All the pizzas were good and tasted nice, the only flaw would be that some of them were a bit burned on the crust. we loved the Aperol spritz, the tiramisùs were delicious, the taste was good and the savoyard weren’t too dry, which made the taste of the whole tiramisu authentic."

Aug 10, 2026"Love it. This is my favourite restaurant. The staff is super helpful. For example, my mom dropped a fork, and they immediately replaced it with a clean one. There is a great view of the lake, and the food is amazing. I recommend the gnocci with truffle and scallops. It's my favourite dish. Their crema catalana is also lovely. They have great bathroom facilities, like a large toilet with a changing station and a private sink, a separate public sink, and a second toilet. It's also really clean and well maintained. They have lamps for each table when you're there after sundown and can also provide booster seats if you need any. 10/10 I recommend."

The staff was very friendly when taking our orders and were able to communicate with us in English. We even got a free Gingerino before we got our food which was very nice from the staff. We order different pizzas and a calzone. The calzone was huge and very tasty as well as the different types of pizzas we ordered. The Pizza sizes were also very large and contained a nice ratio of tomato sauce to cheese as well as toppings. The Tiramisu was also delicious as it was not too sweet and contained a perfect amount of coffee. Even after dessert, we received a “Sorbetto al Limone” on the house which definitely made our visit very special. We would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone that is around Lake Garda!!"
