Very good food. Very nice people. Very good prices.

This little restaurant is just off the beaten track. You'll notice that it's nearly lunchtime as there will be a throng of locals willing gathering outside, waiting for the doors to fly open. The locals know what a little gem this place is, with local specialties and a wide range of meat, fish, salad and even vegetarian food. Added to the fact that the food was both tasty and very good value!

It’s really good option! Italian food vegetarian options, next to the Garda lake in for a good price! And also people try you with courtesy and they smile! (this is not common in Italian tourist places)

This place is a delicious little cantina - so much so that I haven't got any pictures of food from there as we devour it straight away every time. Very budget friendly but very good,great variety of food and the staff is always smiling and happy to.help. Grazie!

This is the kind of places I love… simple modest unassuming with good quality, friendly staff and good value for money…hallelujah. Couldn’t recommend it enough. 10 euros for a primo, a secondo and two contorni. Cotoletta alla milanese was divine, so were the roast potatoes and the rice with zucca and cheese. They even let me try the two main courses together. It restores your faith in humanity after all the tourist traps which have no regard for the client and are only there to grab your money. Just had a horrendous meal in a Sri Lankan place in Verona which hopefully I will forget very soon.
