06/09/2025: I went last night with my partner for the second time to this masterpiece of a restaurant. It's incredibly beautiful, truly elegant, and the owner and staff are incredibly kind, professional, and extremely helpful.
The food was excellent, the octopus alla diavola (it's actually a whole octopus) was spectacular, and the wine was excellent. What can I say? We'll definitely be back!
And finally, it was my partner's birthday. The waiter probably overheard us talking, and at the end of the bill, the desserts were offered by the owner. A very nice and much-appreciated gesture, thank you very much! Go there, you'll be amazed! Congratulations to the entire Gardenia staff!
See you soon, Matteo!
28/08/2025: Gardenia is a magical place. The atmosphere is meticulously maintained and elegant. It has a street-level entrance, but there are a series of stairs to reach the various rooms.
My husband and I dined in the outdoor area overlooking the lake, and it was truly a magical experience.
The service was courteous, attentive, and punctual. The wait for our dishes was short, and the attention to detail was truly excellent.
Regarding the cuisine, I can only confirm what has been said so far: the dishes were delicious, and the recipes were unique and sophisticated, complemented, of course, by some classics (the ever-present scampi risotto and lobster tongues, to name a few).
Personally, I was very satisfied.
