BELLA VISTA I am…read morehappy to say that during my two week vacation in Italy to visit family and friends, most of the restaurants my son selected were up scale and enjoyable. One however called Bella Vista located in the lakeside town of Peschiera Del Garda failed the test of 5 Star restaurants. They failed to realize that good service will bring customers back for return visits. Once seated we placed our order and relaxed and waited for our server to bring our special salads. Unfortunately after a lengthy wait there was no salad or server. Instead our main course steaks were brought by yet another server who placed the plates in front of us and also disappeared before we could inquire about the two missing salads. My son went in search the two missing servers to no avail. As we finished our steaks, a third server hurriedly set one salad on the table with the expectation that we would split this salad between the two of us. At the cost of 13.50 Euros for each salad, I guess the establishment figured if we split the one salad but were charged for two, that would be a tidy profit on their special salad. My son again went in search of management who came to our table and justified the mistake by stating they had several cooks in the kitchen and one of them forgot to make the second salad. The condescending attitude of staff and management seems to indicate that proximity to the lake and atmosphere are more important than customer service. If you search reviews on Google you will find five star reviews but management seems to ignore the number of 1, 2, and 3 star reviews that seem to go unread as the complaints and criticisms made by customers go unresolved. We returned the following evening with reservations at a restaurant right across the street a slight which understood the importance of great customer service. A great location failed to provide a great dining experience. Beware that the pricy food does not live up to its expectations.

The service was attentive and generally friendly except for an issue with the wine. They asked if we'd like their insights on a wine and my Italian wife specified that we wanted a local light red (more specific details given). They recommended a Valpolicella Superiore which we ordered. However the bottle they chose had 15.5% alcohol and was just about the opposite of what we asked. Further it tasted off. The waiter kept saying look at the cork, as if that made the wine taste better. Eventually they agreed to change the wine to something much closer to what we requested but the scene they made put a damper on the evening. As for the food. This was also mixed. The ossobuco was very firm, have had this dish numerous times across Italy and this was the firmest and poorest prepared. The Maialino (braised pork) and applesauce was tender and quite good. Contori of asparagus and mixed grilled veggies were well prepared. Prices on the higher side.

It was quiet when we arrived at noon and then filled up quite a lot by the time we departed. Clearly, a restaurant for the locals. First course, a big pile of a pasta called "bigolini" which I've not seen before. It is like thick spaghetti with a rough surface. That is needed because the sauce on it was quite thick and another interesting taste - nettles. Definitely different. Second course, risotto made with a red wine reduction. Very flavorful and rich and the pasta was perfectly al dente. We'll definitely need to return to here for dinner! [Review 16980 overall - 185 in Italy - 496 of 2022.]

The restaurant is very cute (free WiFi) and homey feeling with an exposed brick interior and interesting decoration choices throughout the space. If you're so inclined there's also and outdoor patio area. Maybe we just ordered poor menu items but the food was underwhelming and not particularly standout. For our anti pasta course we went with the cured meat trio with polenta. The meats weren't particularly good and combined with the bland polenta it just wasn't a good combo. For our primi pasta course we had the bigoli in a horse (yes horse) bolognese sauce. Of our three dishes this was the best. For our main meat course with did horse cheeks braised in an Amarone wine sauce with polenta. I didn't like the polenta any better on our second dish and the cheek just didn't do it for me. I ended up leaving the bulk of the dish uneaten. All in all-maybe I just ordered poorly but I if I ever make it back to Verona this spot will be a pass for me.
