Da Ivan In Almenno san bartolomeo

01/04/2024: Lunch with friends. I only took a €20 starter recommended by the waiter, I would suggest taking more care in the explanation of the dishes so as not to make the raw material used reductive, which seemed to me to be of excellent quality but you also need to know how to enhance it with more empathy towards the customer and less encyclopedism. Octopus, prawns and scallops with sauces that were based on potatoes, beetroot and pumpkin: in my opinion a little lacking in flavour, I would have dared a little more with the flavors and spices. In conclusion, quality food but a little stiff service and an overpriced bill. 10 of us, including a 15 month old baby, had 8 starters, 7 first courses, 5 desserts, 2 bottles of wine, €65 each. Perhaps more for tourists than for the typical Italian who also seeks emotion at the table.

27/03/2024: What a great find - amazing food, very friendly staff and great location right next to the lake. The restaurant has its own parking which is a huge plus. The sea food is excellent and very fresh. We loved the octopus and the Cacio pepe al mare!
