“ Just eaten the best vegetarian food in Garda Service amazing, very clean would highly recommend you book this if you’re staying in Gorda very different from your usual ones on the lake front Massive thank you to the chef for the vegetarian food :) ”
“ Everything in our fish set menu was great,very tasteful and elegantly arranged, also well balanced and served with very pleasant attitude from the owner (or chef) of the trattoria. We highly recommend. ”
“ We had a wonderful evening here. There is no menu. Simply choose seafood or meat and you’ll spend the next 2 hours enjoying 9 plates of food. The seafood is the better option. For €40 you get all the food and you also get a bottle of wine and water too! The food was very good, but not exceptional. ”
“ I had another brilliant meal at this restaurant, where the owners produce everything themselves. Every morning, they go to the market to select fresh fish and meat to finish the dish. They offer a six-course tasting menu, allowing you to choose from fish, meat, or vegetarian. The price of £40 includes half a bottle of wine and water per person. The fish is their specialty. It's a fantastic concept, and the execution is excellent. ”
“ We spent 4 days in Garda and this town was amazing but we searched for a great place to eat that wasn’t a tourist trap. Don’t get me wrong, yes all the food in Garda is amazing, but some of the places along the water felt like they wanted you out as fast as they wanted you in and the food felt overpriced. Not here, not at Al Graspo. The service was excellent, the hospitality amazing and the food was spectacular. They had a set menu that just kept coming. I had the meat option and my partner had the fish and the plates got better and better every time. We felt so well fed and taken care of. If you are looking for a place in Garda which is not full of the masses of tourist with amazing food and great variety in the dishes come here ASAP. ”
“ Charming staff, excellent food -we had the 5 course meal. Traffic noise was a bit loud outside, but the restaurant ambience was fine. ”
“ Absolutely outstanding! A fantastic family run restaurant that is not the usual tourist trap where they want you in and out quickly. Their menu is for slowly taking in the experience of the outstandingly prepared and very tasty food. It is an experience rather than just eating. On this occasion we had the seafood tasting menu and the food kept coming. Generous portions that we could not eat all of it. The very charming and friendly staff make this restaurant’s authentic family feel they genuinely care that you enjoy the experience. Ercola made us feel like the most important people in the place, what a beautiful and genuine man I wish him all the best. We learned that this restaurant has local bio suppliers so that you can be assured of quality local ingredients which shine through with every morsel. They were even able to cater for us with a gluten free menu. Bravissimo! mia moglie dice che è un orgasmo gustativo! We plan to be back for the meat tasting menu in a couple of days! ”
