Ristorante il Giglio — Restaurant in Comunità Montana Parco Alto Garda bresciano

On our Hotel's staff advice we ate at Il Giglio on our arrival night. The Restaurant is off the Main road & a little difficult to find. But the little extra effort to find it is worth the while.

The settings are modern, simple and clean. The tables are well spaced apart, covid-19 oblige I suppose.

The Restaurant is simply: FISH. Fresh, well cooked, well presented on king size dishes with copious portions. The oysters my wife had were fresh, they smelled the sea, the Branzino al forno (oven cooked sea bass) was a pleasant discovery, we normally have it oven cooked in a crust of salt, and my fried Calamari were as they are supposed to be: gently fried to a light golden color, cooked but not chewy. Perfect.

The wine list is a little limited and it is composed of mostly whites from the Garda region.

Sandro, the owner, is omnipresent but discreet, very efficient and courteous.

It is not an inexpensive Restaurant, but if you are looking for a meal were fresh and good fish is the objective, look no further. You are at the right address.

We were so satisfied that we paid the Restaurant a second visit. And satisfied we were, again! And so were the couple of English people, sitting next to us, who kept on looking at our dishes and who decided to repeat the experience the next day.

I don't know if and when we'll be in the area again, but if we do we will definitely put Il Giglio...

Lovely local spot specialising in seafood. The staff and owner are friendly and welcoming and there was a lively atmosphere which added to the character. There was an assortment of local fresh water and salt water fish to choose from and the portion sizes were generous and full of flavour. The wine list is extensive with a variety of local wines to choose from, all very reasonably priced. We each had a primi and secondi course and a bottle of wine, paying around €80 per person...

I was surprised that restaurant was almost empty when we arrived. Now I know why. Starters were correct, except of smoked salmon But main dishes were very salty and with no taste. The dishes looked good but they were tasteless. We were disappointed. I never ate so bad spaghetti with clams in Italy. We were hungry and tired after our journey and that’s why we ate, paid and we will never ever...
