Il Rivale - PADENGHE SUL GARDA

We returned after the tremendous experience last year attracted by the reviews (in my opinion unfairly) flattering. The position, like the last time, is the only thing I save. Unfortunately the service is mediocre and the kitchen is even worse. after saying that I was pregnant and advised not to add anything raw, I was served a dish of octopus paste with so many shoots. I had to send him back to the kitchen, and I had to eat alone, since I asked him to come with the other ladies, but apparently it was not possible. I was served with wine when I had specified that I would not drink, at the end of the meal the waiter tried to collect the crumbs from the table with a spoon and the coffees that we had to bring them to the counter, since after 15 minutes from the ordination no one had yet made alive. when it comes to food, absolutely not suitable for the price. mediocre level, for some dishes also very low, like scallops (difficult and covered by a horrid pastry,) gratined scampi (sipidi and soft) the pulp of octopus (salsa di mesh, salt that knew only of walnut). the most good dishes were the anchovies of the cantabrico, the ricotta dish and the Florentine, things on which you can certainly not evaluate the chef, since the first two are not even cooked. Crazy prices compared to the really low level of dishes. it is not enough to put external shoots or edibles in the dish to give it the structure. place for people who love to eat badly and have a mediocre service, you probably do not benefit from attending restaurants that you can define such (and unfortunately you notice).

I would say very good quality/price . I enjoyed all the courses , but above all the dessert . a cake of roses top the location is really beautiful , especially if you are outdoors, in the park that from the lake . I will definitely go!

Cute restaurant, friendly but not expanded even if you try to make a joke or look for dialogue rub it on the birth,) the food for the price paid and mediocre state, nothing exceptional for a restaurant with that fame. and eventually they have such a ruined cutlery service that seems to have not changed it for 30 years. the only known 5 stars location view of the lake.

I have been to the rival many times and I personally consider it one of the best restaurants in the area. My friends and I always had a great time both for aperitif and dinner. highly recommended.

I went on Sunday to say great in everything. the food of high quality flavors and indescribable goto staff of friendly friendly kind room but especially prepared on the dishes they served. I'll definitely come back. recommended
