Since 1960, mother Lucia has been churning out lasagna and roasts for the pleasure of visitors to this corner of the lake. In 2017, with her children Anna, administrator, and Andrea, manager, she took over the historic Locanda Torricella, formerly Albergo Sereno, a 1960s establishment still trapped in the atmosphere of those years, located a few meters from the entrance to Gabriele d’Annunzio’s Vittoriale degli italiani in Gardone Riviera.
With chef Reta and chef de partie Anna giving her a hand, mother Lucia and family give you a warm and appetizing welcome.


We are happy to host themed evenings for aniversaries and conferences, we organize evenings with live music on the summer terrace and we offer among other dishes our Brescian skewer.
