If it comes to food, Nadine and I are sort of picky if not spoild.
And if it comes to Italien food our expectations are very, very high. In Zurich we found our favorite Restaurand which offers everything, from brilliant food and wine, to friendly service (grazie a Genarro and Francisco) and a unique atmosphere – la Pergola at the Kanzleistrasse 121.
Now that we went to Italy, we hoped to get a similar standard as we were used to from La Pergola. But as Riva del Garda is a touristic place, invaded by the Germans, it was not easy to find what we were looking for.
After three rather disappointing diners we tried something a bit outside the center. The place is called Osteria La Contrada and offers exactly what we were looking for: Excellent food, very friendly service and a good atmosphere! If you’re planning a trip to Riva del Garda, visit them at Via Bastione 1, it’s really worth it.

Just finished a ten day holiday in Italy, France and Swizerland, by far my best cena was at Osteria La Contrada. Exelllent food, exellent service, pleasant and clean surroundings. A meal with a difference, excellently presented.
Was told that my family was the first from Malta. I will surely recomend this restaruant to all Maltese visiting Desenzano in Lago di Garda.
marks:- 10/10
