La Cascina dei Gelsi In Gardone val trompia

05/08/2025: Excellent food, super attentive to food intolerances. There was even a lactose-free dessert! Not all the photos are of lactose-free dishes. I fell in love with the shrimp and avocado salad.

30/07/2025: I had lunch alone at this restaurant, and overall, the experience was good: the ambiance was elegant and the dishes were well-presented. However, there was one incident that left me a little disappointed. After my first course, I asked for olive oil, but the waiter (who I believe was also the owner) refused to bring it, saying that "the dish is fine as it is." I found this response rude and restrictive, given that everyone should be free to enjoy a dish as they prefer. For my second course, however, I made the same request to a waitress, who kindly brought me the oil without any problems. So: 2 stars for the owner's attitude, but 3 stars overall because the food is good and the staff (aside from that incident) was friendly. I could even recommend it, but with this small reservation.
