La Regata

Wonderful meal, fresh seafood and friendly staff. They really made sure we had a great experience.

Unfortunately, a Night with a Nasty Aftermath – Never Again La Regata We were really looking forward to our dinner at La Regata the Saturday evening before last. The evening started off pleasantly – the atmosphere was lovely, the service friendly, and the food truly tasted great. A small irritation was that the olive oil was removed from our table and only provided in small portions upon request – odd, but nothing to get upset about. What followed, however, was an absolute disaster. Later that night, I suddenly became seriously ill – diarrhea, severe vomiting, and fever. I was completely out of action for about 24 hours. As we’re currently on a bikepacking tour and had only eaten a small breakfast and a few energy bars that day, the link to dinner was more than obvious. For my main course, I had the trout tartare from Lake Garda (“Paccheri zafferano asparagi tartare trota”) – in hindsight, a very unfortunate choice. Before that, we were served an amuse-bouche: a small piece of fish on a dollop of mayonnaise. My partner had the tuna tartare and, luckily, was completely fine. Today, we went back to the restaurant to raise our concerns. The first reaction we received was: “That’s not possible.” No sympathy, no surprise, no concern. Then we were asked: “How many people got sick?” – as if that makes a difference. Since I was the only one affected, they eventually offered us a 50% discount on our next meal. No thank you! After some hesitation, they offered to refund the cost of only my dish – but not once during the entire conversation did anyone say a simple “sorry.” At no point were we given the feeling that the restaurant might have made a mistake. No sense of responsibility, no sincere regret – nothing. Just a defensive stance and the attempt to smooth it over with a discount. Conclusion: The evening started off well – the food was flavorful, and the service pleasant. That’s why we had chosen the restaurant in the first place – the reviews are excellent. But the way they handled a very serious health-related incident was deeply disappointing. We truly hope this was a one-off and that no other guests were affected.

Great service and great quality food. A little pricey but to be expected with the location and level of professionalism

What a surprise! Great restaurant, the waiters are really friendly and always smiling. The food really tasty with a perfect decoration. They choose and mix each ingredient at the perfection. I recommend 100% this restaurant, specially if you want at well done food ( quality price) local restaurant. My favorite dishes is the Carbonara with a fresh wine (in summer season)

The food. The wine. The location. The service. All matches Local dishes made to perfection with very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Add the terrass right on Lake Garda and you have your spot for true dolce vita If you have the chance….. try the Zyme - Kairos 🍷

Unimpressed with the food in an area that had amazing food…. My Polenta was gelatinous and had no flavor My fish sampler plate was supposed to come with the polenta and I understand mistakes are made but it seemed like a careless error Our waiter was pushy and took opposition with my displeasure of the polenta and was pretty rude in my opinion The other waiter staff were professional and attentive Hate to talk bad about a place that I’ve only been once but I noticed other tables that weren’t happy and our waiter treated them like they didn’t know what they were talking about In the end I felt like we payed way too much for the meal and wine we had Anyways, I have to say that my favorite place was Osteria 4, just down the way on the waterfront

Do not miss this place if you are in Torri for few days and look for something different. The main meals (carbonara and ribs) were 5/5 but for desserts i would go elsewhere. The tiramisu is not sweet enough and quite dry as it was pre-prepared in a glass. Chocolate sufle was ok but missing some sour side sauce like raspberies or ribes purre. The desserts are served with soup spoon which i found ridiculous. The main problem seemed to be the waitors capacities as the restaurant got crowded the waiting times were ridiculously long and each time another waitor came to our table. Always nice and professional but quite not around when you need them.

Amazing date night experience! Beautiful ambiance, delicious food and very sweet staff. Thanks for such a great night.
