This place exudes a peaceful ambience with breathtaking views. The skyline in the evening is just something to gaze at and dive in endlessly. Great service and allure of friendliness and respect. Loved the soft sounds of nature around the area. Even though I didn't have a reservation, they made one for me. In the end I was filled and had my smile across the cheeks for the night. I will totally revisit this place.

We were referred here by a hotelier. One who owns one of the finest hotels in Fasano. Shrimp appetizer was cooked perfectly, sauce was magnificent, a perfect starter. Ravioli with potatoe & bacon, topped with a creamed green pea puree. Tasted like my nonna's cooking. Turbo was cooked perfectly, not overcooked, flavored with a fish stock foam. Absolutely delicious. I am an Italian American from New York with family in Naples & Sicily. Not bragging, but I know fine dining. This was Michelin quality. Will bring my friends here. Compliments to chef & staff.
Very good kitchen, I can recommend it! Thanks for having us
We had a pleasant and quiet evening (it's still low season in April). The chef took care of us and helped with a few recommendations. The wine was excellent and the meat was perfectly cooked (maybe a little sauce was missing for the veal and potatoes). We tasted a few extra dishes that he prepared for us. Go visit and taste if you're in the area!
Great restaurant overlooking the lake... Dishes change daily but visit... Drink local wine and enjoy
We had dinner last night at the restaurant. The booking was done online with an Italian restaurant service website, the fork. We had a very nice table and a great view at the garda lake and surroundings. The food was absolutely fantastic except for the raw fish starter. I probably had one of the best beef T-bone steak I’ve ever had grilled. We all had a stater, main dish and dessert. It was all great except the fish. Definitely recommend going there. Negative points are, they don’t have a lot of place to sit at the terrace on the top. Therefore don’t expect a great view. We were lucky. Also the men’s toilet is a little bit strange And not on the same level as the food and the service.
