Nice restaurant and food. A bit more expensive than other places but in my opinion you dont get any more for your money. Excellent food and water side location. ...

Beautiful location on the lake. Service was excellent and the food was delicious. I was surprised when I saw the rating was a 3.5. Weve been dining twice daily for 3 weeks throughout Italy and Sicily and this should easily be rated 4.2.

Ernesto and his wonderful team are a family run autentica restaurant on the beautiful old port. Delicious lake fish dishes unlike their neighbours, and home made pasta, excellent wines helpfully recommended and a genuinely warm hospitality. Highly recommended.

We took a couple of glasses of wine here while strolling through Malcesine and it has a great location for that. Service was fine and prices decent. Recommend!

Reserved a table and had the lake front view completely uninterrupted. Beautiful. Food was lovely, wine suggestions great and the multilingual staff were equally impressive and attentive. Wonderful evening and no where near as expensive as expected

Malcesine isnt the best place for good food on the lake, so its nice to wholeheartedly commend somewhere. The location is beautiful but the food is the real highpoint. The gnocchi in particular is exceptional.
