Call ahead for a reservation and they might give you a table on the outer edge of the patio with a unspoiled view. Big cantilevered umbrellas hang over the tables and there is always a breeze. The waiters and menu are all good with the "English" so no worries there. My boyfriend and I had a first and second course each and shared a bottle of wine and a dessert. Our bill was about 75 Euros and it took two hours for lunch with every table full. all of the beautiful European people lingering and drinking and talking loudly. These things should be considered when planning to eat there but may not always be the case since we were there for Christo's Floating Piers. Our Meal was a shrimp and fennel salad with a citrus dressing, a cold barley salad, a light pork dish and the local specialty, which is a lake sardine with polenta. I sampled several area restaurants version of the sardine/polenta dish but I think this place does it best of all. The wine list is decent range of local wineries and some other regions with a good range of medium priced bottles at 15 euro.

There is a fancy restaurant at the back, but I preferred eating in the much cozier front albergo that is frequented by the locals. This is maybe not the place for the faint hearted: my baccala on day 2 was a bit on the heavy side but exactly what you would want after a hefty walk. I think the pictures speak for themselves. I paid each night about 32 EUR for starter, main course, 2 glasses of wine and water.

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.
