Dopolavoro 1940 In Manerbio

11/05/2025: The restaurant is located in a lovely spot, and the food — especially the steak — was truly delicious. The ingredients were fresh, the preparation was excellent, and overall, the kitchen delivered a fantastic dining experience. Unfortunately, the service didn’t match the quality of the food. When I asked the waiter to recommend a white wine to pair with meat, he looked at me as if I’d committed some kind of culinary crime and dismissed the idea outright, insisting on a red without further discussion. Later, when I asked for a wine pairing with dessert, I was once again met with a condescending attitude and told I should have grappa or a gin and tonic instead. To top it off, we were served two glasses of wine with no clear explanation or choices offered — just handed to us — and only later discovered they totaled €60. In short: excellent food and location, but the attitude of the service staff really detracted from the experience. Hospitality should never come with a side of arrogance.

10/05/2025: Beautiful restaurant within a complex that includes a hotel, spa, swimming pool and bistro, all within a wonderful park on the shores of the lake. The hotel is spread over several rooms and an outdoor space. The menu is made up of five six unpleasant 5-6 first courses and 5 6 second courses, side dishes and desserts. we were greeted by 1 welcome starter. I would like to point out the selection of cheeses which is truly fantastic, accompanied with jams and preserves and the roast and truffle confondo risotto was magnificent, the hot apple pie was also excellent. I would like to point out that the car park is not easily visible because it is located on the opposite side of the road from the restaurant. But once you have identified it, it is comfortable and large. the restaurant enjoys a beautiful view if you are lucky enough like us to have lunch or dinner in the outside part. We had a great time, we will be back and I recommend it, it's worth the expense
