August 5, 2025. Two years have passed and I've tried again. The wait is always quite long. The menu is confusing online: instead of separating first and second courses, meat and seafood, there's a long list of first and second courses, and first and second courses, both meat and seafood. Meh. The charcuterie board is nothing special. Piadas should be ordered separately. Both the pumpkin cappellacci with ragù and the tagliatelle with ragù are good, however. The coffee is terrible, as I got the order and the table wrong. Prices are fair. Friendly staff. I don't know if I'll go back.
August 23, last update, star ratings down.
I brought my brother-in-law and my niece this evening because I thought I'd make a good impression: it was a total disappointment. The food is good, but the service ruins it all.
My wife and I ordered pumpkin cappellacci with ragù. Tortellini in broth arrived. They sent them back, and tortellini with ragù arrived. They sent them back again, and finally the cappellacci with ragù arrived. All of this in an hour and a half. In the meantime, my son had eaten his pizza an hour earlier, my niece her strozzapreti (a full-sized portion), and my brother-in-law had his strozzapreti with wild boar (a half-sized portion, but we didn't want to argue about that). As for dessert, we got through it in about thirty minutes, from ordering to eating.
Now, I understand having trouble with orders; it can happen (oh my God, once, not twice in a row!), but it's not right that every time a dish is brought to the table, the waiter wanders around with a blank look, trying to figure out which table it's for. And above all, if I ask for extra piada because the order was wrong, he doesn't act all grand, laughing, and saying the bag has a hole in it: thank goodness I didn't raise my voice.
Last night of vacation ruined. Too bad, the first time was perfect!
P.S.: This isn't a purely hindsight review. I notified the cashier about the service when paying.
August 17. We arrived at 2:00 PM and were greeted very kindly. We hadn't been here for 20 years, after various terrible management changes and closures. Very clean and well-kept, they have mosquito repellent that provides good protection at least during the day; we'll see tomorrow evening. We ate well (the mussels Taranto-style were excellent; they didn't taste stale, as I've often found at restaurants in recent years), and the waiters were attentive. I don't know if it was because it was late and therefore there weren't many customers... We'll see tomorrow evening if we can reach 5 stars: in any case, the price is worth the food. For now, I can only recommend it.
August 18. We returned in the evening and can confirm the excellent quality of the food: sweet and fragrant prosciutto, accompanied by delicious piada and homemade bread. I had spaghetti alla chitarra with clams, which confirmed the freshness of the mussels from the day before. My wife and father-in-law were VERY pleased with the cappellacci with ragù, where the craftsmanship was evident (the ragù was very good), and my son's pizza was also good. The crema catalana was delicious, so much so that my wife, after trying mine, ordered it too.
One small negative (just a small one, I must say) concerns the service: slow and a bit confusing. I don't know if it was because the waiters were new or the table numbering had been changed, but they kept going around the tables asking whose dishes belonged to them or looking at the table number, written on a pretty bottle in the centerpiece. My advice: put a more visible sign to make it easier for the staff. Another issue is that there's only one waiter taking orders: despite his professionalism and politeness (my compliments! Please give them to him!), one person struggles to keep up with all the tables; he could use a hand. Lastly, perhaps the kitchen could speed up the food delivery process (the bar portion is very fast), because 40 minutes for cold cuts and dips is a lot. If you improve this, you'll truly deserve a 5-star rating.
Thanks anyway, and go try it! It's worth it because it's hard to find restaurants like this in the area.

We spontaneously visited this restaurant for lunch. The garden is beautiful and the service was fantastic, very attentive and kind to our children.
We had tagliata di manzo, tuna steak, fries, pork cheek, and a mixed grill. Much of the food was delicious, but the tuna steak was overcooked and lacked enough dressing, making it a bit dry. Everything else was delicious, and the desserts (mascarpone, tiramisu) were wonderful.
But above all, the staff and the setting made this a fantastic place for lunch!

The location is beautiful, but the wait between courses makes you lose your appetite, and the mosquitoes make it even worse, making you run away before the meal is finished.
Too bad, we had high expectations.

Exceptional meal in an equally magnificent location! Despite the mosquitoes, we had a wonderful time as a couple for our 3-month anniversary. 💚✨🇮🇪☀️

Posto incantevole, così come l’accoglienza, la disponibilità e l’umanità che, unite all’ottimo cibo, hanno reso quella giornata di novembre, indimenticabile.
Grazie davvero a tutti voi e un pensiero gentile alla vostra mamma.
Libro favoloso…

Cena di coppia, il locale abbastanza pieno ma servizio veloce. Abbiamo scelto il menù di pesce alla carta che non disponeva di una grande offerta perché erano pochi piatti di pesce, forse dovevamo buttarci di più sulla carne e la pizza dove la scelta era vasta. Nel complesso il cibo era buono, nulla di wow però buono. Il servizio sì, è stato veloce nonostante ci fosse abbastanza clientela di cui un compleanno, però verso la fine (al momento del dolce e caffè) ci hanno un po’ abbandonato ma tutto si è risolto. I prezzi sono molto onesti e il personale molto carino. Riproveremo magari in estate per una pizza in una bella location in mezzo alla natura e al lago. Grazie!
