Ristorante al Porticcioli In San felice del benaco

A very beautiful location, with a lovely terrace right on the lakeshore! Courteous service and smiling staff. Unfortunately, the food wasn't entirely convincing. It was certainly decent, but in a setting like this, we would have expected much better food—a shame! Overall, my personal rating is satisfactory, thanks to the location's significant contribution to the final rating. Private parking is available, although not as convenient as some reviews suggest.

We had a wonderful evening at Ristorante Porticcioli Garda. The location right on the water is simply breathtaking – especially at sunset, an absolute highlight. The food was truly incredible. Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted absolutely divine. You can tell that they put a lot of love and attention into every detail. But we especially want to commend the service: The entire team was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Michela, in particular, surprised us with her open and friendly manner and made our evening truly special. She will definitely be remembered! Yes, the restaurant is a bit pricey – but with this unique location, the outstanding quality, and above all, the exceptional service, every euro is absolutely justified. We will definitely be back on our next Lake Garda vacation. Highly recommended!

⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5) The location of this restaurant is absolutely beautiful and creates a great atmosphere. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. I also appreciated the complimentary extras, such as the small appetizer served before the meal, which was a nice touch. However, the menu offers only a limited selection, so there aren't many options to choose from. I also found the prices to be a bit too high for the portion sizes. Another thing I didn't like was that I felt encouraged to leave a tip when paying. Considering that the food was already quite expensive for the portions, I didn't really understand why there seemed to be an expectation of an additional tip. Overall, it's a nice place with excellent service and a stunning location, but the limited menu, high prices, and the tipping experience make it difficult to give a higher rating.

Wonderful place, fantastic food, excellent wine selection and professional and helpful staff.

The location is truly spectacular, with a terrace directly overlooking the lake. Service is attentive, but not excessive. The dishes are beautifully presented and of good quality; however, I expected a little more for a restaurant of this caliber (unevenly balanced flavors). Furthermore, the appetizers are a bit small for the price, and the desserts are overpriced for what they offer. For example, I think it's absurd for Osmosis to charge €10 for a few pieces of fruit and yogurt that's almost nonexistent. In conclusion, I would return primarily for the location and probably for the future potential of the cuisine.

Terrace with a wonderful view of the lake, excellent food, welcoming service. Prices are in line with places of this type. It's a shame that the glass of wine (€8 each) was really not generous. Sometimes you get lost in a glass...

The restaurant is in an incredible location. Right on the lake with a breathtaking view of Salò. Impeccable service, excellent food, and reasonable prices without being particularly expensive (especially considering the wine we drank). Very convenient for the restaurant's parking. We'd definitely return, even for an anniversary or a romantic dinner.

Excellent service and truly exceptional care. From the very first moment, we felt completely at ease. I would especially like to commend a young employee who took his time and provided outstanding service. Between courses, he impressed us with excellent wine recommendations and also took care of all the organizational details, from ordering taxis to assisting with planning wine tastings at local wineries. The food was consistently delicious and perfectly complemented the overall experience. Highly recommended. Thank you!

Strange experience. Very nice place with a charming outdoor space. Visited at the beginning of the tourist season, but unfortunately the waitress was completely unfamiliar with the menu. We asked for information on a 2.0 joke... we were given a brief description, only to find on our plate a few meat "olives" coated in cocoa butter and a fried egg yolk. Dish (for us) included. The level of criticism is high, as befits a restaurant that aims for "luxury" both in its menu and prices. Unfortunately, overall, much of the menu description is not reflected in the dish. Risotto lacking in character, fillet leaking liquid onto the plate. Excellent fried food, but still fried food. Definitely room for improvement, especially in the service.

We called to check the availability of a table 15 minutes later. The table was available, but it still had to be set when we arrived. We waited 5 minutes, and that was fine. We ordered, and the waitress didn't know if there were any side dishes in the kitchen. We asked for wine by the glass, and the waitress again didn't know what types of wines were available. After 3 minutes, she came back with 1 white and 1 red. That was it. They had no other options. We ordered a tiramisu, and it looked anything but tiramisu. It was good, but it was anything but. Let's say the location was nice, the staff was average but needed training, and the food was a 7.
