15/08/2024: I spent a wonderful evening in the restaurant with my best friend.
The ambience is incredibly beautiful and romantic. With a view of the lake, we enjoyed our wine and had an excellent meal.
The menu is varied and for those who don't want to be particularly fancy there is also pizza.
We chose the dishes that can be seen in the pictures.
The service is very friendly, welcomed us wonderfully and fulfilled all of our wishes!
14/08/2024: Finally noticed! And it was really worth it! (08/10/2024)
Reservation for 6 people - I strongly recommend at least in the high season - worked perfectly and I dare to say that we had the best table on the very tastefully furnished and Mediterranean-looking panoramic terrace with a beautiful lake view.
The small accessories and the ambience are also very nicely coordinated. The tables are beautifully set.
Only the very narrow and completely transparent plexiglass chairs look cool, but they start to “stick” after a while when it’s warm.
(Ladies with very short skirts beware!)
The large staff is attentive, very personable, well trained and seems well-coordinated as a team and in a good mood. Italian, German, English - no problem.
You're not pushy, but for me it's almost a bit too relaxed in your approach. But they respond immediately to signs or speech.
Later, you can also have a longer, relaxed chat with the responsible service person - you're welcome to take your time.
The menu isn't huge (which I personally don't like anyway), it has traditional Italian cuisine but also international dishes on the menu. A successful mix.
Our starters such as sea bass tartare, beef tartare, burrata with ham, tuna teriaki, ... were all very tasty, with fresh ingredients and, above all, very tasty.
I wasn't really expecting pizza as a main course at this restaurant. But respect, it is really delicious, fluffy and light, again with lots of very fresh ingredients, nice variations. Hard to top.
My sea bream fillet as “Catch of the Day” was also great. However, the sea bream appeared a little “naked”. A few more ingredients or vegetables certainly wouldn't have hurt.
But the best were the ravioli with shrimp filling. A real pleasure, not just visually!
Our various desserts were also all to our satisfaction.
The cocktails beforehand were good and, in our opinion, really “value for money”.
The wine list is also not a thick compendium and offers a good selection of wines, mostly good quality wines from the wider region (which has a lot to offer anyway) - a nice selection without being high-end or expensive.
Our white wine should have been a little colder. The wine was then cooled.
From our point of view, a successful, relaxed and culinary evening in a beautiful ambience.
Certainly not the cheapest restaurant in Limone, but one with a real feel-good factor, a great atmosphere and really good cuisine. Certainly one of the best options in Limone and the surrounding area.
We'll be back!
