"Situated next to the Castello Scaligero in one of the most attractive alleyways of Sirmione, la Rucola 2.0 is striking for its contemporary ambience dominated by a profusion of wood. The cuisine has the same modern feel as the decor, maintaining its creative focus over the years. Saltwater fish and seafood continue to take pride of place on the menu, which also features meat and freshwater fish options. The formula here focuses on tasting menus, although it is possible to choose different combinations of dishes from the à la carte." - Michelin Inspector
Excellent service and food quality. The taste of the dishes is truly inspiring, and the interior decoration is very impressive.
Although Sirmione is generally a noisy place, this restaurant is located on a quiet street, offering a peaceful atmosphere.
I truly appreciated both the service and the food, especially since I was in Sirmione to attend a conference that I didn’t particularly enjoy. Dining here allowed me to fully relax and temporarily escape from a town that I’m not fond of.

Spectacular food and staff. This place definitely deserves their Michelin star.
Each dish was amazing, and the plating was just beautiful. Our fancy burger dish was creatively made with an iron in front of us (a fun presentation!). The waiters were very nice and we enjoyed their humor.
We’ve been to a few Michelin starred restaurants, and this place was definitely one of our favorites!

We had an absolutely delightful meal here. The food was beautiful; beautiful to look at and beautiful to eat, nothing disappointed us at all.
Some of the highlights of an unbelievably good meal were the courgettes pieces on one of the entrees which were just delightful and so tasty; another was one of the puddings a tiny lemon meringue pie with an enormous flavour that filled one's mouth as if it had taken a large bite of a big pie.
The service was perfection even by the very high Italian standards, which never fail to please, it is an art that has reached its zenith here.
It only remains for me to thank everyone at La Rucola, both front of house and the magicians in the kitchen, (and Casa Scaligeri for their recommendation and arrangement) for a truly memorable evening for all the right reasons.

It was a fun experience, although the box opening ceremony was my least favourite part. Food itself was just amazing, especially the desserts. Restaurant seems to be very spacious and romantic, despite being in the rather small old building. Staff was very nice maybe bit too official, the lady with glasses is the best ☺️
The pieces were unexpectedly conversation starters and we had an amazing time, can't say it was not worth the money.

Had a phenomenal dinner there last night 6/25/22. We had the 5 course chef's tasting menu with a lot of additional courses. All courses were good to great with exceptional lamb chops (the most tender we've had and addition of cheese was a surprisingly good addition. Also sea scallop crusted in squid ink and potatoes was amazing. All presentations were certainly stylized and added to the fun. My wife appreciated the mini ottoman they provided for women to place their purses. This was a memorable meal. Luxurious (lots of truffle and one with caviar) was seafood heavy as well. Most diners we observed were Italian as a minor footnote to some who offered this as a 'touristy' location. If you have the means and the time, it is worth a visit. We'll deserved Michelin star.

Amazing experience. Excellent food and warm professional service 10/10. So many small surprises and amuse bouche offered. A highlight of our 2 week vacation in Italy. It is obvious that the owner loves their customers.

The overall experience was good
When we booked for the same evening we were only asked for allergies but not for dietary preferences. When we arrived the matre d wasn't flexible at all and forced us to choose the a la carte menu since one of us was vegetarian and we didn't want to choose vegetarian menu for the entire table (4p). I never encountered such inflexibility in restaurants of the same standart.
Nevertheless, our waiter was EXCELLENT! Extremely kind, professional and funny. Most definitely made our experience better.
The food was great. Even the 'simple' dishes tasted very good and the portions were much larger than expected.

In the beautiful but touristic village of Sirmione, hidden in a small street one can find this restaurant. Very cosy place, excellent staff. When it comes to the food, it was very good even if, to be honest, I had perhaps better memories in other one star ⭐️ Michelin restaurants around the globe. Give it for sure a try, you will like it.
