"Great drink and food in a lovely location with friendly and polite waiters. The waiting staff were polite and attentive with a lovely smile and the food arrived shortly after ordering. We ordered the house wine which was perfectly nice to drink. The whole meal was reasonably priced for the area and the food was delicious. My only slight criticism was that my duck pasta was a bit too salty for my liking, and my husband agreed that they were maybe a bit heavy handed with the salt. However, the flavours and textures were great. Can highly recommend this place."

"This has to be the best restaurant in Melcesine. The setting is beautiful, the food is delicious but the service is outstanding. The servers are friendly and switch between the various customer languages without missing a beat, all while juggling orders. A word of advice though, be sure to reserve to avoid disappointment!"

"We had a great experience, at this lovely place after seeing the castle and all lake garda from above. The service was top and the waitress gave us more recommendations about things to do around, the tagliatelle bolognese was great and we especially loved the truffle tagliatelle goes amazing with glass of local white, we finished with trentino limoncello! Molto bene!"

"This is a beautiful place located up by the castello in Malcesine. The staff was very friendly and professional and the food was absolutely delicious. We had the salmon and tuna tartare starters and can also recommend the tagliatelle with fish ragout and the specialty of the house. But the highlight of our visit was the view from the terrace area on to the lake. A very romatic spot to enjoy your meal with some excellent wines as well! Would definitely visit again!"

"Has a rooftop terrace but we preferred to sit in the downstairs area next to the bar. Quieter but do have to deal with more cigarette smoke from people smoking right outside the restaurant. Food is fantastic!"

"The food here was fantastic. We both chose relatively simple pasta dishes for a May lunch, but they were flavorful, well-prepared, and exceeded our expectations. Beautifully presented, too. The setting on the terrace was stunning, surrounded by lush greenery with glimpses of Lake Garda in the background. Everything was great, although the staff did seem a little rushed. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting this beautiful area"

"Great food and service. Our experience was made unforgettable by our waiter Gabriel. Although he was clearly working a very busy shift, he took the time to help us with the menu and selecting the dishes that would be most pleasing to us personally. It made such a difference to our dinner, and we had a great evening here. Grazie Mille, Gabriel"
