Also extremely popular with tons of people popping in for a meal. Menu is quite extensive and there is all sorts of seafood on offer. I had the crudo misto which was amazing raw seafood. My spaghetti vongole was also delicious. Loved my meal. The pizzas here are also very good. For a high volume restaurant the service is excellent and we sat out on the terrace with stunning views. Really great place for an excellent meal.

For a place rated and reviewed so highly we were quite surprised about the food. Service was slow. Think what this place has going for it is the location and quaintness. Def a instagram trap, but food wise the food cannot compare with what you have in the rest of the country.

He and his sous chefs Jacob and Michael are true professionals. Lucca was able to adapt to our kitchen without missing a beat. For the cooking class, he taught us how to prepare: fresh pesto, handmade pasta (tagliatelle), branzzino, calamari, bruschetta, mussels and clams, and a beautiful chocolate cake. For the private dinner, he prepared: smoked tuna, octopus salad, seared fish and tiramisu. We also ate at their restaurant which was homely and very local. The menu is not in English, a good sign! Highly recommend eating at their restaurant at the very least!

It wasn't very busy and everyone there was Italian. The waitress didn't speak English and there was no English menu. Our meal was delightful. My husband and I each had a pasta dish. Both were delicious, simple, homestyle italian cooking with very fresh ingredients. It was the perfect first lunch on our vacation. The atmosphere is so relaxing. There is an outdoor terrace with a partial view on the lake and no one else is around because it is not located in a touristy area. Prices were excellent. I wish we could have eaten there again before we left. I definitely recommend it for those who are looking for great authentic casual Italian food. Yum!!

I had the beef cheek with fried onions and potatoes cream, and it was so delicious! The ambience is casual and menus are available in English and Italian.

The restaurant is the only one set in a sleepy medieval town a short distance away from San Pellegrino Terme. The building itself is in the traditional medieval style and has few tables inside and some outside as well. There is a friendly neighborhood cat that wanders in to see if anyone will drop some food for him. As far as authentic and down to earth great food goes, this is absolutely ideal. If you are looking for the real deal Italian food, go here and experience something like you never have before. Don't expect five star service or anything fancy here, it's all about the food, and the tradition that they are proud to carry on.

The restaurant also has an extensive grappa selection which they bring over on a cart. We initially discovered this restaurant on our first trip to Gargnano and it was the perfect romantic dinner for two. The restaurant has a picturesque outdoor dining area overlooking the water (as well as lovely indoor space with floor to ceiling glass so one can appreciate the view in cooler weather). We're back for our second trip to the area and they were especially friendly to our young well-behaved daughter when we came back as repeat customers.
