Where fish from the sea and the lake marries the romance of the port of Castelleto
What we think
Although specializing in fish, both from the sea and from the lake, the signature dish is lasagne. The secret recipe has been handed down through the generation and it really is fantastic. I don’t usually order lasagne in restaurants but I drive over an hour to taste this one. It is a sharing dish so you either need to make sure whoever you’re with orders it with you, unless of course you have a massive appetite.
The only problem is that all the food on the menu is fantastic so I guess I’ll just have to keep going back.
There are also daily special, usually of fresh fish…..but I suppose it’s too much to go back every day.
The service is impeccable, and the restaurants philosophy prevails. After your first visit the waiters and the owner Luca will seem like best friends, you’ll be wanting to go back just to visit them.
Check out the Menu.
Our favourite dish-Lasagna, Gnocchi di granchio (Gnocchi in crab sauce)

The Philosophy
Hospitality, kindness, protection of the territory and its traditions are a few simple words but full of meaning; how simple is that fresh warm bread every morning, as the traditional egg pasta that seasoned only with a drop of olive oil as the courteous and sincere smile that will welcome you every day.
Keeping alive all this is our small but great goal.

[…] decided to do something different…..we drove up to Malcesine, then stopped off for lunch at Ristorante di Umberto in Castelletto di Brenzone. This is what some of the guys had to […]
Went to Ristorante di Umberto after Roy and Mari-Lyn recommended it and it was well worth it. Lunch was superb with really friendly staff, fantastic food and great service. All four of us had Lasagne and agree with the praise that it get – excellent and highly recommend it. When we come back to Lake Garda we will certainly be visiting again.
Ciao David, we are so glad you liked it……hope you come back soon.
We ate at this restaurant twice during a week’s holiday at Lake Garda. On both occasions we found the food delicious and the staff very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!
