Hosteria Croce d'Oro In Desenzano del garda

Perfect atmosphere, delicious wine, and peaceful setting. Go without hesitation!

Beautiful place, delicious food.

I've been to this traditional, homey restaurant over a year ago, and I returned on Sunday to try the dishes again. There were two of us and we were fortunately seated right away. The owner was very kind and available to answer any questions. We shared a platter of cured meats, and I can assure you it was plentiful and, above all, delicious. For our first course, we chose the pappardelle with wild boar and mushrooms and the tagliatelle with shrimp and zucchini. FABULOUS. Kudos to everyone, from the service to the quality of the products and the reasonable price. Highly recommended.

I honestly don't have the words to describe how good this experience was. We had the cinghiale (wild boar) pate starter on toasted bread and I was almost able to distract my wife by saying I saw a cat to steal her portion. The wild boar pasta she had was very good, but the gnocchi with truffles was life changing. The people who work here are super nice and we had a great time chatting with our server and getting to know her. Well worth the trek uphill from the waterfront, so happy we found this place!

Great authentic food, good attentive service, nice location. We will be back!

One of the best restaurants I have been in Italy. The food was delicious!!

Very delicious and good! Had deer and boar. Super delicious. Staff (including Hadi) were very nice and kind as well!

I visited this restaurant on Easter Sunday with fairly high expectations, given the numerous positive reviews I'd heard. Unfortunately, however, the experience didn't live up to expectations. We were offered several menus to choose from over the phone, but once we arrived, we were faced with a very limited selection, with only a couple of dishes available. This was already a negative point, especially since it didn't reflect what was communicated during the reservation process. As for the food, the pasta was good and well-prepared, no complaints there. However, the wild boar steak was a real disappointment: the meat was so tough it was practically inedible, so much so that I had to return it entirely. Overall, a rather disappointing experience, especially considering the expectations raised by the positive reviews. I hope it was just a bad day.

Great local restaurant with homemade dishes and good wine. It's best to reserve in advance.

Beautiful restaurant, attentive food and service, excellent wine selection. The fresh pasta is worth a visit.
