Came here for a quick drink and ended up staying longer than planned. The lake view from the piazza is really something &mdash; makes the whole place feel more open. Staff were friendly enough and drinks came fast even when it started filling up. Just a decent spot to sit and watch people go by.

The sourdough crust on the wood-fired pizza was spot on. Tried the fried pizza too&mdash;super crispy and somehow not greasy. That was the highlight for me. Solid spot for a casual bite.

Nice little spot for a casual drink. The staff are genuinely friendly, which makes it a comfortable place to unwind. I had their house cocktail and found it well-balanced, not too sweet. Prices felt reasonable for the area. A solid choice for a relaxed evening.

Booked a table for two, got seated right away. The pasta was fresh, sauce had a nice kick. Staff was super chill, made us feel welcome. Place was packed though, glad we called ahead.

The pizzas here are excellent, with a perfect thin crust and a great balance of toppings. A must-try for pizza lovers!

The bar area was comfortable enough for a quiet drink. Staff were friendly and didn&#39;t rush me, which I appreciated. Just wish the seating had a bit more cushioning, my back started to ache after a while. But overall a decent spot to unwind without any fuss.

The matcha latte with raspberry was solid. Good balance, not too sweet. Portion&#39;s a bit small for the price though. Service was quick, which I appreciated since I was in and out. Fine spot if you&#39;re nearby and need a coffee fix.

The outdoor seating across from the lake is lovely. Staff made sure we were comfortable without hovering. Tuna tartare was good, pasta a bit heavy but fine.

The steak tartare was really good, and you can tell nonna&rsquo;s in the kitchen. Cozy spot, though the seating&rsquo;s a bit tight. Felt like a proper family-run place.

Aperol Spritz for &euro;6. That&#39;s a decent price around here. Had one last Friday evening, sitting outside. It was refreshing, not too sweet. Good way to start the weekend.

The menu had clear allergy-friendly markings. It made ordering so much easier for me. I could just relax and enjoy my meal without having to ask a million questions.

Tiramisu for dessert. You can tell it&#39;s homemade, the texture was just right. Not too sweet either. A solid way to end the meal.

The homemade pasta was incredible, especially the tagliatelle with wild boar ragu. The owner stopped by our table for a quick chat, which was a nice touch. Maria, our waitress, was super attentive.

Good for a quick bite. The vegan sandwich was decent, soy milk too. Got my order in under 5 minutes, which is what I needed. Prices are okay for the area.

Been staying here on and off for years. The rooms are always clean and bright, and I keep coming back for that balcony overlooking the square. It&#39;s just a peaceful spot for a morning coffee. The breakfast is solid, too &ndash; good coffee and a fresh croissant. That&#39;s the routine I like.

Limoncello spritz was a solid choice. Not too sweet, good price. Barman remembered our order, that was nice. Made the evening.

The grilled duck was quite good, served nice and hot. A solid meal overall. The place was a bit crowded for a Tuesday, but the food made up for it.

Been coming here for years. The service is always friendly and attentive, which is why I keep coming back.

Stumbled upon this spot and it got packed with locals fast. The house ros&eacute; was lovely, but the calzone special really stood out&mdash;the ricotta filling was so creamy. Solid choice for a family meal.

Been coming here for 25 years, never a letdown. The anniversary specials are a nice touch. Their wine list has some real gems that pair beautifully with the classics. A bit louder than I remember, but that&rsquo;s okay.

The staff was very attentive to my dietary needs. They checked in a few times to make sure everything was okay with the set menu, which was a nice touch. Felt comfortable and well taken care of.

Loved the vibe here. The walls are covered with these cool urban photography prints. Felt like grabbing a bite in a little art gallery, which was a nice surprise.

The beer list here is seriously good&mdash;local stuff plus some solid international picks. Staff actually know what they&#39;re talking about, pointed me toward a sour I wouldn&#39;t have tried on my own. Place looks a little tired, but that&#39;s part of the charm honestly. Unpretentious, easy to hang out in. Would&#39;ve liked a better wine option by the glass, but the beer made up for it.

The staff is so kind and welcoming, they really made us feel at home. Even with the language barrier, they were patient and helpful.
