The restaurant Foce promises a culinary experience, but after our visit, we were left with mixed feelings.
The interior was quite simple, with plastic chairs that didn't quite meet our expectations. It was challenging to push the chairs in for the kids, which seemed inconvenient and inaccessible.
Our dining experience started with an uncomfortably wait time. It was frustrating as we expected a more smooth and quick service. However, the view was simply wonderful, which helped ease the wait a little.
The attitude of the staff was very mixed. Some were super friendly, while others were rude. None of the waiters seemed professional, which affected our overall experience.
When it comes to the food, there were both highlights and disappointments. On the positive side, the cola was nicely chilled, which was refreshing on a hot summer day. And the pizzas, when they finally arrived, were wonderful - rich in flavor and perfectly baked. Unfortunately, the food did not come at the same time, which significantly diminished our dining experience.
There were major issues with timing, especially regarding the kids' pizzas, which never arrived. No waiter followed up on this. By the time the pizzas were served, the rest of us had already eaten. To our disappointment, there was no form of compensation for this mistake.
The pasta was below average - neither fantastic nor disappointing, but the tiramisu left much to be desired. It lacked the richness and depth one would normally expect from this classic Italian dessert - it was simply tasteless.
Overall, our experience at Foce was below average. There is significant room for improvement, especially in terms of service, food delivery, and timing of serving. It seems that Foce has potential, but substantial improvements are needed before we would consider recommending it as a restaurant.
My advice: By the pizza as takeaway, dine at...
Read moreThe location gets top marks. As to the service and the waiting times, where do I start? Right from the start, it was clear the staff were overwhelmed by the number of tables they had to serve. The servers were lovely but the person taking our order was discourteous, unhelpful and clearly in a rush as he waited impatiently for us to make our orders. He was almost annoyed that we were talking a few more moments to make up our minds to order. When challenged, he said he had other tables to serve so we asked him to give us more time that turned out to be 30 minutes later and with the same gruff manner. Apparently they only have 2 people who take the order which is clearly far too few for a busy restaurant. We arrived at 8.40pm and our food arrived at 10.20pm!! Some people had their second course arrive before their first course. I can accept a busy restaurant and staff being delayed but what I will not accept is the rudeness and couldn’t care less attitude of a restaurant. The servers were lovely but as I say, the main waiter was arrogant. Our last evening on Lake Garda was unfortunately soured by this experience. Judging from the defensive replies management has given to other negative reviews, I wonder if things will improve. I doubt it. If you go there, enjoy the lovely setting but don’t expect...
Read moreMy family and I love this place, its located directly on the Lake with beautiful views from your table. The Menu is varied with daily/nightly specials available ( which they should write on a board for people to read, not just call them out at your table, but thats just my opinion ). Lots of friendly staff working every night, all helpful but could be a little more attentive, but thats not to take away from the great atmosphere they all help create. If you are in the area, I can recommend a visit or two or three like we did this season.🇮🇹🍕🥩🌅⛵️🍷🍹
My reply to the owner; My blackboard suggestion was to have a mobile one at the table to see and read. Because the lovely woman calling out ( in several language’s👌 ) the specials to each table, is a lovely idea but with there being 5/6 specials, I personally forgot what she said at the start by the time she finished so I simply chose not to order a special. In our 3 visits ( this season ) there was no extra page in the menus we were given. But if you are already selling enough daily specials then forget my humble suggestion. You have a great...
