Casa Leali In Puegnago sul garda

Brothers Andrea and Marco are passionate about the region and its cuisine. They capture its flavors while preserving the essence of their dishes and giving each dish a fresh and innovative interpretation. Superb attention to detail is paid to the preparation of each dish. The wine tastings carefully follow and enhance the culinary journey. The service is impeccable, and they're always available to answer any questions you may have about the region's flavors and history. An experience worth repeating.

We chose Casa Leali both because we were captivated by the reviews that spoke of a youthful and innovative atmosphere, yet rooted in the local area, and by the review on the Michelin Guide website that praised the local ingredients. What more can we say? We were completely satisfied; we appreciated every single dish that showcased the local area and its products. The ingredients were excellent, and above all, we greatly appreciated the opportunity to savor and experience the unique flavors and tastes without being overwhelmed. Special mention goes to the dining room staff for their kindness and professionalism. The choice to have the dessert prepared directly by the chef was truly appreciated. Excellent wine list and selection. Excellent all-round talent.

When "CASA LEALI" doesn't feel like home... We went there for lunch and arrived seven minutes early. They asked us to wait at the entrance (not a bad thing, except for the clearly annoyed tone of voice when I wandered near the dining room). Once the reservation was verified in our name, we waited the seven minutes in question without being seated at a table. I found it an unpleasant wait, just as it was unpleasant to wait about 20-25 minutes after ordering the wine. The young woman in the dining room is the only one who tries to convey a pleasant feeling, accompanying the service with a smile, which never came from the owner. As for the cuisine, you can definitely see the hours of preparation and care put into it. The welcome and the first two courses of the "classic" tasting menu were exciting, but then my enthusiasm waned as I tasted the other courses. The bread ravioli have this acidic note that's further accentuated by the pickled Parmesan, and I didn't find the softness of a dish their grandmother used to make. The trout...it didn't mean anything to me! The rabbit shoulder was beautifully presented, then glazed at the table with a tomato sauce I would have happily avoided. The carrot cake with orange and ginger juice tasted good, but I didn't understand the point of wetting the cake with the juice and taking away the pleasant sensation of chewing. The leftover bread sounds redundant when making: Bread ice cream Bread crepes with jam Bread roche Bread pudding (Grandma's bread ravioli) OK, BUT IT'S TOO MUCH!

Incredible experience from start to finish. The staff made us feel very welcomed and comfortable, especially since we are not from the area and not familiar with fine dining. The food tasted and looked amazing. We appreciated the careful description of each dish and the local inspiration that went into their creation. Truly a special place.

Casa Leali was an unforgettable experience for us. Even though I'm a chef, and therefore know this world well, I had never tried a Michelin-starred restaurant before, and I was proud to choose this one for my first course. A taste journey full of unique flavors and combinations. Bold, intense flavors, masked by a "simple" and effective appearance. A triumph of primarily local (and non-local) products: oil, bread, lemon, which left their mark on every dish. The pronounced flavor, acidity, and "fatness" on the palate left us with pleasant sensations. The tasting we chose (the original tasting) truly thrilled us. The service was impeccable and unobtrusive. The young woman who primarily served us (and whose name we regret not remembering) conveyed all her passion and humanity. We will return to try the other dishes because it was truly worth it.

Upon arriving at Casa Leali, you're greeted by the staff, and after sitting at your table, the experience begins: a vast selection of wines, expertly chosen by Marco and served in high-end Riedel glasses. Carefully crafted dishes with contrasting and original flavors satisfy even the most discerning diners. From the entree to the dessert, everything was fantastic. The price was in line with the experience. Compliments to the Leali Brothers and the entire staff.

We were at Casa Leali last night. About a 2.5-hour round trip, but it was well worth it: All the dishes on the tasting menu were excellent, with a special mention for the trout and its accompaniment. Every dish was a must-have... The wine pairings were spot-on. The dessert was light and original. The dish descriptions were thorough, and finally, a place where you can hear the person sitting across from you and even the background music. It was our first time, and we'll be back.

We recently visited Casa Leali and want to congratulate Marco and Andrea on their work. The service was attentive and impeccable, with a culinary experience well worth trying for its appreciation of the local area and beyond. The location is exquisite and the atmosphere is special. Excellent selection of wines, and a special mention for the BBQ oyster, which we chose to add to the menu. Finally, we were delighted to chat with Marco and Andrea. Congratulations, we'll be back soon!

A must-see if you're in the Lake Garda area. Top-notch cuisine, impeccable service, and the best dish I've had in 2025. They've grown a lot in recent years. I'd love to see a non-alcoholic pairing in their menu soon. Otherwise, they're the best.

Dinner here was magnificent. The staff was very kind and attentive to our every need. We opted for an original tasting menu with a very interesting wine pairing.
