Italy — Ranked by Occasion

Dining in Gardone Riviera

Compiled by the Restaurants for Kings editorial team · How we rank · Corrections

Gardone Riviera’s dining story changed on 22 March 2026, when Lido 84 — Riccardo and Giancarlo Camanini’s lakefront room, one Michelin star and Italy’s highest World’s 50 Best entry at No.16 — served its final service after twelve years, announced that February to national surprise. The brothers have spoken of a new project; nothing is announced, and this page will track it.

The belle-époque town still earns the stop: Villa Fiordaliso serves in a historic lakefront villa with a Michelin listing, Trattoria Agli Angeli has been the Pellegrini family’s since 1976 near the gates of Il Vittoriale, d’Annunzio’s estate and the town’s great sight. Reach it by road — the nearest stations are Desenzano and Brescia, thirty to forty minutes away.
