Il Glicine - VIVERONE

Excellent fish dishes or pizza romantic atmosphere along the lake

The beautiful location on the shore of the lake, on a lawn under the shadow of some sea pines and, for some tables, of umbrellas, and the enchanting view, distract from the brute of the building in which the restaurant is located, which leaves a little puzzled who for the first time accesses from the road. the menu is varied and does not limit itself to the fish, which however does it as its master. The wine card offers a wide choice. excellent and well cooked dishes and abundant portions, fried was dry and light, as well as gratin of molluscs. friendly staff and quick service. convenient the reserved parking space a few steps away.

The restaurant building outside looks good and should be a little refreshed, but the interior room and especially outdoor spaces are worthy of note. we dined right on the lake, appetizer tuna tartare and a carpaccio of salmon, as first a octopus to the plate and a slice of tuna to the pistachio, all really good. friendly and professional service, all really friendly and helpful, not understanding just the negative reviews addressed to the staff. It is a place that I recommend mainly for fish dishes, which are their specialties.

I was recommended this restaurant by a friend and I’m SO glad I came to try this place for myself. To start, this restaurant overlooks the gorgeous Lake Viverone; it has an intimate, magical garden feel to it. The food was also delicious ! The seafood tower was to die for! And the service was on point. Professional, knowledgeable and accommodating staff just made the experience that much better. Will definitely return.

First time in my life I voice a negative comment; my usual voice is silence. Part of the staff seems under such pressure it puts you in a little mental drawer designed for silly little tourists like me, making service easier for them at your expense. Being served your first dish i.e. mussels and your wife’s second dish i.e fritto misto when you have just taken the first sip of the Spritz you asked as an aperitif seems normal. Complain and discover in amazement it’s your own fault because you should have told them professionals beforehand that the sequence is 1. Aperitif 2. First dish white wine 3. Second dish (by the way I had said I wanted to eat after the Spritz, premonition? . Arrogance and impertinence in response. Chaotic service; chaotic bill. Bad English imposed of course, forget Italian: that’s outside your little drawer. Are you being served? Honesty commands me to add that admittedly, in itself, the food served was above all reproach.
