A nice palace in the heart of the city. Offers great views of the lake and I believe they sometimes do concerts there. Free entry completely and you can walk right in. The palace was built in the eleventh century and was then bought by a wealthy Italian family. It’s now publicly available for entry. There’s free nearby parking also.

Nice and quiet place, botanic art, with entrance to the lake.

Lovely gardens to visit. This is free to go into and has beautiful flowers and a small garden you can walk around. Would highly recommend a visit here when touring Malcesine.

We had a lovely day walking through the gardens and admiring the beautiful views of Lake Garda. The building was very interesting and I particularly liked the the painted ceilings, etc. I would like to visit again.

A beautiful house at the center of Malcesine and by the sea, with a small garden that you can visit for free. During the summer it also hosts events like photo exhibitions, painting etc. A recommended visit if you find yourselves in Malcesine.

Stunning 13th to 15th century building, very well restored, and the dock at the back has superb views of the lake and mountains. Regular events, free art exhibitions when we visited 20 August, Malcesine is an amazing town, visit if you can.

Not very spectacular but if you're close take a look. The town is beautiful and worth a visit.

Best Pizza in the World, it was delicious.

Its a river and its short. Nice area

Pretty tiny river

(Translated by Google) On Lake Garda (municipality of Cassone), among the houses of this small village is the Aril River, also known as the shortest river in the world (certified). It can be reached by taking the Affi motorway exits, or the Rovereto sud exit. (Original) Sul lago di Garda (comune di Cassone), tra le case di questo piccolo borgo si trova il Fiume Aril, conosciuto anche come il fiume più corto del mondo (certificato). Si può raggiungere prendendo le uscite dell'autostrada di Affi, oppure l'uscita di Rovereto sud.

(Translated by Google) Wow, the shortest river in the world, you can see it rise and flow into the lake just by turning your head 180 degrees. To be seen. (Original) Wow, il fiume più corto del mondo, lo si puó veder nascere e emettersi nel lago solo ruotando la testa di 180 gradi. Da vedere.

Booked cable car online saving 2 euros per ticket. Quick journey up although like others said they do pack you in. Beautiful views and fresh air. Spent 6 hours in total.

Wonderful views and a easy comfortable way to travel up the mountain. Would advise either booking tickets on line or getting there early to buy at ticket desk if you are wanting to travel in the morning. Signage could be improved and may be more explicit on how and where to queue for tickets or cable car access. The actual management was proficient and controlled very well by staff of those not wanting to adhere to the basic rules.

What an amazing place to go. We got there late in the day and nearly didn't make it. So glad we carried on with the journey as the views and the atmosphere are just incredible. As we were late, it meant there weren't that many people up at the top. A quick walk to the left and we could take in the peace and quiet... and I do mean silence around us. 😌 it as a beautiful day and one I shall not forget.

Well organised cable car route to the top of Monte Baldo where you can enjoy a marvellous view of Lake Garda and the surrounding hills. Easy walking on the plateau at the top and you can watch the paragliding. Cafes and bars also available at the top. The wait for the cable car can be quite long at busy periods but worth it and it's only a few minutes walk from the bus station.

Logistics and process are fine. Price is steep with 25€ per person for all the way up and return. The view is very limited because of probably smog, so you might think it was just a matter of that very day. However, generally the view is not at clear and nice as advertised. On the top we could barely see the west coast of the lake. There are two nice little restaurants on the top with somewhat reasonable pricing.

Well worth the money and time. Cable car takes you about 3/4ths of the way up Mt Baldo. At the top terminus there are easy hikes to sites that offer spectacular views of the entire lake. You can also vicariously feel the excitement of the para gliders that launch themselves from the northern end of the trail. If inclined there is a continuing trail to the top of Mt Baldo. It is a moderate climb but with scree on majority of the trail. Beautiful at the top. However make sure that you have enough time for the return as the cable car's last departure in at 1845. If you missed it there is a trail back to Malcesine.

I highly recommend going up to Monte Baldo in the cabin, it really adds to the experience. We went on a weekday and there were no queue, but the tickets are a little cheaper online. The ride has two parts, and the second one rotates 360°. The only bad thing I would say is how many people are in one cabin, you have to be quick to stand at the windows.

Got in early paid extra €2 because I didn't book online quick to the top can spend an entire day. Watch for the weather, we had a great view but a couple came two days later when haze and cloud spoiled their day.

Going up at around 9am meant that there were no queues, which was very convenient. The ride itself is quite an amazing experience, once up on the hills top... Plenty of hiking trails, restaurants and amazing views. Around 20 degrees on a sunny June day. Recommended.

Nice, clean, fast, well organized when you are already at the entrance to the cable car. Before that, not that much. There can be a real long queue in the most popular hours in high season. It is hard to get information before getting to the cashier, there are no signs, or the signs are hard to find when you need something special, like going up with your bike. In case you want to do that, it is strongly advised to by your ticket on-line, as bicycles are allowed only at certain times. In any case you are better off buying the ticket on-line and avoiding the crowds., but now I am focusing on the bicycle aspect. You need to show up 15 minutes before your ride and take the elevator that is to the left from the stairs and the que of people (if there is one). The gondolas are huge, can fit up to 80 (!) passengers - packed a bit like sardines - or about 30 bikes and their riders. Staff arranges the bikes in the cabin. The ride up is very nice and cycling down from 1700 m is certainly not something one can experience every day. Check your breaks before you go! MTB bikes are recommended, as the first part of the road down is quite unpleasant gravel, but soon it becomes asphalt, though narrow. Ride safely, you need the share the road with cars! Traffic is light, but the hairpin turns can be dangerous.

Expensive but beautiful, If you plan on sticking around for a longer time at the top of the mountain it’s worth. If you are just staying less than 30 mins then it’s not so worth. Nice cold breeze up there, with a restaurant and relaxing area where you can sun bathe. Toilet also available

Views are breathtaking and air crystal clear. 2nd cablecar swivels round slowly so you get a full view going up or down. Worth getting tickets in advance or on line as queues can be long in peak times. We went 11 30 and got on 12.30. Can be cold up top so take a sweater just in case and wear good shoes as lots of loose rocks.

They shouldn’t cram you in like they do, it’s too crowded. And annoying to have to scan your tickets so many times when you have 6 ppl in your group. But worth it to go to the top! The hiking is amazing and there’s a restaurant you can eat at with great views and atmosphere.

Small but well-stocked mini "supermarket". Location could not be more convenient. Staff however, is not exactly willing to help when I asked to exchange 5 euro bill to some coins, to pay for my parking ticket.

Totally unsorted, hard to find anything and every Corner ist cramped with stuff. You can't really tell who is working and who shopping. Oh and its expensive as well! For cooled drinks, they are another 30cents per bottle or can, shame in you! Never had that in a regular supermarket and Ich have travelled the world quite a bit!

A bit narrow but ok

Plenty of goods and produce and in a great location for pedestrians only as little or no parking facilities close by.

We were in need of cold water in a hot summer day and we found it for only 50 cents! It wasn’t a very big supermarket but they seemed to have a little bit of everything 😊

Good prices happy to get parking spot there are only 3/4 .

Super Service ☺️👍

A cozy restaurant in the center of Malcesine town, the food was great and service was welcoming. We ordered grilled sea bream and the squid and shrimps skewers with king prawn. Highly recommend both dishes but I like the skewers more, as it provides variety and at a very reasonable price. The meal is around euro 60 for 2 ppl include drink. They have a special chilli olives served as snack which was super yummy! Btw, the service is efficient and great! 抵食、好味、熱情款待。😋😋😋❤️

Overall great lunch experience (in this atmospheric colourful town) and the traditional dishes are of quality, very well prepared and nicely presented. Food is clearly above average 👌 Il Pulpo primi was tasty and slightly crispy. The pasta nero Del Mare secondi with small scallops here again was perfectly cooked (aldente) and topped with two langoustines. We felt welcomed by staff and the friendly Owner and we were not rushed out despite being the last Customers (on a heavily rainy October day) which was very much appreciated. We had complementary digestives (Grappa, Lemoncello) from the bottles kindly left on the side of our table. Tutto era Perfetto 👌👌 Grazie mille

Absolutely must visit in Malcesine! Pasta, especially primi piatti are so delicious that we ordered 3 for 2 people and we enjoyed a lot. Stuff is friendly and professional. Fully recommended.

Amazing authentic pasta ragout! You have to visit this place and try their ragout. Their tiramisu is also fantastic! Service could be a little more positive and smiley, they look like they want to go home. But we can live with it, when food is that good.

The food was very good as well as the service of the staff. You felt directly comfortable although you are relatively close to the tables and chairs together. We ate the salmon with vegetables and black tagliatelle with shrimp and scallop. Everything was fine and super tasty! Especially the tiramisu is particularly noteworthy. That was super!

Great place to eat , amazing food , great staff who love their jobs . Was moved at the end of the night to a spot on the terrace and given a bottle of limoncello to enjoy while we listened to live music below . Was my fav dinner and food / atmosphere in the whole time here :) would love to come back again , got a table under a fan so we enjoyed the food while being super cool and not dripping in sweat from the Italian summer heat . 10/10

We had a memorable dinner at Al Gondoliere. The staff seemed genuinely hospitable and very well trained. All our dishes were really good. The fish was simple but incredible, pasta had very rich flavours. The tagine is also not to be missed.

Heavenly dishes, and terrific, friendly, staff. The only thing which didn't fit to the otherwise high art of Italian kitchen was the bread. Still, The best roast potatoes I ever tasted and fantastic grilled vegetables. That's why we returned one night later.

Traditional food, with great produce and quality of meat. A bit old fashioned, and not very clean. Spiderweb in the plants. No smoking at the table outside, and no area for smokers.

Excellent restaurant! They did not have table available when we arrived, but offered us free prosecco while we waited. Perfect service and nice food.

Al Gondoliere was an awesome restaurant for my family's dinner. The staff was super friendly and took good care of us. The food was absolutely delicious, with lots of tasty options to choose from. The place had a cozy vibe that made us feel comfortable. We highly recommend Al Gondoliere for anyone who wants great service, friendly staff, and yummy food. It's definitely a place worth checking out!

One of the best Michelin Stars I’ve ever eaten. For real! That was outstanding. Thank you for this great evening. Good service and nice wine list as well!

Thanks for a wonderful dinner. The service is excellent as well as course is well thought. Chef de cuisine welcomes you personally. It's simply a pleasure.

Slow and nice food. I wish I could not be rush to enjoy the dish and the view. Fish are really good. Also nice deserts.

Michelin star restaurant. I ate the vegetarian menu. It was so delicious and looked very esthetic. Service was amazing. Very atmospheric restaurant. Every course were quite big so I was way too full at the end even though I took the smallest menu.

Superb location, breathtaking view to Lago Di Garda. Creative fine dining, perfect service, friendly staff. This elegant place, a hidden gem of the area was perfectly matched with our expectation.

The Vecchia Malcesine is a really nice fine dining restaurant near the Center of Malcesine. The beautiful view you get from the little wintergarden, which contains most of the restaurants tables, is only interrupted by the delicious food that Leandro and his team serves. We tried the classic menu and really enjoyed every dish, from the fake tomatoe, to black pearl and pasta carbonara.

All was perfect: the 12 course menu, the amazing service and the astonishing view of the beautiful Garda lake while having dinner. The only pity: 7 wines during the menu is just too much - we were not able to sufficiently drink the wines ;) Absolutely recommend to go while staying in beautiful Marcesine!

It's amazing the waitress was very understanding when a plate was accidentally broken beautify views of the lake amazing atmosphere.

My wife and I went here in July. We had a wonderful evening. Atmosphere, food and drinks were all amazing. We chose the vegetarian set-menu with five glasses of wine. The different courses were varied and Vecchia did a splendid job of combining textures and tastes to make this evening a worthwhile experience.

Incredibly friendly owner! I had the tagliatelle with salmon which were really tasty. The others had mixed meat platter and mixed fish platter which were okay. Sadly they didn’t have the filipino dishes on their menu anymore. Maybe next time!

Probably the best restaurant in Malcesine! Excellent pizza, outstanding, fresh seafood! Garry the owner was really nice and made pizza rolls for us! The Wifi was not working properly, so he opened up his mobile hotspot and told us to use it! what a kind person. (100% better than the other restaurants that probably use fake reviews, Im reffering to restaurants in Limone Sul Garda) .See you next year Garry!

What a lovely place. We were so happy to stumble across Joy’s Place on our short trip to Malcesine. The food was so tasty and the service really great with friendly staff.

Delicious food! Great portions, for both food and drinks. Seriously, the Aperol spritz was giant and really good! The service is also excellent. Can highly recommend.

The Philippinian food was awesome!! The owner is very friendly 🙂 Masarap!

Great Restaurant, still an insider tip. Located, a bit away from the hustle in the streets of Malcesine. The owners are very friendly and courteous. The food was delicious and abundant. The Filipino Barbecue was great. A reservation is recommended.

Pizzas are wonderful, and the dough is just perfect! Grilled seafood was tasty and hearty portion. You could see that the vegetables were freshly cut and cooked. Pastas were great! We went twice! That is after trying out other „great“ restaurants in town.

Very friendly staff and tasty food which is value for money. The owner was very helpful and friendly. 🙏 Fish plate was tasty, especially with crispy skin. Bruschetta was served with spicy sauce which I liked. They even prepared a calzone without meat based on our request for our dietary restrictions. If you search for a place with nice view, this may not be your place. If you would like to end the evening with positive attitude and smiles, you will like this place. Better to call for reservation if you want to have a place outside.

Literally the best pasta we’ve ever had. The staff is very friendly and the food is delicious. We’ve had paccheri with gorgonzola, curry sauce and prawns, and paccheri with pistaccio pesto and bacon. It’s located right next to the lake and on the edge of the city centre.

Great food (both pizzas and pasta), very good service, nice location and decent prices! This time, the TripAdvisor rating worked 100%. Highly recommend!

Really nice family-friendly restaurant located in a beautiful square around the lake in the centre of Malcesine. Great atmosphere, amazing food, and smiley faces , multiple languages speaking staff. Thank you

The view was great and the price point seemed fine, the food came out really fast. When the food did arrive I had pizza which was just water in the middle and had 3 hairs in. Disappointed after reading all the good reviews about this place. Atmosphere would have been better if the male owner wasn’t watching my every move. Would have told the staff about the issues but no one came over to check on us , felt ignored. Maybe an off day for them but if you want better authentic Italian food try elsewhere.

Tasty pizzas, good pannacotta. The five stars are for the experience - the staff were friendly and jolly and helpful and didn't pressure us for our table despite being very busy and full the whole time. Location good with views of the lake. Food is four stars really - if I had to nitpick, the pizza was a bit doughy and thick.

Visited here three times during our week in Malcesine! Amazing food and the best service - thank you ☺️

The food was amazing. They seem to one of the only restaurants that make pizzas in a wood furnace in the area. Ate here 3 times. Excellent pizzas and their gnocchi is delicious. The location with the view of the lake is very nice and in the evening i also experienced live music. Service wise they are quick with bringing out food, but if you don’t ask to order and especially to pay it takes a very long time. Several I waited over 15 minutes after asking to pay, so if you sit down here you should not be in a hurry :)

food camr very late. even starting bread was late (40 mins after we sat down). food when came was delicious for two of us. one of us had steak which part of it smelled like fish. when we confirmed them very politely, the staff accused us of informing them towards the end. basically implying we don't want to pay! we said it's not that at all he continued being rude to us. so disappointing experience for us. their lovely manger wanted to deduct the food, but of course we paid in full. seafood pasta was amazing and very delicious.

Probably one of the best restaurants in Malcesine. Price worthy! It was hard finding a place serving not-so-touristy food. Eventually we came across this place. The seafood soup is 5/5 The risotto is 5/5 Pizza very good Pasta with aubergine/tomato 5/5 House wine very pleasant (from wine amateurs ) Overall we give the place 4/5. We returned for a total of 5 times and while most food was best in class, some like lasagna or the dessert Tiramisu was somewhat below basic, hindering us from giving it a full score. All in all, we leave with a good memory, recommend!

After returning to Italy for the first time after 22 years this was the first restaurant we visited and it was such a nice surprise it was like: "Yes, this is how things have to be!" Not only the food was great, but the service was so welcoming and friendly it felt like I come to this place all the time. Not every restaurant here is like this I can assure you. The pizza was great even though the mushrooms were not fresh. The Carbonara was amazing. I am sad to say I don't have a different cooks variation to compare it to yet, but this is what it will have to live up to. The arrabiata was not really arrabiata and my little daughter ended up eating it. The pasta with fish was also really great. Of course we had a really nice Lambrusco of the house with the meal which is the only way to go here.

Tasty food and price is justifiable to the quality. They had a good range of wine. Giuseppe offered exceptional service and good recommendation for our food and wine. Would not hesitate to return. Location is a little difficult to find but can manage if follow the walking route from Google.

Wow! Highly recommended. We wandered to this restaurant looking for a place to eat lunch before all the restaurant's close in the area,didn't know what to expect (looks very touristy) but it exceeded our expectations. They offer quite a lot of options all the traditional Italian dishes you'd expect, The truffle ravioli and peas rissoto were perhaps the best I had... Very good quality ingredients, delicious dishes, friendly staff,very well priced. So happy we wandered and found this place.

If you're looking for a fantastic Italian restaurant around Garda, look no further than this gem! From the moment you step inside, you'll be greeted with warm hospitality and a stunning view of the lake. The food is absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of traditional Italian dishes that are sure to satisfy any craving. The service is top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff who go above and beyond to make sure you have a wonderful dining experience. And did we mention the view? It's simply breathtaking, with panoramic vistas of the lake and surrounding mountains. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner for two or a fun night out with friends, this Italian restaurant is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

A brief visit to Malcesine on Lake Garda, Italy, in early October 2023: We crossed the lake on the ferry to take the gondola up to Monte Baldo. Stunningly beautiful! As we descended, we found ourselves ravenously hungry. We made our way to this restaurant and I'm so glad we did! Excellent pizza with a lovely view. Think twice about where you sit, or you could end up quite wet before you leave!

A nice restaurant in a small alley. Feel really like eating at the local restaurants. The staffs were so friendly and they speak English well, so don't worry if you don't speak Italian 😂. The foodd have reasonable prices. We ordered Risoto Gamberi, Grilled roast beef, tiramisu, semifreddo al torroncino, and some drinks. They were really delicious. We would absolutely come back here again if we be around the area. Really recommended. And we got two shots of schnapps and a pack of pasta as gifts from them.

We went there by pure luck since we were on the look for some food in the afternoon when many places (except for the badly rated tourist traps) were closed, and we were not disappointed - great atmosphere, very friendly service staff, and the food was perfect! We had Vitello Tonato, Carpaccio, lasagna and cannaloni Al forno, all great and fresh ingredients. We will surely come back!

Starting with staff, you won’t regret visiting this place. Everyone is looking forward to chat with you and therefore you really feel welcome in this place. Moving on to the main part - the food. We did not order anything we wouldn't really enjoy there, and must say, we are not easy to satisfy when it comes to italian food. Huge variety of pasta, a lot of pizzas and salads. Im pretty sure, that everyone will be able to pick something out of the menu. Also, I can recommend their prosecco “alla casa”. Very smooth for prosecco, with light tones.

Absolutely lovely evening he helped us find a seat in the courtyard because we have a god with us. The food was incredible I would highly recommend the beef. The location was in an old Build the history and the atmosphere and the staff is what made this. As a parting gift they gave us a bottle of wine. Small gestures go a long way. We will be back on this trip!

Nice restaurant. You can enjoy local Italian food. The food was delicious and finely presented. Even we got gluten free option that the reason we selected to dine in here. We really enjoyed the food and at end they also gave us a short gift. Thanks for your gesture.
