A family affair dating back to 1912, it owes its renown to the house recipes passed on to new generations and still written on the locanda menu. The locanda is located just a stone's throw from the lakeshore, in an old mansion that has retained its charm of yesteryear. In front of the entrance, under old lime trees, a pretty terrace with a few tables to enjoy the fine weather. It's the ideal setting for discovering La Casa' s fish and meat specialties. All food is exclusively local and regional!

The food tasted fine and there were some nice options. However, the portions were, even for primi piatti, quite small. Some ingredients mentioned on the menu were used sparsely (one olive for a dish described as „with olives“). And regarding the price, the meals were not as good as one might expect for this price range. One exception was the thyme creme dessert, which was excellent.
