| Aquarius - by Sheila Munro from United Kingdom - 2007-06-28 | | Aquarius in the village of Malcesine is a small family run business. It closed after the death of the much respected manager and has re-opened May 2007. The food is out of this world, if you want something from their range of pizzas, classic Italian recipes or like me something without fish they will do their best to accommodate you they always use the freshest of ingredients to tempt your pallet. This is the place to go for anything from lunch to celebratory dinner to light suppers all are treated the same. The service is unobtrusive but at the same time attentitative and there is prices to fit everyone’s pocket. Give them a try. |
