La Vecchia Lira In Verona

25/02/2026: We've been coming to Bardolino for many, many years, up to ten times a year. So we really know every restaurant. Given the wide range of options in Bardolino, Casanova wasn't our first choice. Now, at the turn of the year, the lease changed hands. The new owner is Sergio. We've known him for a while from the Tempo bar across the street. Now he's also leased Casanova. A bold move! Naturally, we went to check it out. The restaurant has been attractively renovated, and the restrooms are spotless. The menu is extensive. We found the prices reasonable. The food was delicious, and the portions were very generous. My wife's octopus from the appetizer menu was enormous—more like a main course, really. The price of €26 for a good Prosecco was perfectly acceptable. We were there for lunch on Valentine's Day, February 14th. If Sergio can maintain this standard, he'll be successful in the market. We'll definitely be back in April. Highly recommended!

27/10/2025: Fantastic experience at this restaurant. I had the tagliolini with lobster and a Prosecco reduction, and they were truly delicious. I also tried my friend's seafood dish: that, too, received top marks. The service was exceptional. The waiter even opened the lobster for me, a truly appreciated touch. An added bonus: they offer a welcome aperitif and even a amaro/sorbet at the end of the meal. The food was top-notch, and the staff was impeccable. I highly recommend it and will be back soon!
