The beef tartar here is the real deal. Clean, fresh, well-seasoned, no fuss. Alessandro knows what he&#39;s doing behind the counter. I&#39;d come back just for that plate. Maybe try the rest of the menu next time, but honestly, the tartar alone is enough reason.

The View exceeded all expectations providing a fabulous dining experience in celebration of my husband&rsquo;s birthday! It was superb!

The tiramisu was so good! We shared it with friends after dinner and it was just the right sweetness. A nice way to end the night.

Loved the quiet street for outdoor seating. So peaceful. And the food looked incredible on the plate &ndash; real attention to detail there.

Staying nearby and found this spot. Their club sandwich is next level - the bacon was crispy, the bread toasted just right. Seriously, best I&#39;ve ever had.

The pumpkin tortellini were really good, and that view is something else. Cozy little place, plus the house ros&eacute; hit the spot.

The grilled vegetable plate was fresh and well-seasoned, not oily at all. Good to see a place with proper vegetarian options that aren&#39;t just pasta.

The tiramisu here is the best I&rsquo;ve had in years&mdash;properly soaked, creamy, not overly sweet. That alone would bring me back. Menu has decent variety too, though I only tried the pasta and dessert. Service was efficient, place was clean. Slightly off the main tourist path, but worth the short walk.

Been coming here for a while now, always sit upstairs. Food&#39;s consistent, which is honestly why I keep going back. Portions are solid, you won&#39;t leave hungry. Staff remember you after a few visits, that counts for something. Not the cheapest spot but you get what you pay for.

Lovely spot right on the lake. The Flammkuchen was thin and crispy, exactly what I needed. Staff let me try a few local beers before picking one.

The waiter took the time to translate the whole menu for us since there was no English version. That was a nice touch. Food and wine were good, and the setting is lovely. Just wish the place wasn&#39;t quite so busy when we went.

The ribs were so tender, they fell right off the bone. Really enjoyed the natural flavor of the meat.

Been coming here for years. That risotto special is always a solid choice &ndash; they never skimp on the portion, which I appreciate. It&rsquo;s the kind of consistency that keeps me coming back.

Stopped by for lunch. The portions are huge, especially the meat platter. Feels like a good deal compared to other spots around here.

The bar area is nice, and they brought us cushions and complimentary Parma ham with crisps. Very thoughtful service.

The lunch set is a great deal. I really appreciated the fresh ingredients, and the bread was included which was nice.

The tasting menu was a fun surprise! Not your typical Italian spot, but the courses were creative and kept our table chatting all night. A bit pricey, but perfect for a special girls&#39; night out.

Had a great evening, very different experience, food, service excellent. Loooved the robot xx

We stopped by on a Tuesday night, place was busy but not crazy. Hosts actually remembered us from last time, that was nice. Had the lamb tagine, plenty of meat, sauce had real depth. Portion size is honest, left full but not stuffed. Setting is cozy, old building with some character. Only thing, service slows down a bit when it gets packed. Still, solid spot for a casual dinner.

The owner actually came by to check if everything was alright. Got the lamb tagine and it was properly tender. Place feels like a real family operation, not some tourist trap.

The location of this restaurant is simply beautiful, especially during sunset. The menu offers a variety of delicious options, and the staff is always there to ensure a pleasant dining experience.

Service was on point even on a packed Friday night. Our server remembered our drink refills without asking, and the whole team just moved like clockwork. Really smooth.

Been coming here for years, always get the margherita. Crust has that perfect chewy texture, and the mozzarella is fresh. Piping hot every time. Prices are still fair.

The food is absolutely amazing. Michelin does this place a disservice rating it at one star. A very solid 2 star in my opinion.  Add the lakeside view and it is hard to beat.  Superb wine pairing using local and South Italian wines.

The staff helped us book a table at a great local spot. Really appreciated their local knowledge.

Stopped by for a quick lunch and grabbed their lunch special. Food was solid for the price, nothing fancy but decent. Service stayed friendly even when the place filled up. Probably not a destination spot, but fine if you&#39;re in the area and hungry.

A little tucked away from the main road, but that&#39;s what makes it so peaceful. The view of the lake from the window was just lovely during dinner. Very cozy spot.
