La Taverna — Restaurant in Porlezza

This is one for the tourists I think. It was food, it was broadly edible but ultimately this is what you can get from a packet at home. A cheap, hard white rice risotto with dry, soggy fried fish left me feeling as sad as the dish looked. We reserved a table, that they initially denied, until we were able to prove we called the restaurant’s number. An order of wine never materialized but somehow made it on to the bill. You get the picture. Drive 5 minutes in either direction and you will likely find better options, this one isn’t worth it even for the sake of convenience food. Had anyone bothered to ask about the meal we would have given feedback, but it seems the staff care even less...

Brilliant location for a restaurant. Such a nice area to walk around especially late in the evening. The food was great, I loved the fried mozzarella and the ham was gorgeous. I chose to eat a pepper pasta. It was good, no complaints! I usually choose other options but felt like having this! And great choice to have bacon with it. Lastly I had a tiramisu which you can never go wrong with. Thanks for the great service as well. Lovely staff and although it was a busy night. Food came in quickly and there was always someone walking past! You can get beautiful...

The best pizza crust around Porlezza. And the clams marinara... miss them a lot. Fish dishes were all good. The menu lists dishes prepared with frozen products. The table wine is quite acceptable. The wait staff is very friendly, chatty and funny. They even sing for (or with) you. And the children will have fun discovering all the frogs figurines in the restaurant. Parking might be an issue. If you are staying in Parco San Marco hotel, it is a 15 minute walk to...
