Hotel Ambasciatori

An Italian‑French couple runs this charming villa with a classic atmosphere on the outskirts of Brescia, with some tables set in bay windows overlooking the garden. Miramonti l’Altro has made history in Brescia and Lombardy dining by bringing together diverse gastronomic traditions: chef Philippe Léveillé’s French origins introduce some of the finest ingredients from across the Alps, combined with reinterpretations of classic Italian dishes, including Mediterranean favorites. Not to be missed is the glorious and essential cheese cart, extraordinarily well‑stocked.

This restaurant housed in a country house dating from the 19C offers elegant period dining rooms and a menu featuring Mediterranean-style meat and fish dishes.

This is the classic spot to recommend to anyone who wants fish prepared simply and traditionally, with no frills, just top-quality seafood that the friendly owner personally sources. The menu is supplemented by spoken specials based on that day’s fish-market finds, but among the mains we suggest you don’t miss the charcoal-grilled dishes.
