Our guide suggested this restaurant for lunch.  Wow!  Totally impressed with the cuisine, service, and view.  We ate on the terrace.  First we had a tour of the wine cellar which is like nothing I’ve ever seen and includes an eclectic collection of wine related items.  We did a wine pairing with our lunch and loved it.  I had the scallops with pistachios, avocado and bacon.  My other half had fettuccine with boneless rabbit and figs in a cream sauce.  Out of this world!  Matteo and his staff are top notch.  Highly recommend!

We had a very good lunch here with a very nice view to the lake. We had Octopus tentacles and Cacio e Pepe pasta. Both of them were delighful. In addition, we tried a white wine from their vast wines collection. Very good as well, fruity taste. You can take a tour in the cellar to admire the wines collection through the many tunnels.

The best restaurant experience in my life.
First of all, im very harsh with critique and always find something to comment on. But against all odds, this place... wow, impeccable service, impeccable food, impeccable atmosphere. Lovely staff. I visited one week ago, and it was worth every penny. I ate pasta alla carbonaro(if i recall) it was the best pasta in my life. And then i ate lamb, which is the second best meat dish i have ever eaten in my life. The desert was also fabulous, some chocolate sphere with pistacho mousse. And ocourse, stunning view 🤩. 5/5
