Ristorante Del Pescatore

I had lunch with a big group (25pp) on a Saturday. We had booked several days in advance but they were terribly short staffed, with only one waiter available for serving our table. Service was very slow (we waited 40 min for the 1st course, though it was a set menu booked in advance, and we arrived on time). The risotto was ok, they did two rounds with that. The second "primo" was delicious gnocchi with porcini mushrooms and cured pork belly but they served it a bit sparingly and did not do a second round. They served two types of roasted meats, one was very tender but quite fatty (veal or pork) while the other was a leaner and more gamey beef cut, though well flavoured and properly marinated. By the time the waiter had served the meat to everyone and started serving the salad, we had long finished our meat. The dessert was a decent but not very decadent layer cake. The interior ambience and decor wasn't particularly refined or artsy, though the view on the lake is quite pretty. The local red wine served with the set menu was enjoyable. On the whole, a good choice for lunch after visiting Fiumone, but not recommended on weekends for larger groups.

I stayed with my family here end of August. A friend of mine has recommended this place both for the location and the food. The location of the trattoria is great, located right at the border of Lago di Canterno with great views on the valley. In terms of food one can choose between fish dishes and meet dishes. We tried both and the food was very good. The cusine is not a highly refind but very tasty. The owner Sando was very nice and knows how to treat guests good. The prices are very modest . Overall a perfect experience and can be recommended strongly.
