"If I could rate the service 10 stars, I would - from the complimentary spritz when we entered, to the attentive staff, to the complimentary sorbetto at the end. White wine was served chilled, poured for us, with the remainder kept in ice. Food quality was very good. The flatbread-style pizza that was served as the pre-meal bread was a nice change of pace from the typical breadsticks other restaurants serve, and it was very well seasoned. Spaghetti was al dente, salad and seafood very fresh, tiramisu was the perfect texture. Really appreciated the dessert coffee selection - in our group of 3, we had espresso con grappa, con sambuca, and d’orzo."

"Absolutely fantastic place with very nice service. Complimentary spritz on the start. Complimentary ice-cream at the end. Warm flat-bread as a starter was super nice, well seasoned and it was the only place which served that throughout the whole week in Italy (other restaurants served usual bread). We've been in a group of 8, including two small kids. All of us left the place full and we paid 200EUR, including drinks. Which is usual, as all restaurant bills for us were between 200 and 220 EUR."

"Service is good. Food is tasty but presentation of food could be better, lasagna looked very sad, and arugula under the chicken wasn’t that fresh, looked like it was opened in the fridge for a several days. In general all was good"

"Phenomenal food & service. The pesto gnocchi was the best I’ve had, and the pizza was delicious too. You get focaccia on the house as well as a welcome aperitivo and limoncello as an on the house digestive after dinner. Great aperols too! Will definitely be back!"

"One of our favourite meals in Garda. We had a friendly waiter who helped with food recommendations. We ordered the salmon and broccoli pasta (delicious) and a pizza with spicy Italian meat/sausage. The portion sizes are generous and they also gave us complimentary garlic flat bread and a sweet lemon dessert as well. Everything tasted delicious and it was one of the few times I’ve walked out of an Italian restaurant very full. Would highly recommend this place."

"Highly recommended for savory dishes. Fair prices and very delicious pasta. You’ll get a welcome drink, pizza bread, mango ice and limoncello at the end for free. Definitely try the Gnocchi. However, avoid the desserts. They are frozen ones. Other than that a super place!"

"The Salmon and broccoli spaghetti was out of this world. A drink when we arrived, oven baked pizza bread, tangerine ice cream and limoncello all compliments of the restaurant. The prosecco was beautiful. I needed for nothing, excellent service, excellent food. Thank you"
