Il Giardino delle Esperidi In Bardolino

Just left, had dinner alone. I entered out of curiosity, looking for something simple, and as soon as I entered I realized that fate had reserved something more sublime for me. Girl in the room (sorry I don't know your name!) elegant and welcoming. The paper served by the glass is excellent. The "Terra" tasting menu is delicate and refined, but again compliments to the girl. And to all the Hesperides, both front and back. The library is excellent.

Great service and excellent cuisine 👍🏻

Chaos outside - culinary oasis inside 🏝️ This restaurant was recommended to us and we decided to have lunch. Nothing works here without research. The ladies of the house decide who is allowed to enter this Lake Garda oasis. And that's absolutely understandable given the amount of tourists on the doorstep. So we were lucky and were able to enjoy this exclusive culinary delight. There were various menus to choose from. We chose Aqua and Terra consisting of four courses. I won't go into the quality and arrangement on the plate here because the craftsmanship absolutely speaks for itself. It was all punk. delicious and perfectly portioned. The service was correspondingly attentive and very accommodating. It took us about 2 hours for 4 courses. The varied wine list leaves nothing to be desired, even for discerning wine connoisseurs. Even the decaf espresso was simply awesome. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed every bite. Absolutely good value for money given this quality. Many thanks to the strong and competent women who run this restaurant with love and attention to detail. You are fantastic 🤩

When food is poetry and the flavors of the ingredients are not overpowered but respected in a waltz of flavours. Thank you!

Refined food, intimate venue, courteous and attentive staff. Food with refined combinations and good wine labels. I recommend it more for couples than for large groups

Very nice restaurant in the center of Bardolino with outdoor seating too. The staff are very friendly, attentive, fast and smiling. Well-prepared dishes with interesting contrasts. The desserts are also excellent! Good wine list! Definitely worth a stop!

One of the best restaurants in Bardolino. Creative and delicious food. Courteous and warm service. Absolute recommendation!

Bardolino is splendid but very touristy, especially in season and it is difficult to find a truly special restaurant. Difficult, but not impossible given that there is one that is worth ten; it is the Garden of the Hesperides. In fact, both the cuisine and the wine list are of a very high standard, the welcome is warm and it was a great pleasure to talk about wine and catering with Susy, sommelier and restaurant manager, who does this job with enormous passion and competence. Together with her in the living room Mary and Anna in the kitchen, an all-female trio in perfect harmony. The name of the place is inspired by a mythological garden of the goddess Hera guarded by the Hesperides nymphs, where there was a golden apple tree protected by a dragon. Collecting them was one of Hercules' 12 labors but don't worry, no dragons here and the nymphs will accompany you on a superlative food and wine experience. We advise you to do the tasting itineraries; Two are offered, one on land and one on the lake and we obviously tried them both! What we ate: Ricotta and borage ravioli with duck breast carpaccio, spices and ginger Savory cheesecake with taralli, marinated vegetables and peanuts Lake fish fritters, green olives, fennel and gazpacho Egg spaghetti with lake fish, dark greens and lemon zest Roasted pork belly with rhubarb and colored ribs Lake fish fillet with panzanella and vegetables As for wine, we were directed towards a splendid Falanghina dei Campi Flegrei Vigna del Pino di Agnanum, a company owned by Raffaele Moccia, a heroic producer who works on unstable terraces built on volcanic hills. A phenomenal wine, which continually evolves while maintaining a crazy balance. Full marks!
