A charming restaurant with excellent, simple cuisine.<br>The waitresses were efficient and very friendly.<br>Our only complaint was the lack of vegetables on the menu or as a side dish when we were there.
Dined at Ize whilst staying at the Araba Fenice Hotel. Great ambience in a beautiful location overlooking the lake. Food was excellent, particularly the risotto with local cheese. Staff were charming, led by the charismatic Sonya, who gave great recommendations for both food and wine. Highly recommended.
They should have a Michelin star. Thank you sonja & Petronella!!
What an experience! Sonia and Petronella are very friendly waitresses. Everything was totally fine. We got a glass of cava and an ´amuse´ from the house, and sat outside with a view at the lake. Izé restaurant is worthy of a Michelin star!
Let's start with the service.<br>Besides banging plates and glasses,<br>No one explained the dish to us or what we were eating.<br>The tuna tartare was actually slices of carpaccio with avocado and I don't know what it was because no one explained it to us.<br>The same goes for the hummus arancini.<br>These were also good, but no one explained them to us either.<br><br>We then ordered a pasta dish that tasted only of oil and had no taste of clams or shrimp.<br>My lightly fried Squid Nest* was actually fried Squid.<br>It arrived cold and rubbery.<br>The ingredients are certainly excellent quality, but they were under-appreciated.<br><br>The service was clearly a bit inexperienced. All in all, we saved the day with €55 per person.<br>Including a dessert (very good), two waters, and two glasses of sparkling wine.
If you're celiac, it's best to avoid it.<br><br>The setting is beautiful and very charming.<br>It's a shame about the lack of attention paid to celiacs or anyone with food allergies.<br><br>I ordered a dish from the menu that didn't list the allergen, but the unprepared waiter came back after asking the kitchen, telling me I'd have to change the dish.<br>They brought me some packaged bread and asked if they could toast it for me, but they told me it wasn't possible (after I told them I wouldn't eat it that way, they toasted it).<br>I found some nice bones in my fish main course.<br><br>They also brought my husband a dish that didn't list gluten, but it actually contained flour.<br><br>I'd been there years ago and had a great time, but now I have to be honest, I haven't had such a great time. Too bad.
Fantastic location, practically on the lake, refined dishes, very attentive and precise service, reasonable prices, we highly recommend.
Have them 5 stars to get your attention. Don’t eat here, they don’t care because the hotel feeds them customers and they don’t have to.<br>Stayed at the hotel and looked forward to fine dining but . . . the dinner reservation for one of their two seatings made at the desk was not transmitted to the restaurant. Seated us anyway, sort of felt they thought it was our fault, then waiter explained the menu and never came back for the order, no bread, nothing. Left after 45 minutes for a local pizza bar.<br>Poorly done. Shouldn’t try to seat everyone at 7 and 9 pm seatings; couldn’t handle it. They lost a big spender that night.
Magnificent lake views from this restaurant, featuring creative and delicious cuisine from a talented young chef.<br><br>Extremely attentive and professional service with great kindness.<br>A must-try.
The restaurant was chosen primarily for its location and photos.<br>Pleasantly surprised by the quality.<br>It's been a long time since I've tasted shrimp this fresh. The first and second courses are well-prepared, and the service is attentive.<br>Recommended for couples. They have a very romantic lakeside terrace.
What can I say? A unique and ultra-luxurious restaurant! From the moment you enter, you're enveloped in an aura of elegance that carries you from start to finish! The dining room staff were attentive and meticulous. We had an aperitif with a gin and tonic, a select African gin that was out of this world. We each chose two courses and dessert, and it was a journey of discovery through the chef's unique and authentic flavors! I truly recommend trying this extraordinary restaurant at least once in your life; it left me with amazing memories! I'll definitely be back!
Unfortunately, the management and chef have changed. This is my review of the previous management. I've been to IZE several times and never left a review. It's about time! Aside from the extraordinary lakeside location, the service is efficient and friendly, and Chef Carlo Spina's cuisine is astonishing in its flavor, creativity, and selection and attention to ingredients. The wine list is well-stocked. Excellent value for money. I'll always be happy to return!
Everything was in place for a great evening: the setting, the terrace, the lake—if only the service had been up to scratch. We arrived at the restaurant with a reservation and, after being shown to our table, we constantly had to interrupt the waiters for menus, water, etc. Otherwise, no one paid any attention to us, all delivered with legendary rudeness. The dinner was decent but not particularly worth the trip; perhaps the smell of rotting algae on the surface, due to lack of maintenance, didn't help. In short, disappointing.
The location is beautiful, and the interior is really nice, especially being right next to the lake and hotel. Unfortunately, that was the highlight of our visit.<br><br>The service was quite slow, and the staff came across as rather cold and unwelcoming. The food was okay but nothing memorable, especially considering the prices. The meat was also very dry, which was disappointing. Overall, we expected a lot more based on the setting.
Terrible welcome, appalling waiters. We had a reservation for a table at 9 pm and waited 35 minutes before a waiter came to see us. What a shame, because the setting is magnificent, so we left without having received any service. Very disappointed. Avoid at all costs.
What can I say? Everything was excellent! The five-star staff were obviously very kind, we had a really good time! Thank you so much.
We were greeted by incredibly warm and attentive staff. The four of us enjoyed a variety of fantastic dishes and wonderful wines (thank you, Max!). The cuisine was excellent and refined.<br><br>The terrace is wonderful, right on the lake, offering an incredibly beautiful view. Magical! 🤩 We will definitely be back!!
