Always delicious, always friendly service. You can also sit right by the lake. A lovely place.

Whenever we're in Bardolino, which happens quite often, we always go to Café Italia. The seating is stunningly beautiful by the lake, and the staff are super friendly and accommodating. The XXL Spritzers are gigantic, and the food is phenomenal.

Popped in here to escape a thunderstorm and enjoyed a large glass of rose spritz. Service was on point and an abundance of snacks enjoyed

Nice restaurant with lake view. The dishes are good and plentiful. Prices are normal given the location of the place.

Tourist trap? No. But an expensive seat right on the lake.
Still, people line up in front of the entrance to the lakeside terrace. However, it's also possible to walk from the lakeside promenade to a free seat. What happens next is up to the guests to decide for themselves.
We, two clueless people from the lakeside promenade, were lucky and ended up sitting at a table with two understanding people waiting in line and had a great time.
The staff is less prepared for such encounters: Our request for separate bills, made when ordering rather than at the end, was rejected. So, we had to do a lot of wallet-pulling to get the right portions.
Beware of the "Eau de Spritz XXL":
XXL is primarily the amount of ice in the Spritz and the price: 16 euros! It tastes like perfumed water with flavor – not bad, but you hardly notice the advertised alcohol (in our case: jasmine liqueur and pomegranate liqueur). The aesthetic value of the extra-advertised drink decorations is also debatable.
If you want to get in the mood, you'd better treat yourself to a Spritz Classico for a reasonable €13.
The seven-piece bar snack selection served to us (4 people) was a conciliatory touch, with olives and capers.
If you're afraid of birds, you'd better avoid this spot by the lake. Sparrows often fly among the guests here. But for us, that's more of a reason to come than to leave. 😄

Not the cheapest of drinks on our travels through Italy €40 for 2 Aperol Spritz and 2 medium beers. But the spritz was the best and largest I’d had and came with a fruit skewer.. beer is beer!!! A nice selection of snacks and staff friendly. We sat inside for the sitcom after our bike ride and it was great seeing the bar staff at work… so many bottles of Prosecco opened in readiness for the Spritz, you name it, they spritz it!!

The lake view is, of course, great, but the service isn't so great. I also find the prices rather high.
