The story
In one of the most alluring alleyways of Sirmione, right beside the medieval Scaliger Castle, La Rucola 2.0 makes its mark. The restaurant’s own motto – “The show must go on” – hints at a kitchen that treats every plate as a performance. The setting is intimate, with outdoor seating for warm evenings and air-conditioned comfort inside, all within easy reach of Lake Garda’s historic heart.
La Rucola 2.0 earned a Michelin star for its high quality cooking, a recognition that underscores the precision and creativity of its contemporary menu. Guests choose between an à la carte selection and a tasting menu, both designed to showcase the kitchen’s modern approach. The wine list is notably interesting, carefully curated to complement the evolving flavours.
The dessert menu offers a glimpse into the restaurant’s inventive spirit. Options include a dark chocolate and rhubarb creation with Valpolicella, a tangy cream-cotta with hay, honey and smoked milk, and a yuzu dessert with coconut biscuit and semi-candied kumquat. Teas and tisanes – like the refreshing “Limoncello” blend or a digestive “Magia del Lago” – round out the meal with equal care.
Whether for lunch or dinner, La Rucola 2.0 delivers a polished, personal experience that lives up to its star.
