- How far is the restaurant from the dock? All mentioned restaurants are no more than 50 meters from the dock.

Ristorante al Sogno (San Felice)

Our top pick is "Il Sogno" in San Felice del Benaco, located on a lakeside terrace with postcard views of San Biagio Island and the Rocca di Manerba. A peaceful, non-touristy spot where you can enjoy a relaxing dinner to the sound of gentle waves.
Villa Fiordaliso (Gardone)

At "Villa Fiordaliso" in Gardone Riviera, you’ll savor a piece of history—this villa once belonged to Mussolini’s lover, Petacci. A serene lakefront restaurant, accessible by passing beautiful Liberty-style villas and the unique San Marco tower.
Lido 84 (Fasano)

The Michelin-starred "Lido 84" is ranked among the world’s top 10 restaurants (7th in 2023, according to The 50 Bestguide). A must-visit for an extraordinary culinary experience. Be aware: the summer waiting list is 3–4 months long.

A historic restaurant featuring traditional lake cuisine. In this quaint village, the local "Luccio alla Portesina" (pike dish) was invented around 1800. Dine under magical magnolia trees and enjoy authentic local flavors.
Da Rino (Manerba)

Famed for inventing "Tagliolini al Coregone", a dish using a typical northern Italian lake fish that’s becoming rare. Located right at Manerba’s port—perfect for a notable lunch and a stroll to nearby San Biagio Island (also known as Rabbit Island).
San Vigilio (Garda)

This intimate restaurant boasts the best location on Lake Garda. Punta San Vigilio is a gem within a 16th-century monastery, perfect for capturing the lake’s most beautiful sunsets. Downside: it gets crowded at lunchtime and during summer afternoons, but evenings are quieter.
