"This review is written with regret with the sole objective of sparing readers a disappointing experience. To be sure, the rural setting is a pleasant change from the crowded tourist sites on the lakeside and the vegetables are home grown. But the four dishes we sampled ranged from the mediocre to the inedible, the latter referring to meat that was so tough and fatty that it was impossible to eat. To be told that if we knew anything about Italian food we would have known that mutton would be like that added insult to injury. It is hard to eat badly in Italy and harder still to be left with a sour feeling from the know-it-all attitude of the staff, on the edge of discourtesy. But, sadly, after years of travelling and eating out in Italy this was our experience at the Aquila d'Oro."
