The place is very pleasant there is a lake for sport fishing which the restaurant overlooks. The service is attentive and all the staff are very kind, we ordered two sandwiches because we had to go on an excursion and they prepared the Cannara onion parmigiana for takeaway. All very good. The restaurant is of a high standard with honest prices.

Additional information: a very important element is the presence of a very large car park, outdoor spaces and a terrace (complete with a wonderful view) and the type of atmosphere of the restaurant: intimate and very elegant.The service is stratospheric, the food is superb.I absolutely recommend.

Panettone 10 and praise... and I'm not wrong in reviewing the place!4 of us had dinner last night. We took a smuggler's starter (and shared it comfortably between all of us), then three pizzas (exceptional), chips with grilled lamb (super!), three desserts, one better than other.But that's not all.At the entrance they sell panettone of a quality never heard before... we bought one with three chocolates, one with salted caramel and a classic one... in short, three panettone in 4 (seems like a good average to us!). The fact is that today, the one with three chocolates, is already finished and I fear that the other two won't make it to Christmas either. What can I say...trying is believing! If after tasting all three we haven't gained too much weight, we will definitely go and buy more (like the limoncello one and/or the black cherry one).W the smuggler's hideout!

Excellent for the quality of the dishes, service and courtesy. Gluten-free menu comparable to the standard menu with the same quality, truly super. I recommend it to everyone, celiac or not. Thank you very much to the owner and his staff.

If you eat very very well, excellent service, good quality, right portions, and those who are celeeco like me will have no problems because they also make gluten-free flat bread and good, wonderful dessert, the right prices I recommend

Immersed in the magical atmosphere of an ancient medieval village, this enchanting lakeside restaurant is a true culinary jewel. Its picturesque location offers breathtaking scenery, with the lake's calm waters reflecting the lights of the sunset. The food, a symphony of refined flavours, is expertly prepared and elegantly presented. The friendly and attentive staff transforms every visit into an unforgettable experience, making this place an unmissable culinary destination for those seeking harmony between good food and the beauty around.The polenta with wild boar served in this restaurant is a culinary delight that conquers the palate with its extraordinary combination of flavors. The polenta, perfectly creamy and enveloping, acts as an ideal setting for the slowly cooked, tender and tasty wild boar. The rich and aromatically seasoned sauce envelops every bite, giving a symphony of taste that transports you directly into the most authentic culinary traditions. A dish that not only satisfies the appetite, but also delights lovers of rustic and genuine cuisine. The sliced beef in this restaurant is truly extraordinary. The meat, perfectly cooked to perfection, is juicy and tender, with an external crust that contains the intense flavors of the grill. Each slice is a masterpiece of perfection, releasing an enveloping aroma of roast. Accompanied by expertly selected side dishes, this cut offers an unforgettable gastronomic experience, satisfying every desire of gourmets in search of carnivorous perfection. The onion parmigiana served here is a true culinary masterpiece. Succulent layers of sweet, tender onions, caressed by a delicate fusion of cheese and tomato, create a symphony of flavors in every bite. Culinary mastery is revealed in the perfect balance between textures, with each layer blending harmoniously, giving an enveloping and rich tasting experience. This onion parmigiana is the result of careful preparation and a passion for gastronomic excellence which is reflected in every detail of the dish. And finally, a rich selection of desserts which in this restaurant are a true delight for the senses. The almond crust basket with berry cream offers a combination of crunchiness and creaminess, while the tiramisu, with its layers of delicacy, conquers the palate with the perfect harmony between coffee and mascarpone. The cocoa and ricotta delight is a joy for chocolate lovers, with a soft texture and an enveloping taste. This sweet experience is the icing on the cake of an extraordinary meal, demonstrating the kitchen's mastery in every aspect of the menu. The price? Absolutely adequate. It is not a simple restaurant, but a real culinary destination. Highly recommended!!!
