Where
Riva del Garda

Al Volt is a restaurant in the historic centre of Riva del Garda, on Via Fiume, a couple of streets from the lake. Its cooking starts from Trentino tradition, with seasonal and local produce, and tells it with today's technique. It is reviewed in the MICHELIN Guide. It is a good table for a quiet dinner after a day of wind on the north of the lake.

The house

You eat in whitewashed rooms with vaults and stone arches, with white tablecloths and antique furniture. It is a place of careful service and a dinner pace, not of fast meals between excursions.

The menu

The menu changes with the seasons. When we consulted it, in November 2026, starters ran from €18 to €21, with a trout tartare with datterino tomato gazpacho or a veal tongue carpaccio; first courses, €18 to €20, with homemade tagliolini with tench ragù, osso buco ravioli with Trentingrana fondue and saffron or spaghetti with Castelmagno and black truffle. For main courses, meats from €26 to €28, such as low-temperature veal cheek or suckling pig shank, and fish at €24: Arctic char with vegetable spaghetti or a skewer of coregone, a lake fish, coated in corn with Nosiola wine sauce. Desserts cost €9.

There are three tasting menus: one of freshwater fish and another of house cooking, at €65 per person and for a minimum of two, and a vegetarian one at €60.

Hours and booking

It is open Tuesday to Friday for dinner only, from 19:00 to 22:00, and on Saturdays and Sundays also at lunchtime, from 12:30 to 14:00. It is closed on Mondays. Book by phone, on +39 0464 552570, by email or with the form on its website; they confirm the table.

Getting there

It is in Riva's old town, with narrow streets and restricted traffic: park outside the centre and continue on foot. From Torbole it is about ten minutes by car or a long walk along the shore.

What to order: the freshwater fish menu, or the tagliolini with tench ragù and the Arctic char.
