Taverna dei capitani
Authentic Culinary Experience
In the heart of the historic village of Malcesine, a few steps from the old port and under the ancient gaze of the Palazzo dei Capitani, the Taverna dei Capitani was founded in 1958.
A place where tradition meets taste, amidst exposed stone, medieval arches, and the aromas of Mediterranean cuisine.
This tavern, nestled in one of the most picturesque corners of Lake Garda, takes its name from the adjacent Venetian palace, once the seat of the Gardesana governors. Even today, it retains the authentic soul of the past: simple hospitality, attention to detail, and authentic flavors.
For over 60 years, we've been welcoming travelers, families, and foodies with locally inspired dishes, fresh ingredients, and the intimate atmosphere of our courtyard, where every dinner becomes special.
Welcome home.
