I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Veneto

19/08/2024: El Busetto enjoys a prime location overlooking Lake Garda, which is easily its best feature. The views from the terrace are stunning, making it a lovely spot to relax and take in the scenery. Unfortunately, the food leaves much to be desired. The menu offers a variety of options, but the quality is rather mediocre. It’s clear that many of the dishes are not freshly prepared, with some items seemingly frozen and simply warmed up before serving. If you're hungry, it might be worth popping in for a quick snack or a drink, but I wouldn't recommend it for a full meal. There are better options nearby for a proper dining experience. The staff, while young and energetic, seem overburdened by the sheer number of tables they need to cover. They are quick to seat you and take your order, but after that, good luck catching their attention again. This is not the fault of the waiters themselves, who appear eager and hardworking, but rather an issue with management not having enough staff on hand to manage the crowd effectively. It’s a shame because the service starts off well but quickly becomes frustrating. Overall, El Busetto is not a place I would outright avoid, but it’s not somewhere I’d rush back to either. The experience is mediocre, and unless you’re okay with sitting unnoticed for much of the evening, you might want to try your luck elsewhere. If you’re after the lake views, it’s a decent spot, but don’t expect too much in terms of food or service.

15/08/2024: We visited several times during our stay in Garda. Each time all staff were friendly and welcoming .I would recommend 👌

06/09/2024: Sotto consiglio di una coppia del posto abbiamo deciso di fare un aperitivo in questo locale. Prima di sederci abbiamo chiesto se fosse stato possibile preparare una pastina ( o riso ) per nostra figlia di 15 mesi. Ci è stato detto di sì e allora abbiamo deciso di accomodarci. Da genitori prima vengono i figli e poi noi. Dopo aver aspettato una mezz’oretta ci è stato servito un piatto di penne crude all’olio. Ovviamente la bambina non ha minimamente toccato la pietanza poiché è abituata a mangiare pasta piccola (come fatto presente ai camerieri). Sorpresa del conto: 8€ per “il piatto del giorno” ovvero penne crude all’olio e 2€ di coperto per non so cosa, forse per averci portato un cucchiaino alla bambina.

14/07/2024: Grazioso locale in piazza, buonissimi i cicchetti e l'aperitivo. Ringrazio la ragazza che ci ha servito,in gamba e super sorridente!

08/07/2024: Convenient as we were staying at the Hotel across the road. Busy restaurant with good sized portions. Cover bread was stale and had been sitting there a while. Unable to order Hugo spritzs so opted for 3 x Negronis which were good. Had margerita pizza, seafood pasta and caesar salad; all tasted great. Had tiramisu and strawberry meringue for dessert which were enjoyed. Service was okay but not enthusiastic. When I checked the bill later I had been overcharged.

26/06/2024: Pizza buona, posto accogliente, personale gentile! Parcheggio ampio. Per una serata senza pretese è un posto ottimo! Vicini c'è anche un centro commerciale e altri negozi. Ci tornerò!

18/08/2024: We loved this restaurant when we visited a few times in 2022 and looked forward to returning this summer, 2024. We went twice this summer. The first time on Tuesday 13th August and the 2nd visit on Friday 16th August. On the Tuesday we had been pleased to recognise lots of the same members of staff from the 2022 visit. On the Tuesday we had a good experience (the reason why we were excited to return) and the second time we went, on the Friday we had a really poor experience. On the Tuesday, the food was very good, the vibe in the restaurant was also good and the service welcoming too. The restaurant is in an excellent location with stonking views back to Malcesine and the beautiful lake. It is an excellent grassy frontage with bean bags which our kids loved having their drinks at. However, on the 2nd visit we approached a waiter to inform our arrival which was 8:35pm for an 8:30pm booking (it was a hot day and we were feeling a little hot/slow on the walk!). He cut us short as we told him who we were and said we were late because it was an 8:00pm booking. My mum did not match the waiter's rude tone but tried to explain she had asked for an 8:30pm booking on the phone. He told her abruptly cut her short again and told her she was wrong (verging on aggressively) and he said he had 'seen the booking written down so she was wrong'! I asked if there was still a possibility of a table, he walked off to a table, leaving us unclear - we decided to find out by going over the table he was standing by. My mum is 75 and half Italian, fluent in the language. My father was 100% sure that she made an 8:30pm booking having listened to the phone call, he felt the person answering the call had been short of time / not really listening so had probably taken an 8:00 time instead - easy to do in a busy and popular restaurant - it is such a shame the waiter defaulted to rudeness, abrupt responses and certainly didn't apply basic, decent customer service. When at the table, we felt unwelcome and considered leaving but it is easy one for one waiter to have a bad day and we hadn't encountered poor service before so we stayed on. A different waiter came to take our order. My sister whose family don't eat gluten, for health reasons, started to give an order. The waiter stopped her as she gave her pasta order. He spoke in an off manner, similar to the first waiter and said she couldn't order gluten free pasta with different sauces, we asked why. He said the chef said he/she can't make different sauces so the 3 family members had to choose 1 sauce for the 3 orders. We were keen to know why but the waiter became inpatient taking the order and demanded she choose different food or one sauce for the 3 pasta orders. It was hard to understand because the sauces did not contain gluten. We discussed if we should continue with the order, we felt our children were tired and hungry so made an order. As we questioned if we should continue after 2 instances of poor customer service, the waiter, again with little tact or skill said we could leave now. Unconvinced, we continued with the order. The food arrived, some of it was fine, my risotto was undercooked and tasted bland. The gluten free pasta was undercooked (unlike the gluten free pasta on the Tuesday - when we were also allowed to choose whichever sauce), the undercooked pasta felt, possibly, like a point being made by the staff cooking it! We felt it necessary to mention this to the waiter and they reduced the final bill by 20%. Overall the 2nd visit this summer was really disappointing and we had all really looked forward to returning. If the owners / management staff were asked what I'd expect to be different: it was the tone of voice and the manner of communicating by both waiters. Of course, if the chef feels he/she needs certain stipulations followed so they can deliver allergy safe food then they can be explained carefully and politely. And is it really worth rudely telling the customer they are wrong about a booking time? And being so certain a human error might not have been made at their end?! I mean, surely it's not too difficult to deal with this situation by applying more politeness and respectful customer service. We don't feel comfortable in continuing to recommend Lido Sopri to friends and won't attend again when visiting the wonderful lake.

04/06/2024: Great basic pizza! We stopped here when we were driving to our hotel and it was raining. Good service and got our pizzas for takeaway.

05/04/2024: Seit Jahren sind wir immer gerne hier und Essen mit der Familie vor allem gerne Pizza und Pasta. Die Lage ist perfekt und der Service immer super.

13/03/2025: Excellent accueil Risotto et gnocchis délicieux Le serveur Mimo est charmant et a l’écoute Nous reviendrons certainement

03/03/2025: Vine a este restaurante con mi familia, nos lo pasamos muy bien. El risotto scampi era muy bueno y la carne de res era increíble (incluyendo la presentación y el servicio). Nuestro camarero era muy agradable y recomendó tan buena comida y el servicio de nuevo fue excelente. Muy recomendable!

24/08/2024: A cena con amici dopo un piacevole fine settimana sul Garda. Ci fermiamo per mangiare una pizza e subito notiamo l’arroganza e la maleducazione di un cameriere senza un minimo di professionalità; imbarazzante. Ordiniamo le nostre pizze arrivano dopo 30 minuti e fredde. Sulla mia “diavola’ arriva con l’origano non segnalato sul menu! Faccio presente allo stesso che mi risponde in malo modo dicendo che se deve rifarla devo aspettare prima che facciano tutte le altre in coda al forno. I miei commensali intanto finiscono di mangiare e la mia pizza arriva dopo 45min. Purtroppo non vi è la possibilità di inserire numeri relativi come voto altrimenti sarebbe -5! Evitatelo assolutamente . La mia peggior esperienza!

18/08/2024: Ambiente super suggestivo e cucina varia. Tonno eccezionale! Servizio molto attento e cortese, ci hanno trattati davvero bene :) E poi la coppa gelato con i gusti misti era inaspettatamente gigantesca e deliziosa in un modo non scontato (provare per credere!). Da provare assolutamente!

01/03/2025: Staff gentile e cordiale cucina ottima avevamo difficoltà per trovare gluten free ci hanno aiutato con modifiche al menu

09/02/2025: Locale in centro storico con una veranda intima in un palazzo storico. Si mangia molto bene: piatti ben fatti e di grande qualità. Consigliato!!!
