Al Cardellino In Bardolino

A historic family-run restaurant located in a hamlet of Bardolino. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the homemade pastries and desserts superb, and their Gewürztraminer excellent. Overall, a top-notch culinary experience.

Had a wonderful evening. Cozy atmosphere and good service. The food quality is a real 10! Fantastic steak, fantastic wines. Highly recommended.

This restaurant has actually been my absolute favorite for years, and I'm a regular. I was all the more disappointed on our last visit that the service didn't live up to the usual high standards. There was apparently a new waiter who seemed neither friendly nor had internalized the service philosophy. He never smiled, seemed rushed, and criticized us in an inappropriate tone. I found it particularly odd that he tried to "persuade" us to choose a whole bottle when ordering wine, claiming it would be cheaper for us. Overall, it should be mentioned that it was very busy that evening, and all the waiters seemed relatively stressed. Unfortunately, it seems as if the restaurant is only interested in maximizing profit. We sat outside, where the music was unfortunately so loud that it was difficult to have a normal conversation. The food, however, was, as always, excellent – the kitchen once again proved why we value this restaurant so much. I sincerely hope the team takes this feedback to heart so that the service can return to the quality I have loved so much for years.

Very good food with special dishes..

A truly beautiful location, delicious pasta dishes in the charming garden. I'd love to try them all. So delicious! Very friendly, enthusiastic service, too. I'll definitely be back, highly recommended!

Sitting beneath ancient olive trees, their branches entwined with countless fairy lights, you're like you're in a small Italian fairytale world. The food was simply outstanding: the homemade gnocchi with ragu – fluffy, tender, and so aromatic that I savored every bite – without a doubt the best gnocchi I've ever had. The meat was of top-quality, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. The service was warm, attentive, and simply perfect all around. A place where you don't just come to eat, but to experience a piece of Italian joie de vivre.

We didn't use the rooms, but we ate in the restaurant. It's not cheap, but it's worth every cent/euro. The service is excellent—I don't know when I last enjoyed such service. The food is amazing! No matter what we ate, it was a culinary delight.

It was a special experience. Talk to the waiter, don't bother looking at the menu. Anything is possible, and it's delicious.

Venuto a cena con amici per la prima volta, sono rimasto colpito dalla gentilezza dei camerieri tutti .. mangiato benissimo e ottima carta dei vini.. da ricordare e ritornare. Bravi

Un ristorante in cui sono andato più volte e nel quale tornerò molto volentieri. Questa volta mi sono fermato anche a dormire nelle stanze al piano superiore. Si tratta di un ottimo ristorante in cui la carne la fa da regina. Secondi di carne ben serviti e presentati. Consiglio la costatona ma anche le entrate e i primi piatti sono buonissimi. La carta dei vini è eccezionale, molto ben fornita. Il personale è molto disponibile e accogliente. La cantina dei vini è uno spettacolo!!!
