We had an absolutely fabulous day at the Gardaland! You feel like in a fairytale, and all the roller coasters are very exciting! 😍 I recommend going on a (rainy) weekday, so the queues are shorter and you manage to see everything. Feel free to skip the Jumanji Adventure ride though, it’s not quite worth a 40+ minute wait.

Another amazing amusememt park for kids and older as well. Rides get pretty busy with the nice weather, like in every resort. I wish there was a better overview what each ride offers - we waited 90 minutes for Jumanji adventure, which was absolutely no advanture plus it was all in Italian. Other than that, only 4 rides required height over 140, few over 130. Make sure to check these requirements before going. Also, buying tickets outside od the official venue office is cheaper so look for those selling points in the city.

We visited Gardaland on a Wednesday and had an amazing time! 🎢 The waiting time for each ride was less than 15 minutes, which made the whole experience super smooth. The official app showing live queue times was very helpful — it helped us plan our route efficiently and enjoy more rides. The park is clean, beautifully themed, and well-maintained. Staff were friendly and organized, and there were plenty of food options and rest areas. Both the kids and adults had a blast — from the thrilling roller coasters to the fun family attractions. Highly recommend visiting on a weekday if possible — short queues, great atmosphere, and so much fun! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic for kiddies as there is a great balance of calmer rides with ease of motion while still holding very good production value. The adult rides too are equally fantastic. I hold the overall experience below Europa park however and wouldn't go too far out of my way to visit it.

So much fun, there's something for everyone. We also went during weekday in October, there was minimal queue and wait time even on popular rides. Absolutely recommended visiting if you have kids and are in the area.

We had such a fantastic time at Gardaland! The park is full of magic, excitement, and plenty of things to do for both kids and adults.There are so many attractions from thrilling rides to fun games that kept us entertained all day. The decorations and themed areas are beautiful and immersive, making it feel like stepping into another world.The staff were friendly and helpful, and everything was well-organized despite the crowds. It’s also worth mentioning that the park is very clean and well-maintained, and there are plenty of places to relax, grab food, or cool down.If you’re visiting Italy with kids, Gardaland is absolutely worth it. We left with big smiles and a new fluffy friend. we recommend

I am sure that a family would love this place...my wife and stayed at the Gardaland hotel, and rode the bus to the park in the morning (bus runs every 16 minutes) We love roller coasters and these did not disappoint. The atmosphere is very family friendly and the park is very well cared for (it's clean!) over all a great experience.

Gorgeous park! animals look happy and healthy. It's very large and unfortunately we couldn't see it all cause it started raining heavily and we had to leave 😔 but definitely worth a visit! There's also a fun kids park inside so you can have a bite while the kids play and enjoy some great live music 😊👌🏻

Took us 4 hours to complete as a couple walking around at a normal pace. If you bring your kids it will easily take an entire day, the place is massive and has a lot to offer. The animals have a lot of space and you can tell they are taken good care of. Can highly recommend visiting!

A must-visit! Parco Natura Viva is a beautiful nature park with great habitats for animals. I highly recommend adding the photo safari option (a small extra charge) – together the park + safari ticket is only €29 and absolutely worth it. My tip: go in the afternoon hours when it’s less hot, for an even better experience.

The park is huge and nicely organized, I was here during the summer so most of the animals were outside and visible. Some of the animals are hidden so you cannot see them, for example lions (there is only one window from where they could be seen) Overall, the zoo is great!

This is really one of the best zoos that we have ever been to. We were thoroughly impressed with the amount of space that the animals had and the quality of their environments. Most signs were in both Italian and English. The food was not only good but not overpriced like some zoos. It was very hot when we visited though and I do wish that there had been places to fill out water bottles. The Zoo was very easily accessible from Verona by bus.

Absolutely great park! We started with the Safari by own car and continued walking in the park. The park is decided into areas, with corresponding animals. There are sufficient places to eat, drink coffee and toilets. For a hot sunny day 90% you can walk in the shade. The animal areas are well maintained and cared for. Buy your tickets online from official website, saves money and ones you bought the park tickets, you get a link to book the safari. We spend 5 hours in total and still didn’t see everything. So we will visit again. Visited on a Monday within high season, still easy to walk or see animals front row.

The biggest ZOO in Italy! You have a 4 hours walk through the park and 40 minutes ride in the safari. Safari is a great experience and must see! We bought the tickets online for the park, safari and parking (in the application). Note: the walk in the park and the safari need to be in the same day. So, if you go one day in the park and want the next one in the safari it won’t be doable.

We spent the whole Friday at Caneva Aquapark. Overall, it was a fun experience, and the whole family enjoyed it. Parking costs €7 and lockers are also €7 — card payment only. Unfortunately, the biggest attraction was closed for maintenance, which was a bit disappointing. There were quite a lot of people, but surprisingly, we only had to queue for one attraction — the rest of the slides were available with minimal waiting times. If you’re planning to visit, we recommend arriving right at opening time (10:00), as the park closes at 18:00 and the hours pass quickly. There’s a decent food zone — we chose the menu option, which was €12 per person. Not bad at all. The only downside is that the park feels a bit outdated — a full renovation would definitely make a difference. Still, a great day overall!

Fun day out, the time flys by when you're there so it's worth coming for opening! Although it was a weekday we did have to queue up to 30 mins for some slides. The majority of slides are for thrill seekers, they are very intense! The black hole 2, they make you weigh yourself in front of everyone to decide whether you can go down or not. If you know you are over 80kg and want to avoid being weighed in front of everyone and being turned away then do not attempt to go on this slide. Luckily, the rest of the slides did not have a weight limit from what we saw. There are many food and drink spots dotted around and fairly priced too, however, there are areas where you can eat your own food. There are lockers as you come in for €7 which we found very useful throughout the day. There are plenty of free sun loungers dotted around but can get mostly taken by midday. It is very confusing where to get rings from for slides, you have to find the end of the slide and queue there to then walk up to the start with your ring. I hope that makes sense! Life guards weren't monitoring very well, kids constantly jumping the queues right in front of them and many people doing dangerous things down the slide and having nothing said to them. There are no clocks around the park so be sure to check your phone or take a waterproof watch with you. A positive was that it was my birthday and I got into the park completely free of charge. I only visited the aqua park so can't comment on movie land.

Caneva – fun concept, but absolutely avoid during peak season! The park looks great and offers some cool, original water attractions. But: the crowds, long queues and wait times completely ruin the experience. Lifeguards are glued to their phones, barely watching the pools. The wave pool works for just a few minutes every hour – very underwhelming. After a full day, there's no proper place to shower or change – only a few cold outdoor showers, no real lockers or changing rooms. Bathrooms are in terrible condition. Great idea, but poorly managed in practice. Very disappointing.

Liked it sooo much!!! We did all of the slides at least once besides the most scarry one. We were lucky to visit in a not crowded day, probably because it was not that hot day with rain expected in August (it did rain for an hour which we didnt care). Only one facility had a long queue but later not even this one. Big variaty of slides and facilities for different ages and extreme levels.

Absolute blast from start to finish. Caneva isn’t just a waterpark—it’s a full-day escape where adults get to feel like kids again and kids run wild with glee. The whole place runs like a well-oiled machine: clean facilities, well-marked attractions, and enough shade and seating to keep parents sane. The rides range from mellow to maniac. We hit the big slides first—pure adrenaline and soaked laughter—then drifted through the lazy river to cool down. The wave pool is a riot when it kicks in, and the pirate-themed kids' area is genius. You don’t need to overthink anything here. You show up, slap on sunscreen, and enjoy the chaos. Food’s exactly what you'd expect—burgers, pizza, ice cream—and honestly, it hits the spot when you’re dripping wet and sun-baked. Staff were friendly, lines moved fast, and despite the crowds, it never felt overwhelming. Five stars, no question. If you’re in the area and looking for a fun day in the sun, Caneva delivers. Bring water shoes and lose your dignity on the vertical drop. Totally worth it.

After reading some recent negative comments, I was unsure what to expect, but we had a really good day at the waterpark. There was a great variety of slides to suit everyone, and the queue times were much shorter than expected, especially for the more extreme rides. Everything felt well managed and we were able to enjoy more time on the rides than waiting around. We arrived early and found a good spot to set up for the day. The park was clean and the layout made it easy to get around. The food was reasonably priced and the meal deals, including a beer, were good value. It was nice to have some proper options without paying over the odds. Overall, it was an enjoyable day and definitely worth a visit. I would go again.

Good option of water activities for all ages. Today was super busy within a few minutes of opening as a public holiday. Meaning no free spaces or loungers around the park. Parking is on site and an extra €7 paid cash or card. Easier to buy tickets in advance to both the watermark and movieland. Good smaller rides for little ones and all the big slides had attendants at them. Can take own food or drink but also able to buy on site

Small historical trade house right on the mouth of the small port. The building has been turned into an event center, but the architecture is nice to look at.

A great little town to lunch

The food was terrible, the meat was cold and uncooked, the fish was tasteless, and the vegetables were disgusting. The prices were too high for the terrible quality of food. This tourist trap is not recommended.

Ok

Majestic place, absolutely amazing views and great ambience.

A great event place on Garda Lake...with History!

👌

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was truly disappointing. I ordered the pasta carbonara, which was extremely salty and had a very strange taste that made it nearly inedible. It felt far from the classic carbonara I expected. Another person in our group had the sea bass, which was full of bones – making it difficult and unpleasant to eat. Overall, this was honestly one of the worst meals I've ever had. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

I am surprised there are negative reviews for this restaurant. Two of us ate here tonight and it was faultless. Excellent quality food in my opinion and good value.

Incredible! This is NOT just another simple ristorante in touristic place! If it was in London or Paris, people would kill themselves in the queue for hours just to get in… seriously! Every detail is taken care of and the whole experience is special. I had a steak that was really so gentle and full of flavors it was the best I had in my life so far. The combination of salty crudo on top and grilled salad leaves below all dipped in sweet and rich wine reduction was just sooo on spot. The whole „design” of each dish was a masterpiece. Real art. Enjoy your life and don’t miss out, explore new tastes and feel heavenly pleasures while dining in this beautiful place. Plus for the professional service and elegant interior.

(Translated by Google) Situated in a stunning location, opposite the Lazise marina and customs house, La grotta was a pleasant discovery. We thought we'd be disappointed by the usual cute but touristy restaurant, but instead we had a wonderful lunch. Delicious dishes with original and excellent pairings. Everything was perfect—the first course, second course, desserts, and even the wine. Very friendly and helpful staff. We'll be back soon. Thank you! (Original) Situato un una posizione stupenda, davanti al porticciolo di Lazise ed alla dogana, La grotta è stata una piacevole scoperta. Pensavamo di rimanere delusii dal solito ristorantino carino ma solo turistico invece abbiamo fatto un pranzo stupendo. Piatti deliziosi con abbinamenti originali e ottimi. Tutto perfetto, primo , secondo , dolci e anche il vino. Personale molto cordiale e gentile. Torneremo presto. Grazie!

(Translated by Google) A special experience, meticulously prepared dishes, and top-quality ingredients. If you want to be pampered by a special taste, this is a must. The restaurant is very well-maintained and the location is romantic. The service deserves a special mention, too. (Original) Esperienza speciale, piatti molto curati e materia prima della migliore qualità. Se si vuole essere coccolati da un gusto speciale, non si può mancare. Locale molto curato e posizione romantica. Tantissimi complimenti anche la servizio.

(Translated by Google) I don't like reviewing businesses because making mistakes is human, but sometimes it's impossible to resist temptation. Two cuts of beef as tough and cold as river stones (Angus...wow!!), side dishes that arrived at the end of the dinner, two glasses of wine and a coffee for €86. Honestly, I felt like I was bait for naive tourists. A postcard view of the lake isn't enough to make a good restaurant. (Original) Non amo recensire le attività commerciali perché sbagliare è umano, ma a volte è impossibile resistere alla tentazione. Due tagliate di carne dure e fredde come sassi di fiume ( angus...ma !!),contorni arrivati alla fine della cena, 2 calici di vino e un caffè 86 euro. Sinceramente mi sono sentito pastura da esca per turisti ingenui. La cartolina vista lago per fare buona ristorazione non è sufficiente

Its a restaurant with beautiful scenery by the lake. The dishes were beautifully presented and also delicious. We enjoyed the fresh raw seafood and also the risotto.

Great food and great service, that simple. Good local fish specialties, shellfish, well prepared meat and delicious wine of the house.

Just perfect! We recommend!

Didn’t have many vegetarian options and the one I had was not good. The waiter was rude with us, seemed without patience.

The staff is incredibly attentive and kind. The menu features local traditional dishes – the Risotto alla Tinca is divine, but every single dish is excellently prepared.

The location is fantastic. We had the grilled fish platter and can highly recommend.

Delicious Italian eatery with very yummy seafood options. Staff were very good with kids

Excellent food and wine. Great menu. Friendly, pleasant staff.

Great terrace, amazing food, good service. Fast, fresh, friendly. Top!

Food was fine but service was a little arrogant. I asked how big the portions were and they told me they would be pretty small so I ordered a main dish as well. I wasn't able to finish everything which wasn't to the liking of our server (he didn't realise I was able to understand him when he was asking his colleague in a very condescending tone why I didn't finish the food). Also: The fish was full of bones. We still enjoyed it because of the view 😉

Excellent restaurant in the old Customs House, accompanied by fantastic service. The menu was impressive and the items we ordered were beautiful to look at and tasted amazing. I had the tuna, which was a particularly large portion - no tiny portions here! - and the Rosemary ice-cream with candied bacon and zabaione was incredible! Thoroughly worth a visit if you want a memorable meal.

Great food, great atmosphere , service very busy once customers flocked in

Travelling from Australia, I am blown away by Italy, meeting people is always nice, but meeting people who go out of their way to show you what Italy and their food are all about is another level - my experience here was next to no other, and I will come back each time I'm in Italy just because the service the food, the location is nothing like anything before. Well done for exceeding my expectations in every way Giovanni - a true gentlemen, even larger heart to entertain and showing us delicious food. See you soon.

Amazing location next to the lake and in downtown. The staff is very friendly and they speak many languages, for sure English and Italian 😉. The food is very nice from taste and quality we can recommend the place. Hint: Coincidentally we finished when the sunset started and from the restaurant just 15 steps away you can sit down and just enjoy the spectacular moment.

Delicious, fresh light flavours, the kind of flavour you'll remember. Extremely lovely service. Beautiful view on the castle Perfect dinner for couples. Thank you for your kindness

If you are looking for something different, a little more delicate and luxurious than other restaurants in Lazise, with a fine choice of wine in a very nice location, this is your place to be. Expect around €65-€85 per person if you go for the 3 meal course and a choice of wine for the full experience. Very friendly service, very good food and wine and a nice castle view - a very well choice!

Thank You for very nice dinner and serving

In English: Dear managers of Porta Lion Restaurant. This will be my longest review ever given of a specific restaurant. I will start by the less relevant to the more relevant. Would you say the food is the most important aspect to give a review in a restaurant? I would say that's wrong. People don't go to a 5 star restaurant because they're hungry or starving. They go there because they're looking for a 5 star experience. And that's rarely related to the food. But I will still give a review about your food. Your food is delicious! From the crunchy octopus as appetizer, to the amazing primi and secondi... It's all amazing. A huge compliment to the chef! Your staff, they were all very professional, gentile, and generous with their information. But now, I move on to the most important part of my review. Giada! Giada is what made your restaurant a 5 star experience. When we came, the restaurant was very calm, ut had barely two or three tables. Which allowed Giada to really provide that 5 star experience. She's one of the most sympathetic, funny, nice, sincere, approachable, and friendliest person my wife and I ever met! She had the perfect balance of allowing us to enjoy the culinary experience and enjoying amazing friendly contact with her. Her funny, personal and friendly comments were what made our evening spectacular. And obviously, it's her service that made us feel in a 5 star restaurant. We've already had amazing 5 star food before. But if the waiter who is serving is doesn't do their job right, let's be honest... Who enjoys the food? Giada grasps the very basic understanding of how to connect with clients and give them exactly what they want. It's funny that we didn't even have to wait until we needed anything. Whenever we tried to reach someone to ask for something, she was somehow available in 5 seconds at our table. What more could we ask for? I'll answer that: nothing. Great job Porta Lion for hiring a professional. We wish the restaurant all the best, much success, and for sure we're coming back next time we visit the region. You rock! And thanks Giada :)

No idea why this place isn‘t rated 5.0 overall compared to basically any other lake garda place. Creative, great and tasty food with exceptional service, keep it up, so good!!! 🤌🏻 thank you for the great evening

Great food served with politeness and competence. Great wines too, tough a bit expensive, but it's ok given the quality. Service may appear slow but it's because it's all cooked at the moment

Awesome food and great wine. Prices are not too steep and dogs are welcome. Much better than any lakeside tourist trap.

Nice lunch, good quality and good views from the table. The food was good (but not exceptional) and the location was perfect. Staff were efficient.

Excellent place to eat right on the edge of the lake

Among best fish restaurants in town! Superb service!

This is a fantastic restaurant! Food was among the best I've had in Italy. The city of Lazise is charming and the restaurant has a beautiful lake view. Highly recommended! Try their carbonara!

Beautiful place, especially at sunset 😍

Very bad service, it took way too long für the waitress to bring the food and it was also pretty bad. The "Yogurth Ball" for example was too sweet and barely eatebly. Don't get attracted by the view because if you decide to eat at this bistro you'll definitely regret it!

All the dishes were very good: The pasta and the fish. The prices are acceptable, we were actually surprised to pay less then we would have expected. So all in all a recommendation - if you should be in town: give Il Porticciolo a try!
