16/08/2026: Let's start by saying that we live on Lake Garda, and we can reach the Malga in forty minutes. We've always been going to Prada, since we had a house, so it's truly a piece of our heart. Malga Pralongo is a mountain hut perched in a panoramic spot of such beauty that no amount of photos will fully convey its beauty. One evening last weekend (they're only open in the evenings during specific periods; check on social media or by phone; reservations are recommended) we went there specifically to eat at the mountain hut. We made a reservation, and we stayed for 2-3 hours, going from the 35°C temperature of the lake to 21°C. We had a wonderful time; we felt like we were in paradise; the sunset was indescribable. We already knew this enchanting place, but seeing the love and care of those who have taken it over and are enhancing it filled our hearts with joy. We ate wonderfully, with top-quality ingredients whose value can only be understood if you're familiar with them: handmade tagliatelle with Aberdeen Angus ragù (from the Scottish region where it's also known as Black Angus due to the color of its coat), which grazes right on those magnificent pastures (so not from intensive farms) were amazing, not to mention the polenta and lard, the mountain gnocchi, and the arrosticini—everything was truly excellent!
The staff are adorable, so talented and so kind, we didn't want to leave. Thank you to all the staff for how you care for our beloved land, as we've already told you verbally, because there's always this option when making criticisms, whether positive or negative but always constructive, to speak directly about it. A direct relationship should always be the first choice, precisely for moral and ethical reasons, but unfortunately, nowadays, this rarely really is the case.
We absolutely recommend it and will return with our children, but for our romantic evening, everything was beyond perfect.
Sincerely,
Beatrice and Francesco 🌄
15/08/2026: Malga Pralongo is located on the lower slope of Monte Baldo, overlooking Lake Garda, not far from San Zeno di Montagna and Caprino Veronese. We drove from Brenzone sul Garda to the village of Prada (on Via Val di Sacco) in about half an hour and left the car there. It's a 45-minute walk (the first 15 minutes are a bit steep, the remaining 30 minutes are fairly easy, through meadows and Black Angus pastures).
The mountain hut has spectacular views, and the food is based primarily on Black Angus beef from their own farms and their own production (they also have an online shop and store, Mr. Buffy, in the Villafranca area of Verona).
I think the menu is spot on... not too many options, but everything is high-quality, and the meat is spectacular... tender and flavorful!
The arrosticini and cold cuts, all Black Angus (no pork), were delicious... as was the grilled polenta with lard!!
I had a great time... the service was friendly and fast! The price was reasonable for the quality of the ingredients (it's okay to pay a little more, but at least you know you're eating excellent meat from free-range, grass-fed cows).
Reservations are recommended.
We'll definitely be back!! Well done!
