Villetta Annessa: Michelin-Recommended Grill & Classic Cuisine in Riva del Garda

An Intimate Setting Above the Lake

Within the historic Villa Miravalle, Villetta Annessa offers a refined escape in Riva del Garda. The dining room blends original character with contemporary touches, creating an atmosphere that is both elegant and reserved. In warmer months, the experience moves outdoors to a panoramic terrace set among greenery, with views across Lake Garda. Here, the landscape becomes part of the meal, and the evening unfolds at a unhurried pace.

Grill as the Heart of the Kitchen

Fire and smoke are central to the kitchen’s approach. The restaurant’s specialty is grilled meat, prepared with a careful hand that respects the raw ingredient. Cuts are selected with precision, and the open flame coaxes out deep, authentic flavour. Alongside the grill, the chef works with seasonal vegetables and local produce, composing plates that balance tradition with a modern sensibility. The result is a style of classic cuisine that feels grounded and deliberate.

A Michelin-Recommended Evening

Villetta Annessa’s commitment to quality has earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction, a recognition that aligns with the restaurant’s quiet confidence. The kitchen does not chase trends but instead focuses on what it does best: straightforward, well-executed dishes that let the ingredients speak. The grill remains the anchor, but the surrounding menu changes with the seasons, reflecting what the territory offers at its peak.

Dinner service is held on Saturday evenings and public holidays, with a minimum age of 14 to preserve the calm atmosphere. The restaurant can also be reserved for private events on other days, making it a versatile choice for celebrations or business dinners. Whether seated inside among the refined interiors or outside with the lake as a backdrop, Villetta Annessa delivers a meal that is both intimate and memorable.
