Lovely array of old family photos demonstrating the history of the restaurant dating back to 1930’s. Would be our first choice restaurant if we come back.

Yes, it could have been an five star location in the 80ths for the British tourists of those days. Unfortunately times and travellers change and today this is a no-go! Old fashion dishes and tourist traps : beware of the bones in the fish they serve and of the story they tell you about the provenance of the fish (it's all coming from the lake, yeah right.. but hey, it sells. As well a waitress telling you 1 side dish is includes in the price of your main, but when you ask her to get the bill she disappears. In the beginning you wonder why, but then it all becomes clear when you get to the counter and get the bill and see that actually the sides are NOT includes in the mains. A rip off! Overall experience : a waist of our descent money! Money we work for all year to get on holidays, not to be ripped off! Never again!

In San Feliciano, da Massimo certainly has better fish. Our carp was far from fresh, the risotto was not risotto rice etc etc the only thing we liked were the fried potatoes! Staff was actually very friendly even allowing our dog in but food just not good enough. Un peccato..

Nice place with great service and local cuisine. I ate their traditional Trasimeno soup made from fish caught in the lake and it was very tasty. read more Nice place with great service and local cuisine.

With coffee they brought little sweets. However it is quite expensive for such small portions. The place itself is full of dead bodies of animals and photos of hunting .... just ugly
