Fantastic place and superb experience. Highly recommended family owned dining establishment…read more Everything worked out perfectly: food, mostly served family style for our group, friendly and knowledgeable service ( special thanks to Antonio!), ambience, atmosphere. Well, it was very hot evening, but this is certainly not anyone's fault... Wines were also great, nice variety and off the beaten path selections. Meat dishes, especially beef, are amazing! Sitting in lush garden with family and our local friends enjoying the awesome meal, wine, and conversation: priceless, should I say more?! Come and check it out for yourself, and you are unlikely to be disappointed!

Best Homemade Pasta Ever. We had to wait for a bit because we had no reservation. A glass of…read moreRipasso on the house made that an easy and worthwhile wait. We had the steak tartar (in a way I had never tasted it with sea urchin and bone marrow instead of the usual mustard and mayo). Delicious. This was followed by Beef Tagliatini (yes a pasta from beef, how creative) with truffle shavings and Grana Padano. Out of this world. We closed it out with a combo of three home made pastas - each one a delight by itself. A bottle of Ripasso ... and all for a very reasonable price. You can't go wrong.

It is a rather small restaurant that really doesn't stand out at first sight. But OMG they are good! Located on a quiet town square, it offers a limited but very particular choice of menu. Its strength being typical seafood from the Garza lake itself, it also offers a good selection of meats. We had a full Italian style meal (antipasto, primo, secondo and dolce) and all of them tasted just great. Service was also friendly and very accommodating with our little kids (despite the place being quite tiny and busy with other customers). Highly recommend to anybody stopping by in this lovely little town!!!

The host was nice, the food was good and seemed to be fresh and made in-house (pasta that is). I expected a little more taste out of the cuttle fish dish (primi), but hey the secondi was really great.

Fantastic food. Great atmosphere…read more Pros: Not the same boring tourist menu you get everywhere. Seems like they are trying new things with local in season ingredients. Food was great! Wine was great. Tiramisu had a peach twist I enjoyed after a week in Italy (yes, I get tiramisu every night...). Service was friendly. Beautiful garden! Cons: tough to get a table if you walk up from the street. They told us they were down a server... But still was hard to excuse how slow everything was for the price (why I took off a star). We waited about 20 minutes for a glass of wine... Tough to get anyone attention after we ordered the food.

We came for a late lunch, at 3pm or so. While other restaurants were closed for the afternoon, we…read morewere greeted very friendly and got an outside table in the center of beautiful Lazise. We had Caprese, Tris de Tartar of three different kinds of fish, and Tagliatelle al tartufo. All ingredients were fresh and prepared very tasty, and though my Italian is very poor, the friendly waiter did his best to communicate with a mix of German, English and of course Italian. Apart from that, the place looked very well maintained; obviously they spend a lot on furniture, dishes and utensils, what you cannot find everywhere. Unfortunately, during our stay at Lake Garda, there was no chance to return, however, I look for an opportunity to go back to Lazise at least for one night and a dinner at Vecchia Dogana.

Stellar food, and staff to match! The place is slightly off…read morethe lake - as in it's about 3-4 buildings from it. If you can handle that (and mind you, you can see the lake if you're sitting outside ) it is *so* worth it coming here - the food is just that good! The pasta is spot-on, with impeccable ingredients, cooked just right. The seafood is sparkling fresh, and mmmm so good And yes, there is an excellent selection of (local) wines - both by the bottle, and by the glass. On that note, the staff is excellent, friendly, helpful, willing to chat if you so desire, and leave you alone if *that's* what you desire. The bottom line - if you're in the 'hood, you should definitely go here!!!

We didn't have a reservation, but luckily the staff kindly allowed us to squeeze in for a course before the busy Italian dinner hour around 7:30. We really appreciated the gesture and their hospitality. With so many restaurants to choose from, it can be hard to find a place that feels genuinely local while also delivering great quality. We ordered the bigoli pasta and the beef cheeks, and both were phenomenal. Everything was delicious, and we were so happy we managed to squeeze in. Definitely worth seeking out--especially if you're looking for a quieter, authentic spot away from the crowds! No pictures of our food because we ate them so quickly! But trust me, they are amazing!

There was an oyster on top-sadly it had a piece of shell inside. There was a great selection of seafood, but the calamari and octopus were overcooked and rubbery. Lastly the mussels and clams-not cleaned properly and quite gritty. Poor service too-we were mostly just ignored and when asked how the food was, we were clear about the many issues, but the waiters either didn't understand or didn't care. Not a cheap place and not worth bothering with. Avoid.
