Unfortunately our steak was really fatty and so a lot was wasted. Definitely not worth the 70 euros we paid.

We went to this restaurant 3 times on our 4 day stay as every time we changed to filters on trip advisor it came out 1 of 232 restaurants. We were not disappointed at any time. The host was also the master butcher who got the whole experience right including choosing the very best steak. We would highly recommend this place & will definitely be back on our travels.

Tonight we ate at the labrasserie15 restaurant, in Desenzano, the place is also called vivi cafe. Although there were few people and the design of the restaurant is not fancy enough, we had a great time. The service was very nice, personal and pleasant service. Especially GLAUCO who was very nice and did everything to make us happy. The meat is the most important thing and the main reason We came. I took a piece of Rib Eye of 1 kilogram (3 fingers) type BALTICO Holstein Scottona GRASS FED. A real challenge to prepare it and the chef went above and beyond and managed to grill it very well. The meat is aged well but not marbled enough. It tasted good and I enjoyed eating it. My wife ordered a burger with bacon and cheddar cheese. It was overdone, but nevertheless it was delicious. The chips are Very special and delicious. All in all, a very positive recommendation. Go eat there and enjoy. Thank you GLAUCO for a nice and tasty evening

We arrived at correct time and got the table after some struggling finding our reservation. After a short while the staff campe with some dry biscuits, bread and the menu. No smile, but okei anyway. We waited about 45 minutes to get the food, and my husbands dish was grilled mix platter with NO sauce. He asked for the sauce, but then they forgot it again. The food got cold. I ordered pizza, and it was fair enough. The whole experience was not worth 50 euros, I am so sorry to say. We had good expectations because of the reviret on TripAdvisor.

The place is nicely situated close to the harbor. Nice atmosphere! The waitresses were attentive and polite. We ordered the platter for starter and it was good, plenty of hams, salami, focaccia and cheese. Recommended! The meat looked good and we wanted to try the Wagye rib eye. At 18€ per 100g, the minimum order turned out to be 500g. It was a bit too much meat for us… we ended up ordering pasta which was too heavy and peppery and the salmon burger where the salmon was very dry. Our kids had the Carbonara which also had too much pepper and was too heavy. All in all; lovely place and nice staff, but the food was not what we had expected,

Really great food! Very good choice of meat. The waiter comes to the table and shows the yummy meat before/when you order. You can see the meat in the cooling / ripening cabinet! Steak was fantastic, side disehs as well. Uncredible choice of beer. Good and flexible service. We - 2 people - didn't like the first table and got - despite rush hour - a nice table for 4. I highly recommend!

Pushy waiter, trying to up scale wine and food, seen it before, and will not accept it. It felt like a fast food restaurant, not what I was hoping for.

Can tell they really love their meat from the passion in showing off the aged beef. Great service and our beef was done perfectly!

We had a couple of very tasty burgers, dessert & a lovely glass of wine each. The burger was well cooked, & handmade which ensured it was tasty. They clearly understand the value of quality beef - even in a burger.

The food and service was wonderful. Rare Steak perfectly cooked and tender. Mixed grill was tasty, although would prerer not to be on a hot skillet, to prevent it continuing to cook. Portion sizes are perfect, enough but not too much. Would definately recommend.
