Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We went for dinner when we saw some good reviews. However we did not eat well en paid too much in our opinion. The restaurant is run by 2 old ladies, they were very kind to our dogs, but we do think it is inappropriate...to come over to pet our dogs without saying a word to us and then calling their own dog (who was running around the restaurant without leash) to come and greet ours. Not all dogs appreciate this, and all this without talking to us. Service took forever, even though there were only 10 guests. My boyfriend had even finishes his meal before he received his spoon. We've sat at the restaurant for around 2,5 hours, mostly waiting. We both liked our starter dish, but both our second dishes were not good (I had the polenta with onions and oranges and my boyfriend had the tagliata). For 2 persons we paid 105 euros. We only drank 1 cola each, this was waaaay to much in our opinion. Price/quality is not ok in this restaurant. 100% would never go back again. Ps: we ate great pizza in Il Buccone, also in ToscolanoMore

Really unique spot in Toscolano Moderno! A little hidden paradise, away from the touristy restaurants at the port. Food was incredible good, we asked to reccommend us wine & pasta: both were delicious! The service is outstanding, you almost feel like you’re at home. Must...visit!! We ordered the artichoke haerts & cured meats with truffle honey as starter. Main course was osso bucco with polenta & tagliatella with truffle. To finish the night we got a sip of Creamy Pistacchio Liquor!More

We went here for dinner following all the good ratings. Unfortunately we cannot share the experience. Yes, the food is really good and if you don't mind paying twice as much for the same dish you can get elsewhere then your are fine. Not to...forget that you need to prepared for longer waiting times because there is just the owner herself and the cook running the whole restaurant. Anyone has different expectations. We left disappointed. To our opinion the place is overhyped and overrated because price-/performance ratio does not match.More

Decor is fun, but drinks expensive, some meals overpriced and bland - 1 truffle starter had no truffle flavour at all, but a main course did... total mystery. Ordered a beer which turned out to be 14euros once we got the bill. Service takes forever...because only 1 lady does it - she was clearly displeased when we weren't as impressed as she thought we should be. Could be lovely with some amendments but was a bit stressful.More

This restaurant was one of the best I have ever been in my life. The place feels like home with very interesting decor (you have to see for yourself), amazing food and a brilliant owner with a great sense of humor. Food was just delicious...with an exquisite menu (like everything else in the place) and at very reasonable price. Do not miss this great experience!!More

We have found this Hostaria by chance and the interior, the decoration, the hospitality of the lady and last but not least the cousine: superb. The wine selection is very wide and broad quality. The menu, rich of truffle and meat proposals with also fresh...pasta. Very tasty and well cooked. I believe our best experience in a restorant. Everything is a celebration of the cat, 🐱except the menu, of course ;😉More

What a lovely night we had at this restaurant! We called the same day to make a reservation for 6 people and when we arrived they had prepared a special area where we could put our trolly with a sleeping baby, highly appriciated. We shared...two appertifes, they made it big enough to share for 6 people. We said we would order pasta as maincourse. She recommended us to order six different plates of pasta, and then share all of them! What a wonderful idea! Everything tasted like magic!! For example, pasta with hazelnutsause, fantastic!! The wine was served in the biggest glasses we’d ever seen, to ultimate the taste, the waitress explaned. The atmosphere at the restaurant was perfect, the service was excellent and food and wine was MAGIC!!More

We spent a week on Lake Garda and visited this amazing place on the night we arrived. We then dined there another 2 times for dinner and had our final lunch there too and the food was wonderful every time. It’s a quirky place with...a wonderful hostess in Sabine and of course the chef! The service can be slow to maintain the quality so if you are in a hurry you need to say so but the pace was perfect for us and allowed us to enjoy the wine and ambience and rest between courses! Excellent wine selection too - we will be back!!More
