We enjoyed a typical Italian meal (i.e. 2+ hours) during a long weekend in Brenzone sul Garda, one of many picturesque towns on the lake, just a few minutes up the road from Umberto's. We started with the Gran Frito Misto. Even though it was listed in the menu as a secondi, our waiter humored us and let us have it as an antipasti. The assortment of fried seafood and veggies was delish! I loved the calamari and shrimp. Even the sardines weren't bad! After that, we moved on to antipasti and secondi. My sister and I ordered the lasagne because it's a minimum 2 person dish. My hubby ordered the steak because... well... men like red meat? Y'all. I need to wax poetic about this lasagna for a minute. It was super creamy, bubbly and hot. Layers and layers of fresh noodles with a savory meat ragu sauce on top and prosciutto cotto and mushrooms sprinkled throughout. All served in a GIANT cauldron, easily enough for four people even though it was billed as a two person dish. The steak was good, too. And, we also enjoyed the sautéed potatoes. But seriously. Get. The. Lasagna. If you are still reading at this point (why aren't you on your way to Lake Garda for the lasagna?!), I suppose my last anecdote is that the house red wine was delicious.

One of the places recommended by our tour guide, it seemed relatively busy on a Thursday lunchtime,…read moreand seemed to have two of the local dishes we wanted to try -- the sardina essiccata and the local salumi. Our thought was to order a couple of drinks for our party of five, and both of those dishes as apps to share. It was only after we ordered the two apps that the waitress informed us we couldn't just share the food -- we each needed to order an entree as well. For some reason, we didn't just get up and leave, so we ended up having a lot more food (and paying a lot more money) than we had intended. Caveat emptor. That said, all the food we ordered (including those two dishes) was quite tasty, the (apologetic) waitress gave us friendly service (besides the house policy), and the view of the lake was pretty nice. (There were some adult tourists dining there who let their kids run around screaming and chasing each other and running across the street to feed the ducks and screaming some more, but that's not really the restaurant's fault.) Net-net -- a decent place to eat, but only if you know the house rules and are ready to eat a lot.
