Ok I know I have been recently posting a lot of stuff and saying how great it is. Once again I have to post how amazing the food was. During our trip we have been blessed with the benefit of an amazing concierge at our hotel. I will soon be posting about her and our hotel. So keep an eye out. On that note this was a recommendation from Claudia from our hotel. From the moment we sat down the service was impeccable. We were recommended to try the appetizer of the day which was fresh caught shrimp from the lake. That set the tone for the whole meal. It was delightful. The shrimp were sweet and delicious and they were served so that the shrimp was the star of the dish. No extra stuff needed they were heavenly. Then came our main course. WOW, is all I can say. Absolutely fabulous. From the Perch to the Rosemary crusted lamb chops. Everything was delight for your tastebuds. Being that up to this point everything was so good, we couldn't leave without trying desserts. We each got something different and every one of them blew us away. All were light and sweet and delicious. Not overpowering, but just right to finish off the meal. Then the waiter offered us a complimentary after dinner drink. We all had Limoncello. It was the perfect ending to another beautiful day on Lake Garda. We immediately booked our reservation for the next evening on the water front tables to finish off our great family vacation...

I was now the 4th year in a row at this Osteria - and i do not understand the people not understanding the type of restaurant this is - grate fully not a tourist one with dishes from home - hey guys we are in Italy at the lake Garda!! One of the last restaurants specializing for the local cuisine - fish from the lake in front of the location. A "Wienerschnitzel" i can eat at home. The waiter was really friendly. You can read the card BEFORE you ask for a table. The kitchen is very good und the complete package is excellent. I can not await to coma back to eat here cuisine and cucina locale del Garda. Mile...
