We had squid ink tagliatelle to share to start, followed by the Sea Bass which came with a few different fabulous sauces, and we shared the pork cheek with mashed potatoes as a final course which was beyond delicious. Each course blew us away, and service was attentive but not intrusive. It was about to rain before we sat outside so we were able to a table on a Saturday in September without reservations, otherwise I would recommend reserving a table as the restaurant is not large. A bit pricey compared to other places here but worth every penny. The wine is also available in half bottles so we had a few! They also took AmEx which most places do not, so that was a plus. This place was certainly a highlight of our beautiful trip to Lake Garda (put on your bucket list!!)

We decided to see Lake garda and explore the little shops as a day trip. We came across Scaligeri's and it was incredible. I ordered the margarita pizza, my mother ordered the swiss burger. She is typically pretty picky about eating a lot out and isn't easily impressed but she absolutely loved it and described the burger as light, flavorful, simple, "just perfect", & the bread was light. My Margarita pizza was easily the best pizza i've ever had. since moving here I've tried probably around a dozen different places and this pizza was so incredible. it was extremely light, the bread was like a cloud and puffy, the sauce was light & flavorful but it was the perfect amount, & the cheese was beyond great. My mom doesn't even enjoy eating cheese and she was astonished when she tried it. We ordered a Red sparkling wine, Lambrusco, & we loved it, we cleared the bottle it quickly. For anyone who gets headaches easily from drinking, this is a perfect drink for you as it's smooth and extremely flavorful. We sat outside on their little patio/porch & it was somewhat cold BUT they have one of those fancy heaters with a flame that is very nice and they offer these red plaid blankets to put on your lap if you get cold. The view is a castle and people walking around it's so cute! the staff was very kind and did well speaking english as well although hopefully next time I visit, my italian will be better haha. the food came out with 7-10 minutes and was hot and excellent! I recommend this place, 100/10 it was truly incredible and authentic, please try their margarita pizza it was truly amazing and simple. I hope whoever visits has the same level of experience that we had! (i attached some photos)

La Roccia - The trap of tourist traps: We stayed at Hotel…read moreAlveci (which actually is a really nice place), about 300m from the historic gate / draw bridge to old town Sirmione. Upon check-in we were handed a small card with a few of "their" restaurants - where we would get 10% off as guests of the property. Growing up in the Alpine region of southern Germany, and therefore having visited Lake Garda dozens of times before, we normally would have never dined at an establishment located so central in such a high tourist traffic area. But I guess we spent a bit too much time at Jamaica Beach (very northern tip of the Sirmione peninsula) and basically were just looking for a place to have a halfway decent meal on our walk  back to the hotel. So we remembered that little card issued by our hotel, checked the restaurant reviews online and decided on La Roccia as the supposedly best option. Boy, were we wrong. We ordered beef tartar to share, gnocchi with meat sauce, and pizza capricciosa. The tartar dish was the worst we have ever had. Not only totally blant, but also not diced/cubed, and the connective tissue not removed. The result was an extremely chewy dish of large chunky pieces of skirt steak (at best) covered in raw egg. Yuck. The pizza....well, any - even supermarket frozen / domino's /pizza hut - that we have ever had before, was better than this soggy, leathery piece of barely cuttable dough. A disgrace to Italy's national dish. And the gnocchi... never arrived. Despite blue tooth/.. POS devices used by the wait staff. "There was a mistake in the kitchen". Or the order was never put in. When it was time to pay we were directed to the register inside. We took out the 10%-off-card from the hotel (should have been 100% off) and presented a major credit card to pay for the disaster dinner What followed then was a classic Italian scheme from the 1990s tourist rip-off playbook: the POS wifi/blue tooth connection for payments conveniently failed at this very point in time (so the charge can not be disputed later). For some reason the connection seemed still to be working fine on the waiters' devices. Our only options were to either pay cash or wait indefinitely until the credit card payment pad may or may not come back online. The floor manager's command of English (who was able to perfectly seat and attend to guests from various contries before) all of a sudden ceased to exist and therefore was unable to understand what we tried to address. All he did was to show us a print out that the 10% off he took supposedly was the rate of state imposed taxes on food that he had to cover. Not our problem, if the incentive given by their partner hotel does not work out for your business, please don't offer it. Or make our guests feel bad about it. Especially not about a 60 Euro bill for a sub-par meal. The burden is shared, we also pay an annual fee and possibly interest rates to use credit cards. And yes, despite everything we left a 10% tip for our waiter. However, since we were really exhausted at that point late in the evening, and did not want to wait indefinitely, we ended up paying in cash: Win tourist trap. For a relaxed and tasty dinner experience just avoid this place. Yep, they did pull a fast one on us. Apparently the old rule still applies: "when in Rome - or Italy in general - do as the Romans do. Or at least research and eat where the locals eat.

On our first night in Bardolino we were tired and hungry as we has just travelled all day (by plane…read moreand by train and ultimately by bus) to get there, and after many mishaps, we managed to arrive. We found this place and thought pizza sounded great, so we went for it. The server was really friendly, and like many tourist towns, he seem to speak every language in Europe. After starting with Italian and moving into German, he finally settled on English for us (although he tried a bit of French later as well). We both got the beef carpaccio with truffle and shaved parmesan (because truffle) and a pizza with a spicy sausage and blue cheese (that's each because we're crazy and order the same things). So the carpaccio was really delicious. Thinly sliced, melt in your mouth with plenty of truffles and cheese. The pizzas were also really amazing as the gorgonzola really went with the spicy sausage. We then opted to get a glass of grappa at the end (as you do), and they brought out the longest bottle known to man to pour into our tiny glasses. He accidentally poured way too much into my partner's glass, so I think we got more than we should have. And it turned out to be only 5 Euros a glass, so we got a great deal. It's definitely a bit touristy, but well worth the shenanigans to get a great pizza meal with some great service.
