Ristorante Giardino delle Esperidi — Restaurant in Bardolino

Sometimes you just have to trust the Michelin Guide – and this time, it was absolutely spot on! Giardino delle Esperidi is one of those places that instantly makes you feel welcome. The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do, which sets the tone for a truly enjoyable evening.

We chose to sit outside, and it was perfect – a cozy little spot where you can soak up the lively street vibe while still focusing entirely on the food. And what food it is! We went for the two-course menu (€44 per person), and every bite felt like a small celebration of flavor.

If you go, don’t miss the fish carpaccio as a starter – it’s fresh, delicate, and simply unforgettable. The wine list offers a thoughtful selection, and the waitress gave us excellent recommendations with a smile.

Whether you’re a fish lover or prefer vegetarian dishes, this place is a must-visit. Great atmosphere, wonderful service, and food that easily lives up to its...

We have booked this restaurant for an advice pof our friend as he told its very nice. Its the first time we have such a bad food experience in Garda. From the very beginning till the end of our dinner everything was awful. The waiters were very rood. We ve been waiting for the first course over an hour!!!.In my plate i found a hair so the waiter had changed it and i had to wait 30 minutes more. The second courses were not good too… the meat was very tough and unbeatable… Want to pay attention that you can order only a la carte menu for 40 for two dishes or 60 euros for 3 dishes and the choice is not so wide… So after all we wanted to run away from this awful place… we asked for the bill but it turned out that they didn’t accept credit cards… lucky we had cash… So if you want to spoil your dinner time welcome to...

Excellent food here. No wonder this place got a nod from Michelin (the Michelin Plate: Good Cooking). I had the truffle baked in cheese, I would normally not have gone for a dish like that because most of the time I have gotten truffle it has overpowered the dish but I thought it was worth the risk this time due to the reputation this place has. I was not disappointed. The parmesan the truffle was baked in was strong enough to compete with the truffle and provided a balance to the dish. My girlfriend went for the vegetarian millefeuille which was also excellent. It felt like the vegetables where picked that morning. I am not giving it 5 stars because it was a little pricey and it felt like it was missing something, like it needed more atmosphere but I would definitely recommend anyone...
