ristorante esplanade In Desenzano del garda

We have known this place for over 20 years now and it is a guarantee in everything

The location and lake view are fabulous. The service is elegant and genuine, attentive yet discreet, led by owner Emanuele, who boasts over 50 years of experience. Dogs are welcome. The food is nothing short of perfect, generously sized and of the highest quality. We ordered two tasting menus (€140 each), which included everything from appetizer to dessert, accompanied by a good Gewürztraminer served at just the right temperature. The dishes were excellent and served on time. The coffee was excellent. It seats about 36, so reservations are recommended. Ample indoor parking.

We celebrated our 20th anniversary here and the experience was truly second to none. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was world-class; the team was incredibly thoughtful, making us feel special and at ease immediately. The tasting menu was phenomenal—every dish was beautifully presented and felt carefully crafted. A huge thank you to the exceptional service team; they were knowledgeable, warm, and went above and beyond to explain every course in English. It was an unforgettable evening and the perfect way to mark our 20-year milestone!

I've been going to this restaurant for several years and I always love it. The location is beautiful and the dishes are delicious, and you can taste and see the search for fresh, quality ingredients. Manuele is always great at welcoming and satisfying his customers.

Amazing food, impeccable service, elegant atmosphere. Everything was perfect.

Restaurant with an exceptional lake view. Very elegant atmosphere and very courteous and knowledgeable staff, able to recommend and recommend the best dishes. Perfect dining room management. All dishes are truly excellent, but if I can recommend anything, the fish main courses are a must. Excellent!

A well-deserved Michelin star, congratulations. Definitely worth a visit.

Our favorite restaurant on Lake Garda: L’Esplanade. We come from Belgium and return every time with the same pleasure. Excellent cuisine with high-quality ingredients, the staff is incredibly kind and takes the time to carefully explain each dish. A complimentary aperitif and delicate amuse-bouches are offered, as well as an amazing selection of pastries at the end of the meal. A place we highly recommend. Françoise & Salvatore Polito

My favorite restaurant. A beautiful and extremely refined place, where nothing is left to chance. The food is delicious, but what really elevates it above all others is the impeccable service, of a rare level. The waiters notice even the smallest flaws before you can and intervene with ease and discretion. The dishes always arrive together, even for large tables: a precision that makes all the difference. The dishes are exactly as you imagine them: carefully prepared, coherent, without unpleasant surprises. The service is measured to perfection, without a word too much or too little. You go there and you immediately feel at peace. I am very picky about food: I ask for changes, additions, and deletions of ingredients. Every request is met with attention and professionalism. Everything is simply perfect. Definitely worth it, I recommend it!

Impeccable welcome, service and cuisine
