Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was hands down our favourite restaurant in desenzano. Staff were exceptional and even gave good wine recommendations and were very attentive. The sharing platters were amazing and just a great vibe with this restaurant.

We walked past this restaurant and decided to book a table so glad that we did. The food and service were very good. We ate the beef and mash with a side of vegetables, and the spaghetti with seafood both were flavourful, and the wine...was great too. Definitely recommend.More

This place is a hidden gem in an otherwise very touristy area. The food and wine were delicious and very reasonable and the service was great

This restaurant was recommended by our hotel and with good reason! We were looking for a fish restaurant and the fish here was certainly very good, although it is not exclusively a fish restaurant. Atmosphere was very congenial - no intrusive music and the staff...were very helpful and pleasant. Although it's bigger than it looks from the outside, it seemed to be very busy, so booking is recommended. Also serves at lunch time.More

Our food was delicious and service was prompt! We did not have a reservation but the servers made room for us. Definitely get the fish pasta and the grated trout second course - we finished everything!

Definitly one of the nicer restaurants in Desengano but not over-priced. Good staff and service. Great choice on menu. You should book. Would go again.

We had to book 24hrs in advance as the first night we decided to eat here it was fully booked. Good menu, quite a mix of seafood and meats as well as pasta etc. I had the Iberian piglet with baked potatoes and my wife...the Sea bass cooked in foil. Both good size portions and very tasty. We had the house red which was better than some more upmarket wines you would pay a lot more for. Location is good for people watching. Staff very friendly and attentive and the whole meal was very reasonably priced. If we were staying longer would definitely eat here again, so next time then.More

We visited Desenzano recently and found la taverna. We loved the food and ate there twice. This establishment has a chef producing some very nice authentic italian food. Prices are good considering the quality. No complaints. Well done

This became our favourite place to eat. Lots of choice and reasonably priced. Mostly based on local dishes, the pork dish being my favourite. Service is friendly and good. Home made dessert delicious too.

We decided to go there based on great reviews seen on google. Well I do not know where they came from. The food is overpriced and really blend. Pasta with fish had no taste and I even needed to salt it. To find the fish...you would have to use a microscope. House white was worst than wine in a carton that you can buy in any supermarket for less than 2€.More
