La Cambusa - MALCESINE

We visited this restaurant 4 times during our visit. Twice for lunch and twice for dinner! After our first lunch visit, we all had pizza, they were all perfect! They gave us complementary ice coffee’s! My son loved it so much we went 3 more times, he can be difficult and very fussy, so keeping him happy makes us all happy! My spaghetti with mussels was probably the best I’ve ever had! Home made spaghetti! The little fried potatoes are lovely but they’re not French fries! (I preferred them but teenagers don’t get it! After each meal they gave us either iced coffee, or Limoncello and also a glass of Prosecco! They’re generous, attentive and kind and the food is ‘lovely’.

Just simply awful. The antipasto of frutti di mare was disgusting. A tiny bowl of mussels on a platter that had butter shavings a blob of what I think were shrimps in a sauce (didn’t touch that). For our mains my partner had gnocchi with gamberi and zucchini. I had scaloppini ai porcini. They were just about edible. Sides are at an extra charge. I didn’t get any and my scaloppini were served with a splattering of carrots. It looked like canteen food. What a shame as the location is bang in the centre of Malcesine. They say you can’t eat badly in Italy. Well this belies that. Woke up some 4 times that night with an unhappy stomach. Don’t get drawn in by the full restaurant. They are all foreigners like we were. We should have noticed and moved on when we didn’t see an Italian in sight.

My wife and i ate 3 different dishes (seafood soup, lake fish, seafood spaghetti) and they were all quite tasty. friendly owner and waiters.

The manager is of an overwhelming emotion, I was walking in the square in front of the place when he convinced me to have lunch with them. with menu in the fort recommended what are the typical dishes and the specialties of the day, recommended not a couple of dishes suggesting that those were more suitable for the German palates than for the Italian ones. the first are served in copper vessels, in abundant portions. all pasta are homemade. well also the picce, although personally I recommend a good first with the fish of the lake. at the end of the meal offer you a delicious coffee sorbet.

Sono tornata dopo un anno a Malcesine e ho voluto mangiare nel lo stesso ristorante...si mangia da Dio
