Ristorante Vista Lago Loncrino — Restaurant in Torri del Benaco

Lovely restaurant with a great view! The last time we were in Torri del Benaco, the restaurant was closed. Upon arrival we were surprised to see new owners and we reserved a table. We were welcomed by Judy, one of the owners, and she gave us a short overview how the restaurant came to be. She also made a wine recommendation with Saint Christina‘s Laguna, that paired well with all our dishes. The welcome dish of cucumbers with anchovy was fantastic. We ordered two dishes for the first course: Frutti di Mare and grilled shrimp. Both were excellent with the perfect amount of spices. We split the second course with the muscles. By far the best I have eaten world wide. The sauce was phenomenal. We were also served handmade bread, which passed perfect to the sauce.

Wow. Just wow. If you are anywhere near the east shore of Lake Garda you must find this gem of a restaurant.

This was our second time dining at Vista Lago, a gem with the most beautiful view of the lake and a creative, delicious cuisine. We were dazzled by the wine selection and staff expertise and enjoyed an aperitivi as the sunset before enjoying a delightful summer salad with tuna and fennel. Chef Denise’s ragù is a beautiful offering, supremely warm and savory, she offers a unique take on a classic that you cannot miss. The secondis were cooked very well and we were very impressed by the grilled meats and fish we ordered. The desserts are beautifully presented and full of excitement and delicious combinations, there is something for everyone’s sweet tooth. Vista Lago should be on your Lago di Garda itinerary. Grazie...
