Locanda al Lago

Top choice in Lake Iseo


The Soardi family has been serving up local dishes since 1948, perfecting deceptively simple treatments of lake fish. It means you can sit on their waterside terrace and feast on fish lasagna or the day's catch combined with trenette (a flat pasta) and lashings of extra virgin Monte Isola olive oil.

It's near the quay where ferries from Sale Marasino stop and is a good place to decamp if you've just hiked to the top of the island.
