I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiananella città Bardolino della Verona

04/04/2026: Service was rather cool and reserved; panna cotta was unavailable again at 7 pm, but the food was excellent.

04/04/2026: The pizza was very good, but the cover charge was very high. When we ordered three pizzas to share, they charged €1.50 per pizza to cut them in half. A bit cheeky, otherwise a good experience.

10/04/2026: Unfortunately, this was the worst wine recommendation we've ever received. After enjoying a rather robust and good red wine, we wanted to try another one and asked for a recommendation. The recommended wine, objectively speaking, was a taste disaster. It was also lighter than the one we had just tasted, which, in addition to the already poor quality of the wine, highlighted the incompetent recommendation and the staff's lack of knowledge about their own wines. Nevertheless, the location is pleasant, and if you don't ask for recommendations and just drink what you already know, it's alright.

09/04/2026: That's it! We've been regulars here for over 15 years. It's practically our "men's hangout" for the ladies shopping at the "Alexandra" boutique. And of course, we had the simple but excellent Custoza by the half-liter... with a refill. So, two half-liter glasses of wine. So far, so good... as always... delicious snacks and classically friendly service included. And then came the bill: €32!!! This will likely be the end of our tradition here. The price-performance ratio has completely gone out the window, and they've slipped into tourist traps... from now on, and this is a good advice for everyone: even in places without restaurants and simple bars, study the menu before sitting down!

19/05/2026: We were completely disappointed and absolutely cannot understand the many positive reviews. For the "Fish Platter with King Prawns," I was asked which side dish I would like. Naturally, one assumes that a side dish offered is included. Among the options were fried potatoes – however, we only realized on the bill that these were suddenly charged at an additional €6. This hadn't been mentioned at all beforehand. If a side dish isn't included in the price, this should be clearly communicated. We find this misleading. Even more disappointing: The dish is called "Fish Platter with King Prawns." However, I was served only prawns – no fish. If a dish is described as a fish platter, one expects fish on the plate. Otherwise, the dish should simply be renamed. In my opinion, this is simply setting the wrong expectations for the customer. The fried potatoes themselves unfortunately bore little resemblance to proper fried potatoes – more like small pieces of boiled potatoes, briefly fried in oil, very dry, and without any particular preparation. Overall, the value for money was an absolute disaster. In addition, some of the dishes at our table were missing ingredients that were explicitly stated to be included. When we pointed this out, they initially tried to explain that these ingredients were supposedly already there. Only later were they reluctantly provided. Instead of responding in a customer-oriented manner, we got the impression that our comments were seen as a nuisance. Things got particularly unpleasant afterward: Once the situation was resolved, staff members talked about us behind our backs and gossiped about us—so loudly that it could be heard across several tables. This kind of behavior is completely unprofessional and disrespectful to paying customers. As the evening progressed, the staff became noticeably less friendly. This impression was even reinforced the next day when we happened to walk past the restaurant: One of the waiters pointed at us and was clearly talking about us with a colleague. After the previous day's experiences, this left a very negative impression. We also noticed that almost all the tables around us received a bread basket—except for ours. This might seem like a minor issue on its own, but unfortunately, combined with the rest of the experience, it fits the overall picture. Overall, a very disappointing visit – not just because of the food, but especially because of the way guests were treated. We definitely won't be back.

18/05/2026: I also cannot understand the positive reviews here. The pizza wasn't as ordered; it was missing ingredients listed on the menu. The waiter was very unfriendly and initially claimed everything was fine. Only after pointing it out twice was the pizza finally finished with the missing toppings. The waiters were very loud about it, so the other guests could hear it too. Absolutely not recommended – very unprofessional, especially if you're a family of six and want to eat there. Even two days later, the waiters were making fun of us when we walked by. There are much better ways to spend your money in Bardolino for good food. So, definitely not recommended.

21/05/2026: We've been going to San Martino regularly for over 10 years. The food and atmosphere were always very good. This time, however, we were disappointed. Even attractive dishes and slate plates couldn't compensate. The main course—grilled squid, about ten pieces the size of walnuts, accompanied by various green, white, and red sauces and a garnish of lamb's lettuce—was meager. €20 for that is outrageous. It was only suitable as an appetizer. A slightly more elaborate salad for €12 was the final straw. The service listened to our dissatisfaction briefly and patiently, without any complaints. As walk-ins, we were waved through... but there will be plenty of customers in the coming days. Fortunately, Bardolino has numerous good restaurant alternatives.

14/05/2026: We were served quickly and had a good table; our order was taken promptly. The appetizers were okay. The vitello tonnato was too dry. The tagliatelle with seafood was good, as was the grilled sea bass. The potatoes were lukewarm, the grilled vegetables cold. We complained and immediately received a new portion, again cold. The third plate was only lukewarm and also only half full. We had only taken a small sample from each of the previous plates. The dessert, tiramisu, bore no resemblance to the picture on the menu, but it was okay. What also bothered me was that a €5 cover charge was added to a bill of over €100 for two people. Very disappointing.

28/02/2026: Dirty and incompetent staff. Simply obscene.

27/02/2026: A place on the lakeside promenade in Bardolino, with average prices. Nice place. Decent service. Basic aperitif... or even more.

28/12/2025: The cuisine is excellent as always, highly recommended.

05/12/2025: Excellent service Good meals - the pizza was good, but not excellent. The restaurant specializes in seafood. Excellent prices for the quality received. I will definitely be back. Thank you.

30/04/2026: The price-performance ratio is excellent!

29/04/2026: Chosen at random among all the lakeside restaurants... everything was superb! Very good pizza, perfectly cooked fish! Service? One of the most professional and friendly ever! The complimentary limoncello was appreciated!
