Imagine being on the lakefront. The first aroma that greets you is the unmistakable one of light soffritto and freshwater fish emerging from the trattorias. Here, whitefish is the king of the lake, treated with respect by the expert hands of those who have cooked these recipes for generations.
Savoring “Anguilla alla Vernaccia”—also mentioned in the Divine Comedy—is a must, as is the authentic flavor of vegetables from the local gardens, “scatolone” tomatoes, perhaps accompanied by a glass of Est! Est!! Est!!!.
Eating in one of these restaurants means indulging in a slow and precious ritual, trusting in the hospitality of restaurateurs who transform each course into a tale of the region. A sensory experience, a perfect moment where taste meets the beauty of the place, leaving you with an indelible memory.
