The Best Lake Garda Restaurant?Albergo Ristorante La Forgia via Calle I, 26 Lazise (VR)
Forgia means forge and the name originates from an ancient forge once located here that serves now as the grill. The Forgia is a family run restaurant with friendly and efficient service. We always visit Lazise in the spring or summer and if you visit during this period ask for one of the tables outside, on the covered verandah, where you can enjoy the view and savour the lakeside atmosphere. What to eat? Ideally I would suggest you try the local seafood caught fresh from the lake – a great dish is the Zuppa di Pesce (Seafood Soup) made fresh with whatever the local fisherman have caught that day. The risottos are another excellent choice and the Risotto all Tinca is a local speciality. They do it superbly here - normally a minimum of two people need to order though. If you don't fancy fish then try one of their steaks cooked on the forge. Their homemade pasta dishes are another good option. Ask the restaurant for ideas on which local wine would match your order – some of the wines from the area around Lazise are superb. Prices are perhaps a little on the high side but in our opinion the atmosphere, attentive service and good food make up for it. Lazise is fortunately blessed with a number of good places to eat. The Ristorante Botticelli, Ristorante Doana and the Oreste are much on a par with the Forgia and are well worth visiting if you are in Lazise for any length of time.
