The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The best restaurant I have been to for a long time (and I've been to lots).

One of four restaurants we tried on our recent trip to Malcesine. The service and food here is of top quality. The fresh fish is fantastic and the pasta all homemade and truly excellent. Our experience of restaurants in Malcesine is that Trip Advisor ranking seems to be quite accurate. Al Gondollere is deservedly near the top.

My fiance and I visited Ristorante Al Gondoliere twice while staying in Malcesine in the September of 2012. We discovered it almost by chance after a painfully difficult evening of trying to find somewhere to eat, and to say we were pleasantly surprised would be a great disservice to this wonderful ristorante. The setting was unusual (and I love unusual).... More

We visited Al Gondoliere twice while on our honeymoon in June 2012. The first time we were wondering around looking at various menus when my husband spotted this little place almost hidden away up some stairs.

It's been our second visit to Gondoliere and it's been a lovely experience again. The food was beautiful and the service is very professional. Recommend booking as they are a popular and busy place. Most of the sitting area is on the terrace which makes the experience even more of a joy.

This was the culinary highlight of our week in Italy. My wife and I enjoyed great service and great food. The owner was so attentive and informative about the wine and food. It was busy and we had to wait a few minutes before being seated but we felt special and were treated to the terrace view over the square.... More

On our last day in Malcesine we were looking for somewhere to enjoy our last lunch. The inviting terrace and poster on the outside of the restaurant encouraged us to go in. There were six of us, we were given a very warm welcome and very quickly tables were moved to allow us to sit together. Arsenio and Valentina were... More

We arrived at Al Gondoliere at around 730pm on a busy Saturday evening, but were greeted warmly and seated within 5 minutes. From the start our server was excellent, clearly busy but we were never hurried throughout, he was attentive and took time to talk through any queries over the menu we had. The food was easily the highest quality... More

Great food and Arsenio owner and waiter even gave my wife the milk jug in the shape of a cow to bring home. We really enjoyed the whole experience.
