On this trip Milan + Lake Como, both cities have their own a — traveler post in Arco

On this trip Milan + Lake Como, both cities have their own authentic Italian cuisine. Dining outdoors at the Milan restaurant for an Italian flair, with sunny, ancient Western architecture matching the three specialties on the table: Palmer margarita pizza, baked eggplant mille-feuille, and Italian beef knee stew. The walk to Lago Di Como Como Lake and up the picturesque lakefront along over 300 steps is strenuous but definitely worth it. Each restaurant is good value for money, friendly hospitality, suitable for you who want to feel the authentic taste! Osteria da Fortunata Address: Via del Pellegrino, 11/12, 00186 Roma RM, Italy Signature dishes: Tomato beef pasta, beef balls, tiramisu, stewed beef bones, stewed beef belly Environment: The atmosphere of the old city of Rome, outdoor seating to feel the lively humanity, the shop has a handmade pasta making counter Opening hours: 11:30–23:00 daily Price: About €20-€35 per person Features: All pasta is ready-made, beef meatballs are delicate, pasta absorbs all the rich tomato flavor. Dessert tiramisu is smooth and authentically Roman. Impressions: The waiter took the initiative to explain the menu, no problem if you don't understand Italian. Remember to make a reservation, it is difficult to wait for a seat during peak hours. Pizza Al Trancio Address: Via Piero della Francesca, 58, 20152 Milano MI, Italy Signature dishes: Palmer margarita pizza, artisan bread Environment: Minimalist interior, popular local shop in Milan, nearby a residential area, not a concentration of tourists. Opening hours: 12:00–23:00 daily Price: About €2.5-€5 per slice of pizza Features: Margarita pizza has a thin crust, green tomatoes, more cheese threads, quite a Milan local feel. The bread is fresh and hot and matches with pasta or alone. Impressions: Suitable for takeaway ready-to-eat or in-house small sitting, reasonable price. Dine at the outdoor seating on sunny days and feel the Italian urban life. La Scarpetta Address: Via Linfano 52 | Piazza Garda Thermae, 38062, Arco, Italy Signature dishes: Baked Layer Eggplant Parmigiana di melanzane, Italian Ossobuco con Risotto alla Milanese Environment: Lakeside town, elegant Western architecture, indoor and outdoor seating, particularly beautiful scenery Opening hours: 11:30–22:00 daily Price: Main courses around €15-€25 Features: Thick and layered eggplant with rich cheese; After walking the Como Lake Scenic Area, tasting local ingredients is especially feeling. Impressions: The restaurant staff is very friendly, the food portion is sufficient, high value for money. It is recommended to enjoy lunch after walking around the lakeside. 💡Tips Over 300 steps up and down Lake Como, perfect for fit feet! It is recommended to go again if you have enough physical strength. The lake view is most beautiful at sunset. The restaurant recommends making a reservation or arriving early, as it is easy to be full during popular hours. #Italianrestaurant #Milanpizza #Romancraftspaghetti #beautiful views of Lake Como #Arco must eat

Where mountains meet the med  — traveler post in Arco

Where mountains meet the med

Arco, tucked at the northern tip of Lake Garda, blends Italian charm with dramatic Alpine scenery. Towering limestone cliffs rise above the town, crowned by the ruins of a medieval castle, while narrow streets wind through pastel-coloured buildings and lively piazzas. Surrounded by olive groves, lemon trees, and vineyards, the landscape shifts effortlessly from Mediterranean warmth to rugged mountain beauty. A haven for climbers, hikers, and cyclists, Arco is also perfect for those who just want to soak up the relaxed Garda vibe with a coffee in hand. A place where history, nature, and adventure meet. #LakeGarda #DiscoverArco #ItalyTravels#postandearn

Hidden Gem Near Garda See — Arco 🌄✨ — traveler post in Arco

Hidden Gem Near Garda See — Arco 🌄✨

#summervacay When I told my German colleagues I was vacationing in Arco near Garda See, they kept correcting me — saying Arco isn’t exactly right on the lake’s edge. And they’re right! Arco is about 5 km from the lake, and many who’ve visited Garda See multiple times don’t even know about this little spot. It’s definitely an off-the-beaten-path destination. Arco sits at the northern tip of Lake Garda, in the Trient region. But since it’s practically connected to the popular tourist town of Riva del Garda, it’s often considered part of the Garda lake area. The town is small and cozy, with a charming pedestrian street and a central square you can easily explore on foot 🚶♀️. Parking is not difficult to find either. Despite its size, Arco offers plenty of dining options — cafés, bakeries, and restaurants aplenty ☕🥖🍝. On weekends, the open-air square fills with a bit of local buzz and liveliness. We visited during the busy summer season, but even then, the town felt peaceful and relaxed. No need to book restaurants in advance, and prices are quite reasonable — a perfect spot to unwind away from the hustle and bustle. #GardaSee #HiddenGems #ArcoItaly #OffTheBeatenPath #ItalyTravel
