This is the kind of restaurant which you only find by recommendation of exacting food loving locals. We were lucky enough to meet such a person on our trip to Verona and a tour of the Allegrini winery. No review of Dalla Rosa Alda would be complete without a short descirption of the village San Giorgio. A narrow and winding road brings you to the top of a mountain. (hill?) As far as I could tell the town has a deli, a cafe, a church, perhaps a hotel or two, and this fine restaurant. But, most importantly, breathtaking views of Lake Garda and the Valpolicella region wineries. Here's a brief rundown of the food sampled: Pasta e fagioli soup - I had a bad "bean" experience as a child, so my appreciation for the tender morsels has been slow to recover as an adult. Further experiences with poorly prepared versions of pasta e fagioli in the States hasn't helped. If I was going to learn to love this traditional Italian soup, then now was the time. Here, the soup was perfectly seasoned with firm bites of pasta throughout. Still more bean than pasta for my taste, but the excellence in preparation showed through. My wife loved it. Risotto - As is common in the Verona area, no restaurant will prepare Risotto for you unless you are willing to wait 20+ minutes and order more than 2 plates. This was our last night and we couldn't wait any longer to try it, despite our usual aversion to ordering the same dish. We were rewarded with some of the best risotto I have ever had. Slow cooked beef and polenta - Hugely rich in flavor cut with your fork beef with a side of oh so sticky creamy polenta. Lamb chops - Medium rare in the center, lightly seasoned, perfectly charred bone. Like little meat lollipops. So that's it. A hidden gem, revealed. I'm mostly writing this review for selfish reasons in case I lose the business card. But, perhaps some fellow yelpers will appreciate the goodness that is Dalla Rosa Alda....

We enjoyed a typical Italian meal (i.e. 2+ hours) during a long weekend in Brenzone sul Garda, one of many picturesque towns on the lake, just a few minutes up the road from Umberto's. We started with the Gran Frito Misto. Even though it was listed in the menu as a secondi, our waiter humored us and let us have it as an antipasti. The assortment of fried seafood and veggies was delish! I loved the calamari and shrimp. Even the sardines weren't bad! After that, we moved on to antipasti and secondi. My sister and I ordered the lasagne because it's a minimum 2 person dish. My hubby ordered the steak because... well... men like red meat? Y'all. I need to wax poetic about this lasagna for a minute. It was super creamy, bubbly and hot. Layers and layers of fresh noodles with a savory meat ragu sauce on top and prosciutto cotto and mushrooms sprinkled throughout. All served in a GIANT cauldron, easily enough for four people even though it was billed as a two person dish. The steak was good, too. And, we also enjoyed the sautéed potatoes. But seriously. Get. The. Lasagna. If you are still reading at this point (why aren't you on your way to Lake Garda for the lasagna?!), I suppose my last anecdote is that the house red wine was delicious.

The place is family owned and run according to the best Italian tradition for trattoria. Super friendly and smiling people all over giving you any advice about the super delicious traditional food you are going to order. Starter with prosciutto, culatello, salame and pancetta is a must. Deliciousness for your taste buds and wow, how good was that piece of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese..... wooooooo!!! My first main dish was Tortelli di Zucca (pumpkin kind of ravioli) served with a very local soffritto sauce. Woooooooooooooooo!!! The capelletti were also super good and really like my mother's.... Yesssss!!! I stopped here but the second dishes were all super ones. Ok, nothing dietary or vegetarian, but this is all about super traditional tastes and super comforting northern Italian food. Like being on a Christmas banquet :) Local Lambrusco red wine is the one to drink. Nothing else. Rustic but so fitting the taste. I could not refrain from tasting the dessert and I went for Zuppa Inglese, can.t translate, but if you never got it..... you definitely miss something delicious. Espresso of course and yes, grab the bottle of Nocino to sip this Amaro while you chit chat and end this spectacular dining experience. So, tradition with real care to great tastes enhanced from "you are guest at my home" type of welcoming atmosphere. Not expensive. Book in advance as the place is small and can get crowded. Ohh, I did not mention, all over the walls pictures and posters from the cult Italian movies I mentioned earlier. They are proud of them, and so it should be :)
