Locanda Lo Scudo — Restaurant in Soave

Accommodation is quiet and enjoyed our stay.

During our stay in the Hotel, we took the time to stop in for an amazing seafood lunch as well.

We started the meal with two succulent Gò de Fasolari oysters, these were recommended by the wait staff and if you like oysters definitely worth trying.

They matched well with our Gin and Tonic starter drinks as did the white anchovies, bathed in the restaurants unique herb and oil blend.

I’m enjoying trying different styles of anchovies in Italy and the ones here were light and worked super well on the bread, and I definitely mopped up the oil too. The roast octopus was nice and I liked how it was done.

For lunch, we got the two available pasta dishes. One was tagliolini with red prawn tartare, lime butter and mullet bottarga. The second was a spaghettoni with clams and mullet bottarga.

Both pasta dishes were amazing, the depth of umami flavour with the creamy pasta was spot on, the bottarga's rich, savoury notes made each mouthful better and I’m keen to explore this ingredient more as we travel Italy. Paired with another crisp Soave Classico.

The flavours were profoundly simple and I mean it as high praise for chefs who understand their ingredients. The staff were friendly, professional and helpful.

The experience of sharing meals with people you love in places like this are unforgettable memories for our future selves. Wander in, take a seat and let your palate savour the plates of well...

Locanda is a small hotel just outside the city walls of Soave. We arrived on a Monday in October and both the city and the hotel looked deserted. However, we were kindly received by the owner of the hotel who told us that we were the only people staying there for the night and it was self service. The room, the bed and the bathroom were very nice and high standard. We had a nice wiew towards the city wall. we had access to coffee and tea machine and drinks in the minibar, which was nice. The only draw back was the lack of normal breakfast. We had to get up early so a yoghurt, cofee and some sweets were ok, but not what I normally would expect for a breakfast. Avoid a Monday in Soave and this is a perfect place to stay. Then one fo the best restaurants in town located in the hotel,...
