Lake Garda Eating and Drinking - Lake Garda Dining

Here, the art of Italian cooking comes into its own, alternating Mediterranean classics with lakeland flavours and the rustic tastes of mountain specialities. Among the ingredients used to create our authentic yet modern menus are extra-virgin olive oil, lake fish, the broccoli of Torbole, carne salada (salted meat, made from an ancient recipe to keep it fresh), plums of Dro and polenta, all supplemented by fine wines including Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Merlot, Nosiola, Schiava and Müller Thurgau, as well as Grappa - a distilled spirit with ancient origins - and Vino Santo, a dessert wine that provides the perfect accompaniment not only to traditional local sweets (apple strudel, almond cakes and fruit cakes) but also to classic Italian desserts such as tiramisù and ice cream. The chefs in the restaurants leverage their expertise and passion for the best Italian culinary traditions to make every dish a delicious and memorable one.
