One of my top 3 meals in Italy during my month long trip. Everything was perfect from my arrival at the restaurant until I left. I am a solo traveler, I had a very nice table in the front dining room not far from the door. The waiters were very nice and very helpful in answering my queries. This restaurant made the Michelin Bib Gourmand for a few years already including 2023.
I ordered the declination of the lake as an appetizer (Assaggi di Lago), it is composed of 6 to 7 little appetizers made from local fish except one which was made with olives. I had to start with the one in the middle then go to the one at 12 o’clock and go around clockwise and finish at 11 o’clock with the last bite. It was very good, although the last one was my least favorite, it was eel.
For my main course I had the Tegamaccio, a fish soup featuring local fish and crayfish. It was also very good, beware there were some fishbones as we are talking about local lake fish.
For dessert, I opted for the variation on a strawberry millefeuille with chantilly cream. Just WOW!!!! The presentation and the taste was amazing. It is really a variation, do not expect a French millefeuille pastry.
To top it all, I tried the dessert wine they make, the Ippocrasso, it was a sweet and spicy wine, I loved it so much, I bought a bottle to bring back with me to Siena to share with the Italian family I was living with while attending classes in Siena.
I also would like to mention that beside my table, there were a few books they make annually featuring the team behind the success of that restaurant. You can see some candid moments, the garden, some of the plates they prepared and read a few snippets about them. As mentioned, I was on my own at that restaurant, that kept me entertained and they were beautifully made.
I highly recommend L’Acquario for a different culinary experience in Italy.
