Ristorante Risotteria Rustichel — Restaurant in Comunità Alto Garda e Ledro

We chose the restaurant because it looked inviting and offered interesting dishes, not just the usual pizza. Unfortunately, we never actually managed to eat there. Apparently, you can only book a table by calling with an Italian phone number. We tried for two days and only once did someone answer, but they hung up after I politely (though in admittedly poor Italian) asked if they spoke English or German.

Since we were nearby, we decided to try our luck and go directly to the restaurant. This time, however, we were turned away by a lady. I should mention that we arrived right at opening time, no tables were occupied yet, and we even promised to stay only for a quick meal (because of our kids’ bedtime) and free up the table for later guests. The lady simply turned her back on us.

I don’t mind if a place prefers not to serve foreign tourists, but in that case, it would be helpful to state this clearly on the website to save everyone the trouble.

On the plus side, we checked the reviews and went to Trattoria alla Costa, as recommended by another guest two weeks ago. The food was excellent, and the staff were friendly...

My aunt found this place in a tourist guide. We said - ok, let's go there. First impression was like: ok, back alley, local family place, good vibe. We asked for a table, and it came out that all tables have been reserved for that night (local public holiday) but eventually and unexpectedily the waitress (la nonna) gave us the table, what a luck! We've ordered local wine and 4 different rissotos (they have like 90+ variations of this dish). Every meal was different and delicious, rice was cooked on spot, very buttery and full of flavour. We were sooooo happy after that meal because all Risottos served were "one of a kind" . The sound of local people laughing and talking did the job and left unforgettable impression . Must have for trying. And of course our dinner ended up with a great quality espresso. Place highly...

If you're ever in the neighbourhood, I urge you to visit this place. From the moment we stepped inside, we realised we had found a local gem.

The menu is full of delicious risottos but also features many other staples of great quality.

We had more food than we could eat (for a very attractive price), but they gladly prepared a to-go bag for us.

All in all, we loved it here, and if this had not been our last night in the region, I'm sure we would have...
