Antico Trattoria Delle Rose
Salò’s best restaurant is without a doubt Antico Trattoria Delle Rose, a casually elegant spot in town, which is as likely to be filled with locals having a family meal as well-heeled visitors. Guests can dine in the main dining room, but the charming backyard terrace is the preferred spot to feast on uber-fresh cuisine, including everything from lakefish with soft polenta to homemade tortelli filled with local cheese and scented with thyme. Children are taken care of as well; picky eaters can order a simple bowl of pasta.
La Tortuga
Opened in the late 1960s, this one-Michelin-starred restaurant is the big night out option in Gargnano. Diners can choose between two tasting menus or opt for the à la carte menu, which includes elevating but comforting dishes like a lemon risotto for two and lamb with rosemary and thyme. La Tortuga is a destination restaurant, and worth working into every trip to Garda.
Trattoria Riolet Ernesto
After driving up a maze of impossibly narrow streets, Riolet is revealed at the top of a charming village on the Gardone Riviera. This family-run haunt is a favorite among locals (and in-the-know visitors) for simple cuisine and a homey atmosphere; for those who have visited, it will come as no surprise that the titular Ernesto has been manning the indoor grill for decades. The patio seating is no-frills, with white plastic chairs and checkered tablecloths, and the cuisine is similarly straightforward; grilled meats and fish and homemade pasta are the house specialties. And while the drive to the restaurant is daunting, those brave enough to tackle the hairpin turns are rewarded with stunning views of Isola del Garda and the lake below.
