Perfect place to eat at the wine festival in Bardolino.
Very friendly service. The food was good, but many dishes didn't come with a side dish. Of course you could order these as well, but then the dish was already “sporty” in terms of price.

Nice ambience of the interiors.
Very friendly staff. We had a mixed salad and tagliatelle with salmon, super tasty and a large portion, highly recommended.

Highly recommended restaurant, yesterday we were a group of 51 people from Bologna. The service was perfect, the staff were well-trained and very kind. The fish-based lunch was all very good. Perfect location along the lake to enjoy a nice walk afterwards.
I highly recommend it.

We were very surprised when we came to this restaurant by chance. It was super tasty, starters, main courses and dessert were very tasty. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Would eat there again at any time

Cozy place with a warm and friendly atmosphere, even if the place was full and with a few more people the service was fast and the staff was calm and helpful, we will definitely return

I go to Italy again and again and I always come here to eat. I have eaten in Italy many times but I like to come here again and again to eat. The staff is super nice and friendly, the food is outstanding and the price is unbeatable
I often return to this place when I come to Bardolino but it is always a confirmation: excellent quality of food and impeccable service. Delicious mussels (I tried them Calabrian style this time and they are spectacular); I skipped the first course and made the tuna steak for the second course... very fresh and delicious.
If I really want to find a negative side of the 10/11 lunch I must say that we were placed in an internal room with little space to move... my chair was attached to the one behind me.

Let’s talk about Ristorante Pizzeria La Cantinetta—a charming spot that brings a hearty taste of Italy to life with just the right blend of authenticity and warmth.
The food here? It’s really good, edging close to great but not quite reaching the heights of culinary perfection. The pizzas arrive with that quintessential wood-fired flavor, a crispy-chewy crust, and a lovely balance of fresh toppings. The pasta is clearly homemade, capturing that fresh, tender quality that makes Italian pasta so addictive. They could be a bit bolder with some flavors, maybe a pinch more seasoning or spice here and there, but these dishes are undeniably comforting. You’re likely to leave satisfied, though perhaps not raving about a life-changing meal. That said, La Cantinetta is consistent, and sometimes, that’s more than enough.
The service here deserves a standing ovation. La Cantinetta has that rare gem of a staff that genuinely cares about your dining experience. From a warm welcome at the door to the attentive yet unobtrusive attention throughout the meal, it’s evident that the team is passionate about making every diner feel special. They know the menu inside and out, ready with thoughtful recommendations, and they’re quick to respond to requests without hovering. It’s a level of hospitality that feels effortless and polished—the kind that makes you want to come back again and again.
The ambiance at La Cantinetta strikes a delightful balance between cozy and lively. The rustic decor, with its warm tones and understated Italian touches, feels genuine and inviting. Soft lighting casts a warm glow, perfect for a relaxed evening out. It does get a bit bustling, especially on weekends, which lends it a charming energy but might not be ideal if you’re looking for a quiet escape. Still, the restaurant manages to keep things comfortable and warm without feeling cramped or chaotic.
Final Verdict
La Cantinetta may not be aiming for fine dining awards, but it hits the mark in delivering a warm, enjoyable Italian dining experience. With consistently good food, outstanding service, and a cozy atmosphere, this place is ideal for a casual night out or a celebratory dinner with friends and family. The combination of authentic dishes, attentive staff, and a lively setting makes it a gem worth revisiting.

Ho preso gli spaghetti allo scoglio e sono stati un ottima scelta. Tantissimo pesce e spaghetti cotti al punto giusto. Servizio impeccabile.
Ottima cena abbiamo preso per antipasto 2 tartare di tonno eccellenti, a seguire cozze buonissime e tagliolini all’’astice super buoni!!! Servizio veloce e organizzato anche grazie a Pasquale che ci servito con grande gentilezza e professionalità. Complimenti ci torneremo.
