La Rocca Punto Di Ristoro In Bardolino

13/05/2026: This small town is considered, and rightly so, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. Strolling through the narrow streets, fascinated by the various structures equipped with fully functioning water mills, we notice "Lo stappo." The season allows us to stop in the summer terrace, completely surrounded by the river. For our appetizer, I choose "pike in sauce with polenta" followed by "leek and Asiago omelette." All washed down with a good Lugana wine. The flavors are truly excellent, so we decide to round off the meal with a cheese selection and a glass of passito. I therefore end this experience on a high note, knowing I've chosen a place that probably has every reason to envy other restaurants in the area.

10/05/2026: One of the most enchanting locations in Borghetto, they give us a nice table on the riverside. We start with an appetizer of 2 pike in Gardesana sauce with 4 delicious slices of fried polenta. Followed by the classic trio of tortelli, €20 each, for a couple it's €40. It includes a generous portion of love knot tortellini, one of 3 pumpkin tortelli, one of 3 tortelli with Robiola and lemon cream, saffron and prawns. The 3 tortelli on the plates aren't many, but they are large. There is certainly quality and a desire to amaze, but in terms of personal taste, as I told the very kind waiter, Robiola lemon etc., you can only taste the saffron that dominates everything. As a true Milanese, I felt like I was eating the famous risotto. The Valeggio sfogliatina with mascarpone cream was excellent, actually they are two puff pastries convenient for a couple to share. Superb service and kindness! There are many interesting dishes on the menu. We'll be back, table permitting, for more tastings. I'm attaching a photo. Best regards, Paolo
