La Corte Antica In Manerba del garda

The food quality is good, but unfortunately, the prices for the tasting menu increased by 44% from €45 to €65 between 2020 and 2025, while the portions became smaller and less elaborate – a real shame. Instead of a cover charge, a 10% service charge was added without asking. I find that outrageous. We'll definitely be back.

Both the food and the service were excellent! They adapted the tasting menu for us, as my girlfriend doesn't like fish, and prepared beef steak and vegetarian tortellini as an alternative. The steak was the best we've ever eaten! It was incredible what they conjured up. The highlight of our short Lake Garda vacation.

A very pleasant surprise! A top-notch restaurant with truly excellent service. Thank you.

A journey through flavours accompanied by discreet but always attentive service... It was a real pleasure

Delicious and special food. The waiter was super nice

Definitely worth recommending! It's certainly a bit pricey, but the overall package is so incredibly harmonious; for us, it was the perfect evening!

If you look for an elegant romantic and classy dining, it’s the place! Great service, very pleasant and polite. Delicious food, good quality, nicely served and decorated.

The creative menu and the Michelin star awards we've received in recent years piqued our interest... A very inviting atmosphere and attentive service... we were initially the only guests. We ordered three and four courses from the menu. The chef's creativity and the presentation of the dishes are truly top-notch. In our opinion, the flavor lacked a bit of flair here and there... however, the pasta with sardines, capers, and pine nuts was amazing. The portions were very small! The plates were cold and not warmed up enough, or not at all - so everything got cold very quickly. It was also a shame that the somewhat overzealous service always wanted to take away the plate while my wife was still eating... the next course was probably already waiting in the kitchen. This was not commensurate with the quality and inappropriate. We had almost no breaks between courses. What surprised us was the "servizio" on the bill, which was neither announced nor legible on the menu. It amounted to 10% of the total bill – twice as much as the coperto at €5 each – which was also stated on the menu and completely fine. When we asked about it, a young waiter was sent over... who sheepishly replied that it was a service charge. The head waiter, or boss, said that was common practice in many Italian restaurants. Suddenly, by asking, I had the choice and could only pay the coperto. Which we did. We've never experienced this in countless restaurant visits (even high-priced ones). I would have liked to give a decent tip – which would have been considerably more. In that case, I lost the desire to do so. I suspect that the copert is required for small bills and the servizio for large amounts – when the 10% exceeds the coupert. Perhaps consider including the servizio on the menu. Anyway - the evening itself was nice.

We chose this restaurant to end our summer vacation... a truly perfect choice! Everything was taken care of down to the smallest detail: from the welcome to the service, always attentive and friendly, to the elegant and refined presentation of the dishes, a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. The dishes were not only beautiful to look at, but above all rich in flavor and prepared with quality ingredients. The red shrimp tartare and the calamarata... 🔝 An experience that made our evening special, absolutely recommended! 🌟

Great dinner yesterday night in this gastronomic restaurant listed in Michelin guide. We kept the bill to less than 100 eur as we took only one plate per person. And we were treated as full customers as we were. This experience is definitely worth it. Warmly recommended. I decided to write this review after reading some of the reviews which I found really different from our experience.
