Dorada Lago In Monte isola

Restaurant with a lake view Good food Very friendly staff

As part of a group, I had lunch at this restaurant. The food was decent, but the staff was very, very busy given the influx of diners and therefore not very present. The most embarrassing thing was the arrival of the fries. The plate contained about fifteen, but they should have been enough for a table of seven... perhaps lunching on my own would have been different! If I were to return, I would opt for the mixed fried fish, which looked tempting at other tables!

Whenever I go to Montisola, for a few years now, we have lunch at Dorada Lago, right on the lakeshore. The food is good, well-cooked, and generous portions, making it a great value. The staff is incredibly friendly and makes you feel at home. They're also very welcoming to children; they were great with my granddaughters, too.

A day of pure relaxation along the lake, surrounded by nature, good food, and lots of fun 🌿🌊. We stopped at Dorada Lago in Monte Isola and let ourselves be pampered by the unique atmosphere: incredible views, a breeze coming from the water, nature all around, and a few friendly ducks stopping by to say hello 🦆💙. We started with the legendary Monte Isola salami, which alone is worth the trip 😍. Then we dived into a superb mixed fried fish dish from the sea and lake: crispy, plentiful, and simply perfect for sharing (even though we would have liked to keep it all for ourselves 😂🐟🍤). Finally, a tasty dessert was a must, making us end the lunch with a smile. 🍰 A place that combines simplicity, tradition, and a stunning location... perfect for those seeking authentic flavors and moments to share with loved ones 💙. If you happen to be in Monte Isola, we highly recommend it... because some experiences are unforgettable! 🌿🌅

Lake view restaurant, with the option of tables right by the water. Reservations are recommended, as it's always packed! Delicious food, guaranteed!

September 13, 2025. Nice place with a lake view. I ordered typical lake fish dishes, some inviting mixed platters of cold cuts and fish. I recommend it for lunch or dinner if you're in Monte Isola.

The most important thing is on the lakeside

Not a great lunch, although that's partly justified by the fact that we were a group of 50. The atmosphere is dated, overlooking the lake (with small tables for lunch, which is the restaurant's plus), but the food quality was just adequate, and the service was quite prompt (though some of the staff, with their stained white shirts, were unsightly). I repeat, perhaps the problem was the size of our group, but we had reservations, so the management leaves me perplexed, especially when compared to various other restaurants.

There were six of us without a reservation on the day of the Holy Cross. We asked and everything was booked, but the owner, a very kind man, moved a couple of tables and seated us. Excellent pizzas, impeccable service, and given the rush (we had a return ferry booked), they served us on time. We asked for the island taxi service and they immediately gave us the number and name. We'll definitely be back because it's worth it, and I'd love to try one of the wonderful fish platters they served.

Ci siamo fermati per una pizza e francamente mi aspettavo la solita pizza bassa e secca e invece ho trovato un ottimo prodotto, impasto molto buono e soffice, oltretutto ho preso il doppio impasto che ha soddisfatto l’appetito che avevo. Bravi!
