It was a fun experience, although the box opening ceremony was my least favourite part. Food itself was just amazing, especially the desserts. Restaurant seems to be very spacious and romantic, despite being in the rather small old building. Staff was very nice maybe bit too official, the lady with glasses is the best ☺️
The pieces were unexpectedly conversation starters and we had an amazing time, can't say it was not worth the money.

Spectacular food and staff. This place definitely deserves their Michelin star.

Each dish was amazing, and the plating was just beautiful. Our fancy burger dish was creatively made with an iron in front of us (a fun presentation!). The waiters were very nice and we enjoyed their humor.

We’ve been to a few Michelin starred restaurants, and this place was definitely one of our favorites!

Amazing experience. Excellent food and warm professional service 10/10. So many small surprises and amuse bouche offered. A highlight of our 2 week vacation in Italy. It is obvious that the owner loves their customers.

Disappointing Experience - Style Over Substance

I had high hopes for this Michelin restaurant in Sirmione, but sadly, the experience was marred by poor service and a lack of warmth—both figuratively and literally.

We arrived just 10 minutes early for our reservation and were refused entry, despite the restaurant being nearly empty with only one other table seated. Instead, we were left standing in the cold until exactly 7:30 p.m. before the head waiter finally seated us. His attitude, along with another waiter’s, was consistently brusque and borderline rude throughout the meal. Thankfully, the lady waitress who primarily served us was friendly, which somewhat salvaged the evening.

The food itself was mostly good, as was the wine, except for the initial welcome dish. Despite specifically requesting no raw fish, we were served some anyway—cold, bland, and completely forgettable. The service was frustratingly slow, with our bottle of wine taking 35 minutes to arrive and drinks orders neglected despite the restaurant being mostly empty.

To cap it off, after finishing our meal, we had to wait a full 25 minutes for someone to bring us the bill. No one checked in with us, and we struggled to get anyone’s attention. When the bill finally arrived, the discount we were promised (for booking directly with the restaurant through our hotel) was mysteriously missing. It was a frustrating end to what should have been an enjoyable evening.

On top of the service issues, the restaurant itself was cold and lacked any real atmosphere. Even the sensor lights in the bathroom didn’t function properly, which added to the sense that this place prioritizes appearances over guest comfort.

Overall, while the food was decent, the poor service and chilly ambiance completely overshadowed the meal. For a Michelin-starred restaurant, this was deeply disappointing, and I wouldn’t return or recommend it to others based on this experience.

Had a phenomenal dinner there last night 6/25/22.  We had the 5 course chef's tasting menu with a lot of additional courses.  All courses were good to great with exceptional lamb chops (the most tender we've had and addition of cheese was a surprisingly good addition.  Also sea scallop crusted in squid ink and potatoes was amazing.  All presentations were certainly stylized and added to the fun.  My wife appreciated the mini ottoman they provided for women to place their purses.  This was a memorable meal.  Luxurious (lots of truffle and one with caviar) was seafood heavy as well.  Most  diners we observed were Italian as a minor footnote to some who offered this as a 'touristy' location.  If you have the means and the time, it is worth a visit.  We'll deserved Michelin star.
