Ristorante Corte Pozzi In Desenzano del garda

I chose this place from the photos, by chance, while looking for a restaurant in the center of Desenzano for lunch on a rainy day. We entered this magical space, which is covered but feels like an outdoor dining area. It's meticulously designed, with a rustic yet refined feel. We ordered gnocchi alla sorrentina and a seafood first course with fresh pasta. The rating was...fair. The gnocchi were good, bathed in a very flavorful sauce, but with very little mozzarella, not blending in with the rest, as the recipe calls for. However, with the delicious bread they offer and all that delicious sauce, I made endless mopping up the sauce. The seafood first course was apparently good, perhaps a little too oily. Then I ordered grilled vegetables, but—probably my mistake—I expected them to be already seasoned. Instead, they arrive freshly grilled (grilled vegetables disgust me when they're hot) and with salt and oil on the side. Oh well... I was dreaming of those delicious side dishes with garlic and parsley, cold and flavorful (I think they could be made both ways and let the customer choose how they like them, but hot and plain absolutely not; freshly seasoned hot vegetables are truly awful). Then I had a crème caramel that seemed homemade, and I really enjoyed it. The service was efficient and very friendly. The bill was a bit steep, in my opinion, compared to the food. The ambiance, in my opinion, is the restaurant's strong point.

We dined at this restaurant and were pleasantly surprised. The outdoor seating is located in a charming courtyard. The dishes are generous and of excellent quality. I recommend the tagliolini with pesto ragù; they are truly excellent.

Very good dinner in a pleasant and quiet place. Very friendly welcome: we were made to wait 10 minutes maximum (without prior reservation) and offered a glass of prosecco while we waited.

Wonderful atmosphere in a charming courtyard, with very friendly and attentive service who strive to fulfill every wish. The food is excellent and very lovingly prepared. A definite recommendation!!!!!

Good restaurant. It was recommended to us by our hotel. Very nice courtyard with an Italian atmosphere. The wine prices are reasonable.

Very nice staff! Stop in and have a beer or a bite to eat. Very nice!

The courtyard setting, the food, and the staff are all great. I can't share the experience of unfriendly staff. Plus, the food and drinks weren't too expensive for a family of five at around €100.

This is my second time here. Simply wonderful. Great location, super friendly staff, absolutely delicious food.

Ottimo ristorante STRASTRAconsigliato se vi trovate a Desenzano. Ottimo servizio molto attento ma mai invadente, ottimi piatti in generale e anche alla brace che viene curata con molta attenzione presentando dei pezzi di carne con cottura perfetta. Mi ripeto strano consigliato.. io ci sono andato due sere di fila e ne sono entusiasta. Non mancherò di tornarci.

Sempre ottimo il cibo e il servizio. Segnaliamo MONICA che ci segue con passione e dedizione. Una certezza a Desenzano del Garda.
