Avoid! We visited in the evening it started well, as it is a beautiful location. The two young waitresses were pleasant. However is started when a storm came (not their fault) inside was stuffy and poorly lit, there was no music or ambience. The table behind was covered with office things and boxes of bottles stacked all around. Our table lamp did not work so I had to take one myself from another table the table was not laid for us with cutlery (which we then did not receive until I asked once all of our meals had been delivered). We ordered bread for two in and im glad we did due to the wait (be wary any complaint is met with the owner saying every customer drunk all the olive oil🤣). When we finally was able to order I asked for pizza which had run out by 7.30? There were only a handful of tables occupied at the restaurant. I settled on pasta, my partner has the chicken my in-laws had the duck and lamb. The food was ok. The meats were a bit tough. However my prawn pasta had only 2 prawns in it which I do not find acceptable for a pasta dish (see photo). All of the portion sizes were on the smaller side and the chicken was not seasoned, it was plain. We had asked for mayo when we ordered our food, when the food came we were told they didn't have any. We told the waitresses we were told they had some when we ordered the food so she went away and finally returned when my partner was 2/3 through his meal. The waitresses seemed rushed off their feet and the service had no direction. We only managed to order 1 drink whilst there. There are much better restaurants that are more welcoming and would appreciate your custom avoid this one. The quality of the food does not do the view justice,...
Read moreDear Olga,
Today I went to your restaurant to order nothing because I know from experience that your chef is probably not even a proper chef and has no clue what he is doing. At least that's what the food in your restaurant told me when I payed 20€ for a dry cheap cut tagliata di manzo that was splattered across the plate with zero love for food. I don't even need to go into detail anymore. Many others have spoken the truth about the overpriced low quality food. What I wanted to tell you is: I drank all of your olive oil, just because I know it's probably the only thing you spend at least some money on in terms of ingredient shopping. I drank the whole bottle on the table and dipped your cheap bread in it like a maniac. I have to be honest with you dear Olga, your Olive oil it is good! But you, most of your staff and especially your cook. You should never have gotten into the position of managing a Restaurant in such a location. It is a shame that so many tourists come to this place everyday getting robbed by greedy Olga.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE PEOPLE. YOUR MONEY IS BETTER...
Read moreThe hotel is in a great location overlooking the little port of Gargnano and the staff was nice and friendly. Other than that it's just an old, completely run down hotel. The furniture in the rooms is either decades old and worn or some of the cheapest stuff available at IKEA. There's also a lack of power outlets not to mention air condition. There was a ceiling fan but it was so shaky, we feared it would fall down if we used it. ||The bathroom was very old and tiny as well. The shower was so small that it was nearly impossible to shower without the curtain sticking to the body. ||It's a real pity the owners don't make more out of such a wonderful location!||||Due to the location, the old windows and the lack of a/c you will hear everything that’s going on on the piazza in front of the hotel, so don’t plan on going to bed early! ||||Given the shortcomings mentioned above, the price of our room was totally exaggerated. ||||I will probably return to Gargnano as it’s a beautiful little village but I will stay at a different...
