"One of Italy’s long-established restaurants, the Esplanade has been a proud holder of a Michelin star since 1992 and is so renowned among food-lovers that its name is practically synonymous with that of Desenzano del Garda. Boasting a superb location alongside the lake, from which it is separated only by its own garden (the summer outdoor space is delightful), it is equally famous for its top-quality cuisine. The menu is one of the most extensive (at this level) in Italy, with an equal balance of meat and fish, and Italian and regional dishes prepared using mainly seasonal ingredients – this is classic Italian cuisine that does not stray too far from its traditional roots yet with delicate modern touches added by chef Massimo Fezzardi. The dining room, where the attentive service is as precise as a metronome, is overseen by two superb characters, namely Marzio Lee Vallio, the sommelier who won the 2024 Michelin Guide Italy Sommelier Award, and the exuberant and flawless Emanuele Signorini, a true professional whose friendly manner is contagious." - Michelin Inspector

Not so impressed by the food. There are some things which are tasty - like the octopus and beef. But things like pasta (we ordered 4 different types) are tasteless. It’s a shame in Italy where most of the restaurants prepare very delicious pasta here is just excellent presentation and nothing special as flavour. Desserts are again - well presented and nothing special as taste. The wine is perfect! The service is perfect. The men waiters are immaculate!

We flew from Dubai to Italy. On the way to Rimini we decided to stop for lunch, I found this restaurant on the map - it was close to the main highway, we were delighted. The first restaurant in Italy that really impressed. Great location by the water, beautiful view, great service, and very, very tasty food. We are used to the fact that after Dubai nothing can surprise us, but here it is just beyond words. I highly recommend it!

This was one of the best meals we had in Northern Italy. Great attitudes. Accommodated allergies with ease and comfort. Food was delicious and fresh. Staff speaks many, many languages. Very impressive place. Would return!

Lovely restaurant with incredible dishes and a wide variety of wines, which are priced very fairly. For anyone, there will be a good wine, whether you are looking to spend big or small. I liked the fact that there wasn’t a wine pairing, but you would choose one or several bottles yourself. Of course, the sommelier had some excellent recommendations based on our budget. One dish that really stood out for me was the prawn tartare. The flavours were very rich, though balanced. Generally, all dishes were very colourful and with tremendous flavours. The dessert included arugula ice cream, which had a very special and beautiful taste. Very unusual for ice cream, but brilliantly found. We had dinner on a day with rough weather, which provided a special lake view, even when it got dark. I definitely recommend this restaurant to others: great flavours at fair prices.

Delicious food and high level service. We came here just in occasion, on our way from Dolomites to Milan, wishing to see the beautiful Garda lake. The view to the lake is wonderful. I just felt inappropriate dressed in my sportswear looking at the staff in snow-white shirts and strict suits. Expensive, but worth to visit.
