Villa Feltrinelli

Dinner at this two-Michelin-star restaurant inside one of Lake Garda's grand historic villas starts with an aperitif in the garden, the lake catching the last light before you move inside to a single elaborate tasting menu. Vegetables are the quiet obsession here, lifted with aromatic herbs and the occasional exotic turn, while lake fish and meat fill the gaps. The wine list leans Italian, with Champagne given a generous second chair.
