Italian Conviviality: Private Dining Experience in a Historic Garda Home

Crossing the threshold of a home steeped in history, where time slows down to celebrate the art of fine living: this is the journey that awaits you at Ada’s table, a passionate chef and guardian of the culinary secrets of the Garda region.

We are located in the enchanting Lake Garda hinterland, just 12 km from Desenzano and 19 km from Sirmione, in a charming village where the chef’s residence — once the town's very first tavern — opens its doors exclusively for you. This peaceful corner, far from the crowded tourist routes, is one of the most authentic hidden gems Lake Garda has to offer: the perfect setting to rediscover the genuine flavors of Lombard and regional traditions. On sunny days, you can settle into the outdoor patio or the bright veranda overlooking the courtyard.

The menu, a refined symphony of traditional Italian home cooking, features a five-course dinner (or lunch) prepared with top-quality ingredients. This culinary journey begins with fragrant homemade focaccia paired with local cold cuts, cheeses, and olives, followed by savory pies made with garden vegetables. The first courses celebrate the art of fresh homemade pasta, including traditional malfatti and elegant stuffed pasta, concluding with iconic local desserts. Each course is expertly paired with house wine, with water, coffee, and local digestifs included for a complete Lake Garda wine and food experience.

Privacy and sustainability are the beating heart of this private dining experience. Every single ingredient is locally sourced, coming directly from the home garden or small local producers. Your host will guide you through stories and anecdotes behind recipes handed down through generations, offering you not just an excellent meal, but a true cultural immersion in total intimacy.

Treat yourself to a moment of rare beauty and exclusivity. Reserve your private table and live one of the most authentic exclusive Garda experiences, where old-world hospitality meets the pinnacle of taste.
