The flavours of a Lake Garda holiday
Pizzeria Ristorante Al Ristoro
Open for almost 50 years, at Al Ristoro you’ll find traditional Italian specialties – a small selection of dishes designed following the seasons, as well as an excellent pizza with a light and fragrant crust. All with an excellent quality/price ratio. Furthermore, the location is truly strategic: it is a few steps from our hotel, the cable car and the Scaligero Castle.
Ristorante-Pizzeria Al Cervo
A little further, this restaurant-pizzeria is on the hill, less than a kilometer from the center, offering grilled fish and meat, homemade pasta and a selection of excellent pizzas. The setting is also very nice, with a well-kept, pleasant garden. There is also a fenced play area with slides and playhouses for the little ones.
Ristorante Aristotele da Nunzio
In the heart of the historic center, between the port and Piazza Statuto, you’ll find this restaurant with a diverse menu, ranging from pasta dishes to meat and fish second courses, to pizza. The care in the presentation of each dish, the intimate and romantic setting, and the summer terrace with a wonderful pergola, make it a unique place not to be missed.

The contrast between ancient and modern, found both in the dishes and in the style of the location, is what makes this elegant Michelin-starred restaurant overlooking Lake Garda unique. The famous chef Leandro Luppi masterfully interprets the flavors of the area, creating true excellence that can be savoured in every dish, perfect if you want to spend an unforgettable evening, delighting both the sight and the palate.
