio Osteria Bistrot

    Dear Mark, Thank you very much for the beautiful review you wrote. We are very happy to hear that your experience in our restaurant was one of the best you have had. We hope to see you again soon and repeat the experience. Thank you again 🤩

    Beautiful little restaurant, the host Alessandro was very attentive and helpful regarding wine choices and food etc. we had scallops and bruschetta for starters followed by fillet steaks in green pepper sauce which were cooked perfectly. Most expensive meal from our holiday however it was for a special birthday and the food was excellent so worth it. Would def recommend and return

    my wife and I were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary … our waiter looked after us exceptionally well, making the evening fun and very, very enjoyable. All of the food was prepared and presented to a high standard. We enjoyed limoncello and a brandy drop from a very large bottle after the meal. if you were planning a visit I recommend you book in advance !

    Reservation was correct and restaurant expecting us. Drinks and food were ordered and the drinks arrived promptly. We changed tables to move inside. The starter arrived and tasted delicious - the waitress explained how to eat the ndujya sauce. The main course was very delayed. The food tasted ok, but the sauces were nothing special. The maitre d’ apologised for our delayed meal, explained what had gone wrong with the table transfer and offered us a grappe and chocolate as apology. Both were delicious.

    D'Annunzio Osteria Bistrot

    We are sorry to see that despite eating well, the review score is negative. The delay was our mistake due to the table change, we apologised and tried to rectify our mistake. However, it is not possible to leave a 6/10 on the cuisine if the food was to your liking as you wrote!

    Good food, but had to remind twice to bring our water, didn't offer desserts or coffees, had to get up and ask twice for our bill, no complimentary limoncello despite seeing it be offered to other tables and us spending >€200 euros between four of us. Unfortunately won't return. .

    D'Annunzio Osteria Bistrot

    We are happy that the food did not disappoint. As for the service, it may not be excellent on certain days. It is not our custom to offer desserts or coffee. We usually offer limoncello and this time there was probably an oversight on our part.

    So disappointing after the good reviews. We had scallops as starter. They were tiny and smothered in a crumb mixture. Mixed fried fish was dry and very average. Not worth the money. The staff were lovely but that's no use without good food

    D'Annunzio Osteria Bistrot

    Cara Mary il fritto misto è il più caro che abbiamo i fornitori della zona !!!! Arricchito con gamberoni gamberetti e una piccola capesante la sfido a trovarne uno più buono nella zona e le rimborso 100 euro subito! Poi che può piacere o no questo è sicuro! Ma sulla qualità da noi non si discute!!!!

    This restaurant is right in the heart of town so very easy to find and get to . The staff are warm and friendly and made our visit feel that much more special. The menu is tricky in that it is so varied and needs almost a bottle of wine to make your choices. When the food arrives it is heavenly . This restaurant epitomises the delights of Italian cooking. It is not cheap but neither is it expensive. I can't recommend this restaurant enough, it has stiff competition from many other fine restaurants in Bardolino.

    Decent quality food, fair value for money with the 20% discount. Really good cocktails made with care and attention and seemed to be suitably boozy. Excellent service, friendly, welcoming and attentive.

    A really lovely Bistro in the centre of Bardolino. The staff where very friendly and our waiter explained the dishes on offer with a graphic colourful menu which was helpful to see the dishes on offer. With his help we chose a very nice local Bardolino wine to compliment the dishes. I started with Melon and Prosciutto and then had the Tortellini. The portions of food where very generous and I really enjoyed my meal taking it easy over 1.5 hours. It’s very relaxing to sit and watch the world go by and enjoy a fabulous meal. I will be back to sample more food from this gem of a restaurant.
