Garda Marina by Garda FeWo

The eponymous restaurant of the Leali brothers has, over the course of a decade, become a solid gastronomic point of reference for the area. The cooking displays an increasingly signature style: the dishes are precise and technical, built upon original and carefully considered recipes, while a growing interest in the vegetable world emerges with ever greater clarity, even as sound offerings of fish and meat remain on the menu. Among these, the rainbow trout stands out, served with a mayonnaise drawn from its own roe, a parsley sauce and a kind of Brescian ceviche also based on trout: an emblem

One of the best restaurants in the region, where you’ll enjoy eclectic cuisine full of convincing flavours which is inspired by various regional traditions (especially those from Brescia, but also from elsewhere in Italy) which always hits the mark.

Situated in the historic centre of the charming small village of San Felice del Benaco, Duo is the project of chefs Daniele Ghedini and Federico Pelizzari (the latter also oversees the front of house). Their personalised, modern cuisine is Mediterranean in style and features meat-based dishes, vegetarian options and fish recipes (salt- and freshwater), with a focus on matured fish which also has its own dedicated tasting menu. This colourful restaurant also boasts an outdoor space shaded by a pergola and surrounded by walnut trees.
