Grilled or baked lake sardines from Garda, prized for their rich flavour and long local preserving tradition around the lake.
Freshwater fish, usually tench or pike, gently cooked with olive oil, herbs and Garda flavours; a classic lakeside main course.
Fresh pasta ribbons traditionally served with slow-cooked duck ragù, a hearty inland Lombard and Veronese dish common around Lake Garda.
