Al Marinaio In Malcesine

Excellent paella!! I recommend it

We are loyal customers, every time we come it is always a positive discovery and never a disappointment. Congratulations. ☀️ Patrizia and Daniele

Good value for money on drinks. Very friendly service, even though the owner was on vacation and being replaced by her son. We first visited in 2024. The service was very incompetent. The appetizer and main course arrived simultaneously. The Caprese salad with dried spices/herbs was completely over-seasoned and not recommended. The fried trout was okay, but the fries were too expensive. We were very disappointed and probably won't be back. We visited again in 2026. The food was still not of a particularly high standard. The paella was very dense and ultimately too expensive due to the large amount of rice and the lack of other ingredients.

It really feels like a traditional restaurant... it's worth it for everything, from the food to the atmosphere, very friendly. The prices are more than fair for being in the center of Garda, I'll be back, the Valencian paella is TOP! The sangria is also worth it 🤩

If you want to feel good and eat good paella, this is the right place. You'll feel right at home. Manuel and his mother are exceptional. Highly recommended.

For years, I've been returning to Casa Fernandez in Garda with pleasure... and every time it feels like home. This time, I had a spectacular paella: rich, flavorful, and prepared with such care that you can taste it from the first bite. A wonderful place, full of atmosphere, where time seems to slow down amidst good food, smiles, and the aroma of Spanish cuisine on Lake Garda. I've been coming here for many years, and it continues to be one of those special places. Plus, Casa Fernandez has been a family tradition for 50 years! My mother and father (who sadly passed away) met in Germany, and then my mother bought the first restaurant in Garda. Today, the restaurant is run by mother, son, and daughter, and after all these years, it continues to be a place that never disappoints. If you're passing through Garda, stop here... it's definitely worth it!

We had lunch, we were on a trip, I passed by the restaurant when I asked the chef if there would be paella for lunch... my eye fell on the preparation of the paella... we stopped... compliments to the chef... delicious... I have rarely tasted it like this... excellent sangria, be careful when you get up the world stops even if you feel a little dizzy....

Fantastic experience! Excellent food with attention to detail, authentic flavors, and generous portions. Excellent service, friendly and attentive staff. The atmosphere is welcoming and pleasant. A place we'll happily return to, highly recommended!

We went to a restaurant today. It was really delicious. All I can say is "Awesome!"

It's a typical little place, a little dated, very kind staff, excellent paella.
