Il Forte Dei Cappuccini — Restaurant in Peschiera del Garda

When first arriving at the restaurant, I already had a bad feeling as I didn’t know who the staff were as no uniforms were worn just casual clothes. The free bread was very dry. The menu did have a lot options to choose from so after choosing what we would like (lasagna, carbonara, grilled chicken), It was a very quick service, We Waited only 5 minutes for our food to come which would suggest the food wasn’t fresh. After tasting the food I could tell this was the case and it was not fresh! Said to the waiter about it not tasting good and we were finished, he took the barely eaten food away, swearing to his colleague about us in the process. We still paid full price for the food. Appalling service and management. Would not recommend eating here! Also after reading the other bad reviews and seeing how childish the owners responses are, I would have stayed clear...

If you are up for a quick pizza in a nice spot outside the old town frenzy and don’t mind the touristy feeling, go. If you are looking for a good restaurant and a somewhat more authentic...

We visited this restaurant in the hope of seeing the view, but all of the tables with desirable views were reserved and left unused for the duration of our visit.

Out of the four meals only one was satisfactory: Chicken was very salty. Tuna was poor in terms of taste and colour. One of the king prawns was green on the inside. The lasagne was delicious, and having ham in it was a nice touch.

We ordered grilled vegetables, which arrived cold, and we were charged for a side order that we didn't order or receive.

The bread sticks were over priced, at €1.50 per bread stick, and this was not listed in the menu - no way of knowing how much they were...
