Ristorante Il Saraceno

I went there Friday for lunch with four friends. We had the seven course tasting menu with wine pairing, which included five snacks and three petit fours. Overall the food was at a high level, but with a miss or two along the way. We felt that the scallop dish with porcini mushroom and the dish with prawns and julienne vegetables missed the mark a little bit compared to the other dishes. Everything else was really enjoyable, but I would like to highlight the crispy prawn snack with soffrito sauce, the lemon risotto with prawns and dried fish, the "carbonara" with lobster and caviar and some of the moments on the raw fish plate, especially the anchovies with soy and yuzu. Really amazing food accompanied with great bread and the best grissini we ever tasted. The dessert was playful and an amazing end to a wonderful lunch. Moving along to the wine selection. What a spectacular journey and pairing to the dishes. The sommelier was outstanding. Very friendly and knowledgeable. One of the joys of fine dining is tasting wines you otherwise would not encounter and he was great at explaining what we had in our glasses and why it fitted the food. When you pay 200€ for a lunch it's nice that you don't feel the sommelier measuring every ml in the glass, but allows to get a bit extra of the wines we really enjoyed. Great guy. They weren't very busy, but it was perfect for us as we could indulge in the food and wine helped along by great service of the entire staff. We would highly recommend this restaurant.

Was the first time for us in such ad high-level restaurant. They have one Michelin Star and I understand why! Starting with the location, elegant rooms not very big with attention to details. Everything was very very clean. Super kind and gentle staff, they are all very professional and prepared to answer you questions and requests. The food... UNBELIEVABLE. I've never seen something prepared with this attention, everything was amazing, balanced in the taste, neither too much quantity nor too little. Prices are in line with the quality offered. Absolutely recommended.

My husband and I had a delightful experience at Ristorante Il Saraceno. The service was exceptional, with staff who were not only knowledgeable but also attentive, even helping me translate the menu as I’m still learning Italian. The food was a perfect blend of flavors, each dish carefully crafted to ensure none overshadowed the others. The chefs truly understand balance, creating a memorable culinary journey. The dessert was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, a true feast for both the eyes and the palate. Overall, it was a beautiful experience. I look forward to returning next time I’m in town to try more dishes.

I enjoyed the experience but the testing menu was not consistent in quality and sometimes too innovative without leaving a new taste experience

'Ristorante Il Saraceno' is a great Michelin starred restaurant in Cavernago. The restaurant is really specialised on fish. Strongly advised the fish starter. The chef is also serving appetizers here and there. The atmosphere is really charming and relaxing, and the chef is coming and greeting each guest. Reservations can be done also at very short notice. Of course the bill is not cheap, but the experience is really worthwhile.

service was atrocious, chips cost €6 but they came out with about 10 on the plate and were barely cooked. don't order the carbonara unless you want ham fat instead of the actual meat. not worth it

Always a great experience

Magnifico ! Very cozy, super Nice staff and the food was simple amazing...
