Al Boccondivino - SIRMIONE

Beautiful. really good and authentic food. friendly staff.

We had dinner in this small restaurant a little sheltered by the tourist bolgia and the wind of the evening. all very good, an appetizer of eggplants, homemade tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms and tasty tortellini. good and with prices below the local average.

I and my boyfriend were at dinner by chance, but it was a nice discovery. I ordered a really but really good cheek, also the dessert and the excellent wine. very nice and welcoming place.

Lovely little trattoria, difficult to get a table, service is slow and relaxed which is what we wanted. No rush to get people out hence the wait for the table. We had bread provided, we drank the local white wine by the ltr which was soft and refreshing, no bitterness. We ordered a carbonara and a bolognese, the carbonara was absolutely packed with flavour, utterly different to what we have in the UK and the bolognese was delicate yet distinct in flavour. Pasta for both dishes tasted incredibly fresh and I wouldn't be surprised if it were home made by the establishment. We also shared a portion of bruschetta which was fresh and mouth wateringly moreish. Reading other reviews i don't understand what people quite expect, the portions are on the small side, which is traditional in Italy where many courses can be ordered but the emphasis is very much on flavour and quality. If you want fast food, don't come here, this place is for relaxing, enjoying the area, the company you are dining with and the food itself. On th prices, we found them to be cheaper than the tourist traps at the front of Sirmione by quite some distance.

Very nice owner. large dining environment.
