Dea In Castel di tora

For those like me who prefer substance over appearance, this is the best. The fantastic owner speaks to you as if she's known you forever, abundant and homemade dishes at more than fair prices... In my opinion, it is absolutely recommended for kindness and quality/price ratio.

The Dea restaurant is located in a small square with a magnificent Triton Fountain, offering a splendid view of the lake. The Dea Bar and Restaurant is right there, with its few tables and exceptional hospitality. As soon as you arrive, Viola welcomes you and presents the menu in a simple yet authentic way. She arrives from the kitchen with a wooden table topped with other gozzi and ravioli made by the exceptional hands of Luigi, her life partner. The menu includes three starters, but they are three generous portions, each served with mutton sauce, mushroom sauce, and a simple sauce. The second course is a meat dish, well-cooked on the outside and tender on the inside, and beautifully cooked, accompanied by potatoes and chicory. Excellent. To finish, a tart, a wine donut, and coffee. Everything was delicious. We were happy to stay at their restaurant because we immediately struck up a friendly atmosphere with her and the other guests. A truly pleasant day and a truly delicious lunch. I recommend you stop at this restaurant where you can breathe in the warmth and friendliness as well as the food with truly authentic flavours 👍

The owner was very nice, homemade pasta was okay, except for the gnocchi, which is definitely to be avoided... porcini mushroom sauce was very pureed... but decent... avoid the sauce... made with tomato puree... opened and put in the ravioli and gnocchi... zero difference between sheep sauce and normal sauce... oh my lady... she thought she was being clever... exactly the same sauce... But... impeccable service, nice and kind... very good main course, both chicken and lamb roast... ok, offal... cleanliness a little to be desired .. decent prices... I think I won't rely on reviews anymore because the more I go, the more I realize that people don't cook anymore... so they also eat... but... I don't think there are people who understand anything about real food...

Excellent experience. Home-style cooking where they show you the dishes before bringing them to you, like the entrees. They're a couple, and the husband cooks. A few dishes, but very good. The hostess is extremely nice. We'll definitely be back.

A preface to help understand some (few) negative reviews I've read: the restaurant owner doesn't observe any formality and welcomes you in a very informal manner, perhaps initially too "direct" (especially from the perspective of those who don't know her), but with an underlying kindness and thoughtfulness in recommending the best dishes of the day. That said, we arrived late and without a reservation, on a day before a holiday (when other restaurants would have said "the kitchen is closed"), but they made us two generous dishes with two types of meat (chicken and lamb) and two side dishes (chicory and potatoes). We ate very well and spent very little, so we were truly satisfied. A beautiful location in the center of town, in the summer on a quaint little square with a fountain and a wonderful lake view.

Everything was homemade and extremely good, and the welcome was like being at grandma's house. We left rolling.

Very family-friendly atmosphere. Delicious food. I recommend the full fixed-price menu, including drinks and coffee. Open Saturdays and Sundays only, seating only about 40!

A small trattoria where you can eat very well. Reservations are required.

Highly recommended! One of those places that deserves recognition for its value. The lady who served us made us feel at home, the food was homemade, the location was very convenient, and even though it was a Sunday, they found us a table despite the many reservations. I wish you all the best, and you'll have to try it yourself. :)

We felt right at home. The restaurant offers a €30 fixed menu with three starters and a main course, all delicious. Highly recommended!
