Hosteria Croce d'Oro In Desenzano del garda

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.

An osteria we discovered by chance, but it really struck us. Amazing food, every dish homemade. Extremely friendly staff. A typical and welcoming location! Recommended.

Amazing Pasta made in house. Fantastic Tiramisu. Also I see they have a kids menu.

We dined at Hosteria Croce d'Oro in Desenzano del Garda with six of us and had a wonderful time. We ordered a variety of first and second courses, all meat-based. The venison stew and braised beef were truly excellent, very flavorful and well-cooked. You can taste the quality of the cuisine and the attention to tradition. We accompanied our dinner with wine, water, and dessert at the end. The total bill was around €200 for six of us, so it was a truly good value for what we ate. A special mention also goes to the wait staff: knowledgeable, attentive, and very friendly throughout the evening. If you're looking for a trattoria where you can eat well in Desenzano del Garda, Hosteria Croce d'Oro is definitely an excellent choice. We'll gladly return.

We had a really lovely evening at the restaurant. It was quite quiet, the staff spoke good English, which helped us to practice our limited Italian. Our Labrador was also welcome, and we were allowed to choose our own table. The pasta was absolutely delicious, the wine was a perfect match, and the tiramisu was the perfect finishing touch. In my opinion, the price was reasonable for the quality and service. We'll definitely be back.

The price/performance ratio was excellent. Homemade pasta, very tasty meat dishes, and friendly service, plus good wine. I highly recommend it!

Good food and very kind people but I paid too much for dishes that didn't satisfy me personally.
