Hosted in an Austrian Fort dating back to 1860, renovated to retain its grandeur and the characteristics of the building, Ristorante "Al Forte" is situated in Pastrengo, a historic village already renowned for other historical battles, in a hilly area between Verona and Lake Garda, just one kilometre from Lazise.
It is the ideal restaurant for couples who are looking for a quiet private and romantic candlelit room, for families who get together to celebrate various anniversaries, as well as for companies that need to organise meetings in private rooms, for conventions, or for wedding receptions.
To surprise your loved ones, offer them a romantic dinner on Lake Garda in one of our charming candlelit rooms. From our menus, you can choose the one you consider most suited to their tastes or simply allocate an amount that you intend to spend on your guests.
The building, located on a hill overlooking Bussolengo, was built between 1859 and 1861 to meet
the dual need to protect Verona and the communication routes with Austria through the Val d'Adige.
The strategic position: this spot overlooks not only the city of Verona and the Atesina valley but also
the entire southern stretch of Lake Garda, Monte Baldo and the hills of the Garda area.
In 1866, the fort, which was armed with about fifteen canons and guarded by about eighty men,
passed into Piedmontese hands. Renovated in recent years, it has fully retained its original structures
and characteristics and now houses Ristorante Al Forte.
