We went on a whim because I saw it on a stroll through town and hoped it wasn't a tourist trap…read more definitely not a tourist trap! It's a very cosy small place with a great sense for tradition. You can sit out front to look at the lake or in the back on the street and engage in some quality people watching. The menu is very rich with anything from cheese plates to great traditional pasta dishes (my dad was in love with the carbonara). I found plenty of gluten free options on the menu and had beef filet with mashed potatoes. Sounds simple but tasted amazing! They also have a very good wine list and a very good house wine! If you want traditional Italian cuisine in the middle of the old town then you can't go wrong with this place.

The cheese was good, but safe, this cheese will not offend anyone, and the smell won't bother anyone. When traveling in Italy and being a somewhat cheese loving foodie, I had preferred something a bit more exiting. Pasta was okey and the gnocchi good. The service was amazingly slow during our lunch, the place was not busy so I find it annoying that I had to ask several times for my drink and the check. I would not plan another visit to this restaurant.

Now let's get to the food: my Pizza Capricciosa arrived a little later than my companions but from what I gathered it's because the pizzaio was working alone (said the waiter), it wasn't an issue for me since we arrived for dinner (around 7:30pm). The pizza was delish btw, left out the mozzarella and the prosciutto. Here aren't a lot of vegan options (actually not at all, except, gasp, the salad.) but that's understandable, we are at the lake, fresh fish must be their speciality. But I'm not choosy, this is italia, pizza is always a great option. Downed it with white wine too. Also not overpriced (around 4.50€?) Most of them priced okay, and not overpriced just cos we are at a touristic location so that was great. Surely their other dishes (fish/pasta/Meat) must be on the pricier side. Next time I'll probably go for their Paccheri Pasta without the cheese. The service is not bad, everyone spoke English amongst other languages they must speak there, their servers are from mixed races so everyone spoke english. The woman who was at the front assigning the tables though could be better, she must be sick of tourists asking random questions and so she was a little aloof, like she just wanna hurry everyone to their seats and not very open to answering questions about food. Overall: a great restaurant to have dinner at, relax and hang out with friends, or just chill with a glass of wine if you like to people-watch.
