"Located in the historic centre of an attractive village by the lake, this restaurant is a good option for anyone wanting to try Umbrian cuisine. Dishes made from freshwater fish (pike, carp, tench, eel and crayfish), as well as the famous beans from Lake Trasimeno and meat such as lamb and wild boar, take pride of place on the menu." - Michelin Inspector
Where to Eat, Stay, and Play in Umbria—The 'Green Heart of Italy'
"There are also stellar culinary experiences outside the city center that simply must be tried: Castiglione del Lago's L'Acquario, is an excellent osteria with a well-rounded cellar serving some showstopping dishes like pici with goose sauce and chitarrini with smoked tench."
Smallish portions but well worth it. The food is tasty and the restaurant is not a tourist trap like other places on the same street. Full of locals and the servers were super nice. Many vegetarian options.

Exquisite food. I ordered the salmon tartare and the prawn gnocchi. The portions were small but the taste and presentation were superb.
The only item that I felt could be improved was the lemon sorbet. In my opinion, it was served lukewarm and instead should be served colder. Nevertheless, I had a positive experience overall.

This was hands down one of the highlights of my meals in Italy.
All their ingredients are sourced locally, and you can really taste how fresh the ingredients are, and how much care was put into preparing them. The service was also top notch!
If I could give this place 11/10, I would.

A nice meal. The highlights of the evening were the truffle tagliatelle and the duck pici. Everything else was just okay. The steak was a bit disappointing on the cook and flavour.

Absolutely outstanding. Carp is a very common fish in Asia and Australia, and this was the best carp I have ever eaten in my life. It was prepared so expertly and beautifully. The appetiser and gnocchi were also splendid, and the waiter and owner were so friendly. Highly recommend making a detour to this town just to eat at this restaurant.

6 of us had a fabulous dinner tonight at L'Acquario
Service was exceptional and food was outstanding. Husband and wife work the tables while mamma and the two daughters are in the kitchen. We ate out on the very nice terrace while people strolled by. Pici pasta was excellent as well as the tagliente with mushrooms. Main courses of wild boar stew, osobucco and the steak were all fantastic.
Highly recommend L'Acqario. You will not be disappointed.

2 Euro Coperto für ein Eis und einen Tee :-(
Ausblick auf den See wegen dem Geländer nicht so gut wie erwartet.
Zum Kaffee Trinken viel zu teuer
