Went here as it stays open later for lunch than most other restaurants in Bardolino (3pm vs 2pm). Glad we did. Friendliest owner ever who took the time to talk about the menu and make small talk with the family. Amazing antipasti of fresh mozzarella with Parma ham. Mozzarella was one of the best I've ever tried, while the ham... More

From the road its easy to miss because of its small size but don't let this fool you, through the back is a lovely sitting garden with big unmbrellas for shade and bannana trees (which if you stare at long enough you can see them grow). When you enter the building you are greeted with an array of history, the... More

The guy who greeted us was wonderful he could speak english and went through the menu explaining everything. He had travelled and had worked in London. This was the best food we had had all holiday. Good value and lots of it.

Came across this restuarant by accident and it was so good we came back three times.Very simple menu well executed- cracking caprese with the best mozzarella-sliced beef with peppercorns and an excellent crime brûlée- take me back now! The staff went out of their way to ensure everything was perfect - Highly recommended

So we did – antipasto, primi, secondi and dolci. There... More

The Fish is Excellent together with the service and quality certainly worth a visit Reccomend the smoked trout

Just returned from a trip to the Garda Lake. Of the 10 days we had dinner at Al Capitel 5 times. The thing that makes them different is that they have an original menu that is different from all the restaurants at the lake, who more or less all serve the same. Next to that the staff is able to... More

Having had enough of the touristy restaurants in all the lakeside resorts, we asked a local for a recommendation and Al Capitel did not disappoint. This is truly a local experience and we were pleased to see a menu which did NOT contain pizza. We were given a complimentary glass of Prosecco on arrival which was nice touch. We dined... More

This is by far the best restaurant that we have visited in Bardolino. Friendly and authentic with food that is out of this world. Many previous reviewers mention that they discovered it at the end of their holiday and usually on their last night. Don’t make this mistake; make it your first visit , and as we did, you will... More
