Bon Ton Bistrot — Restaurant in Sirmione

This restaurant wad really (really) bad, which was weird given its high score. One of the worst experiences we had even outside Italy. The setting looked really promising from outside and abiance was nice too. However, once we got the food thr whole thing took a really bad turn. The pasta with salmon came in such a small skimpy portion, but that wasn't even the worst part. It had zero to none slamon, two small dried microscopic salmon crumbs with no taste hidden in a pasta that was seriously overcooked and haf no falvour too. I asked the waiter to send it back, which I have never done before - even in relatively bad restaurants. My kid ordered, the pasta filled with cheese, but it was also overcookec and after two bites she wouldn't touch it anymore. I tried it myself and it was too salty, dry and unchewabale. In their favor I can say they took the pasta dish without arguing, relaced and didnt charge for it. However, not sure why to serve such a food to begin with. The worse dining experience I had...

A friendly waiter also made hearty conversation with us and the food came rather quickly too. Would recommend this place as it ticks all the boxes of value for money, taste, and...

I would say if you want a good eating experience at a kind of quiet spot with still some people around and good food it is a safe bet. I had the ravioli which had a bit too much butter on the plate but it tasted pretty good and the cheesecake left something to be desired, but wasn’t bad in any means, but I think it had too much blueberry sauce and was a bit too tall. The waitress was really kind and would recommend the restaurant due to the good food but mainly when dining in other countries I’d say the service means more which is excellent about this restaurant and the food is good too. And when I criticize the food I am just nitpicking, the taste was good, service...
