Villa Ella in Luxury Resort

Situated in the upper part of the town near the Vittoriale estate, this rustic 18C building is the setting for regional cuisine prepared using seasonal ingredients. The charming small courtyard offers shade for summer dining, while the interior dining room also includes a single table on a small balcony which needs to be booked well in advance.

Villa Fiordaliso is one of the beautiful early 20C villas that line the lake front. Surrounded by verdant grounds and extending out into the lake on a pontoon, the restaurant serves creative, modern cuisine. The chef is equally at ease with fish and meat dishes, while the extensive wine list suggests that you’ll have no problem finding your favourite wine here.

Standing on the Lake Garda road, this small, simple, yet far from ordinary restaurant serves Mediterranean dishes with the occasional inventive twist. Two words of advice – opt for alfresco dining in fine weather, and don’t miss the maccheroncini served with perch and lemon pesto sauce.

A trattoria that tells stories of family and tradition, renewed under the guidance of those who have made hospitality and quality their vocation. The spaces open up into different atmospheres: the authentic warmth of the dining room, the closed veranda that filters the soft light of the seasons, and the cellar, where the scent of wine accompanies tastings and aperitifs. The kitchen serves Italian dishes, prepared with simplicity and good taste, using fresh, seasonal ingredients: genuine flavours intertwined with the pleasure of feeling at home.

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.
