Come hungry and start with appetizers. Highly recommend the mix and the tartare. The Carbonara is a MUST for the main dish.

Truly the best food I have eaten in the city. The owner and the staff were amazing but the food is the real star. We tried 7 plates in total, plus a lovely gazpacho from the chef. For me the standout was the Veat tartare served on Veal bone marrow, but in truth I couldn't find fault with any of the dishes. This is a rare post for me these days and I am only posting as this restaurant was outstanding. Well worth the 10 minute walk from the Arena.

The restaurant also has an extensive grappa selection which they bring over on a cart. We initially discovered this restaurant on our first trip to Gargnano and it was the perfect romantic dinner for two. The restaurant has a picturesque outdoor dining area overlooking the water (as well as lovely indoor space with floor to ceiling glass so one can appreciate the view in cooler weather). We're back for our second trip to the area and they were especially friendly to our young well-behaved daughter when we came back as repeat customers.

On top of that the service was very friendly if not fast. Another living proof of my theory: "ode to the second line restaurants.

Food was all really good. Highly recommend the seafood pasta - but be warned, there are tiny bones in the fish. Edible, but bothersome. We also had the fowl dish. It was a quarter leg and skin was a bit on the fatty side, but the sauce was delicious. The waitress gave us free glass of dessert wine as we waited to pay. We got a grappa and a limoncello. Great way to end a great meal!

Black truffle pasta, seafood spaghetti (kamut grain pasta) - both were excellent and could easily be shared. Grilled, local fish from Garda was prepared simply and needed nothing more than a drizzle of olive oil. The wine list was well priced and featured a handful of local wines with drinking. If you're looking to avoid the tourist driven restaurant, and experience a place that's a bit more authentic, I'd give Il Gallo a try for its simple, well priced local food and wine.

My wife had skewers of broiled squid topped with smoked cheese and onions. Our son had a very spicy orecchiette arrabbiata pasta with shredded tuna. This was delicious and the portion huge. You cannot go wrong here. Once again, the food was wonderful. Prices are very reasonable.

Everything was fresh, and the flavors and combinations were creative. The pastas and raw fish apps were my own personal favorites, but that is truly a matter of personal taste (I'm not a superfan of super "fishy" fish dishes. Been in Italy about 5 days and this was my fave food so far! So why less than 5 stars? 1)All the "fishy" fish. Wish there had been a bit more variety. I don't need to be eating sardine in 3 different courses, right? I mean, maybe it was for continuity or something, who knows. Also, already having sardine, did we need saor? 2)In the middle of dinner there was an hour long break because vandals tripped the town's system of air raid sirens and all the power went out to the town (and we had to listen to the sirens too). And the whole hour it took to get the power back on we basically just had to sit in darkness. They did comp us a free glass of wine for this trouble which was nice, but it was kind of crazy! An experience to be sure. :) Overall, I deffo recommend this place if you're in the area- just make a rezzie so you get the view!
