The Best Seafood Near Romeo, by the Record





  1. A Michelin-starred dining room perched above Lake Garda, where the terrace alone is worth the drive out to Manerba. The chef keeps things rooted in seafood and classic technique rather than chasing trends, which the regulars in their good linen clearly appreciate. The wine list leans hard into Champagne and German Rieslings, a flex that feels exactly right here. Dress up a little; this is a proper grown-up dinner.



  2. Rank 7. Alla Fassa

    Italian Contemporary Seafood

    A cycle path is all that stands between the terrace and Lake Garda, which means a warm evening here involves a quiet negotiation for the outdoor tables. This is a lakeside restaurant leaning heavily into fish, split between local catch from the water you're practically sitting in and seafood from the coast. The kitchen balances the classic and the contemporary without making a fuss about it. A handful of guestrooms upstairs, all with lake views, if you'd rather not leave.




  3. The panoramic veranda hangs over the Torbole lakefront, which makes the lake-fish focus feel less like a concept and more like the obvious thing to do. This is a small, polished restaurant where the cooking leans on freshwater catches and local produce, with a tasting menu built around the lake and an à la carte that lets the land and garden join in. The spaghetti with freshwater prawns, ginger, and lime has a following.


  4. Rank 11. Maragoncello

    Mediterranean Seafood


  5. Rank 12. La Filanda

    Modern Seafood


  6. Sandrigo is the town that gave the world the bacalà alla vicentina festival, so it makes sense that a restaurant here has built its entire identity around cod. Palmerino serves the fish plain, salted, and dried, with the house centerpiece being that same local classic, made with stoccafisso despite what the name implies. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, the menu adds other seafood and a few meat dishes for the unconvinced.



  7. Rank 15. La Porta Antica

    Contemporary Seafood


  8. Rank 16. I Mori

    Seafood


  9. Rank 17. Claudio Ristorante

    Mediterranean Seafood


  10. Up a floor in a palazzo along a porticoed alley in the pedestrian center, Belle Parti is the kind of classic seafood restaurant that makes you feel you've wandered into someone's very tasteful dining room. Exposed beams, paintings, and mirrors compete handsomely for your attention, and the seasonal menu leans toward the Adriatic, with a few good meat options for the table's dissenter.



  11. Rank 20. Il Baretto

    Venetian Seafood


  12. Rank 21. Ca' 7

    Seafood


  13. Rank 22. Momento al 25

    Italian Seafood
