26/02/2024: You leave the Vittoriale hungry, it's 1.30pm, you see a trattoria-pizzeria right in front, what's up, don't you go in?
Tourist menu offered for 17.50 euros, written in large format. In reality you then discover that you pay the cover charge separately, all drinks are excluded, even water, and in the end, if you are satisfied with the latter and don't indulge in wine or soft drinks, it becomes 25.
While you wait for them to come and take your order, you see dishes of casoncelli being served at the nearby table, beautiful, abundant, steaming, and you decide: I want them. Yours arrive in 10 min. afterwards, half of those you saw in the dishes described previously, barely lukewarm (probably the leftover from the aforementioned batch).
For the second course I had a mix of grilled meat: the salamella was good but really small, a lamb chop, always good if you like it (and not everyone does) and a pork chop full of bone splinters (cut really badly !).
Excellent coffee! All the condiments (including the grated cheese) are in single-dose sachets, almost like those of a company canteen.
06/01/2024: Proprio di fronte all’ingresso del Vittoriale offre un bel giardino ed un servizio cortese e veloce per consumare un pasto in attesa dell’ora di ingresso.
I bigoli al pesce di lago meritano, non proprio al dente (si è circondati da turisti germanici….) ma con un gustosissimo condimento.
Prezzi buoni
