"Volevo condividere la mia esperienza di questo posto che abbiamo trovato lungo la strada per andare a Gardaland. Il posto è molto bello, sia fuori che all'interno, abbiamo mangiato delle orecchiette con salsiccia stracciatella e pomodori e un filetto con i funghi che erano una verà bontà, sopratutto la carne, la perfezione, una cottura impeccabile. Persino la pasta al pomodoro per mio figlio, il tiramisù alla nutella e anche il caffè.. eccellente la qualunque. La signora che ci ha servito troppo gentile e molto brava, consiglio vivamente chi fa un salto verso Gardaland di fermarsi a mangiare assolutamente qui, i prezzi sono molto accessibili anche, per la qualità altissima di ogni cosa è anche poco. Super consigliato!!!!!"

"We were there in November 2022. Except an unexpected unpleasant misunderstanding with the booking, I still decided to rate 5-star for this restaurant as the food was delicious, the location was convenient from Gardaland hotel, the parking was spacy, the place was beautiful and the staff was friendly. A tip when using TheFork to reserve the table: Earn 2000 Yums (ca. EUR 50) when using this referral code for your first booking: 837367DE"

"Amazing home-feeling local place with actual charcoal grill (in front of you). I guess it was a farm before. Staff doesn't speak english, but were super patient with our kids and us fiddling with translators and images. That was actually enjoyable. I can dine here every day"

"Very delicious dinner I had here in this location very close to Peschiera del Garda and Gardaland! Very good the “Fiorentina steak” and “Magatello affumicato”! And at the end you can finish with incredible good “grappa”"

"Mi spiace dover dare 4 stelle a questa struttura che avrebbe tutti i requisiti per prenderne 5. Piatti ottimi e soprattutto di ottima qualità (tagliata superlativa e pesto stratosferico). Location raffinata e rilassante. Personale gentile e disponibile. I prezzi sono un tantino alti e tarati su uno standard alla “tedesca”. Ma almeno è tutto ottimo. A fine cena , però, è successo un episodio che mi ha molto infastidita. Quando abbiamo ordinato i dolci, la cameriera non ha saputo spiegarci gli ingredienti di uno di essi. Avendo delle intolleranze, questo era molto importante. Quando si è avvicinato il gestore x sapere se andasse tutto bene, abbiamo approfittato per chiedere a lui. Visto che ne ha decantato le lodi e visto che era di nostro gradimento, abbiamo chiesto se fossimo ancora in tempo x sostituire il gelato con questo dolce. Ma dopo un po’ ci arriva il gelato e ci viene detto che ormai era stato preparato. Per l’empatia che si era creata con il gestore, ero certa e sicurissima che ci avrebbe offerto lui il dolce richiesto. Anche solo un assaggio. Invece nulla. E questo mi ha lasciato un amaro in bocca che una cena di un certo livello non dovrebbe lasciare. Peccato. Forse x loro è meglio coccolare gli stranieri che lasciano laute mance. Ma….un minimo di patriottismo dovrebbe sempre trionfare."
