Al Ristoro

Sehr modern eingerichtetes Restaurant. Direkt gegenüber vom WESTWIND.
Sehr gut aber auch sehr teuer. Die Speisekarte ist sehr vielseitig, das Essen top, die Preise leider auch!

Wow — did we get lucky! My brother and I were walking through this quaint town, just aimlessly wandering the streets — — thinking about our Grandfather’s time here 70 years ago in WWII.
And not really researching ( Unilocaling!) the restaurants too much here before hand, we got struck with hunger during our walk — — and nearly resorting to just trying any restaurant we’d find. We spoke with one local about a recommendation that we passed walking by — — he pointed us and guided us to try Ristoro. (He said it was better than the other pizzeria nearly in front of us.)
So we walked up the street and entered this contemporary and clean restaurant. We didn’t have high expectations — and just ordered some pastas. My brother risotto and me lasagne. O.M.G. — - best risotto in the world! It was unbelievable… and the lasagne (while I don’t normally eat lasagna) it was fantastic! My brother tried my lasagna and he said that it truly was the best he’s ever had. The multiple layers with various cheeses, and just enough meat and sauce. Apparently most lasagnas in the States are overloaded with meat and then it becomes overpowering. But not here — amazing!
And for as amazing as the lasagna was, the Risotto was hands-​down ridiculously awesome! (Kinda jealous that I didn’t get that plate…) I can’t remember what was all in the risotto — — but the flavors were unbelievable. Creamy, cheesy… just a plate of heaven! We ate at a lot of amazing restaurants — –and this risotto plate was the best dish ever!
Service was extremely friendly — — and this place was hopping with the locals! Steady stream of local business people dining here for lunch. We definitely knew we made the right choice to listen to the gentleman on the street. Sometimes you can get real lucky!
They spoke fine English with us — –so no issues there. But one of the restaurant employees, perhaps he was a manager??, was chatting with us about some real cool Facebook sites on Malcesine that we could use in our research for our Grandpa’s WWII time. So there’s a FB page «Malcesine d’Altra Tiempo» — — wow! What amazing vintage photos… we would never had learned this, had we not stepped foot in here.
AMAZING pastas– great service — — clean, updated restaurant popular with the local business people.
