La Barcaccia In Peschiera del garda

08/05/2025: When the chef makes local proposals, looks at what is close, collects tradition and does not want his field of action to go beyond what his eyes see at that moment, the kitchen takes on the value of testimony and offers an enviable reality. At Al vecchio forno, with a beautiful interior room, it is enjoyed because there is truth on the plate and it offers a choice of products that speak of what is close. Both on the plate and in the glasses. It is a growing cuisine that if it left behind some fashionable gestures it could consolidate its dishes more strongly. But what has been proven is remarkable. From the delicate homemade butter to her warm breads, we feel the love for the work and the attention that the owner exudes. Delicious lake fish tartare. The pastas, whether the bigoli with lake sardine, or the Lucio one, are magnificent. The proven meats, lamb and pork tenderloin, were tasty but should offer a greater search for the result to be more surprising and brilliant. Beautiful and careful glasses. Very delicate atmosphere and great music that accompanies the room, creating a friendly atmosphere. Surprisingly correct prices. Attentive service and a wine list with extensive local coverage, which enhances the experience. It deserves a visit, and to make this effort more recognized. Absolutely recommended. It's worth the trip.
