ristorazione — Garda · Veneto
On the shores of Lake Garda, between the Veronese hills and the water, a restaurant-pizzeria brings the Neapolitan soul all the way here, with the same fidelity Naples reserves for its own table traditions.
On the shores of Lake Garda, where the Veronese hills slope down to the water, Anema e Core brings a thoroughly Neapolitan soul to Garda. The setting is modern and carefully finished, designed to welcome: the atmosphere evokes Naples through its visual and musical references, and the menu builds a precise bridge between the Mediterranean and Campanian tradition.
The dining room tells its own origins: small framed pictures on the walls, Pino Daniele's songs in the background, a welcome that guests describe as kind and professional. The menu brings together dishes of sea and land from the Mediterranean tradition, from the house antipasto to parmigiana, from classic and special frittatine di pasta (fried pasta cakes) to montanara.
The heart of the kitchen is the wood-fired oven, from which come Neapolitan pizzas with a soft, light, well-alveolated dough, a tall cornicione (puffed crust edge), San Marzano tomato and buffalo mozzarella. The reviews converge: those arriving from Campania recognize the authenticity, while those who had never been say they did not expect to find it on the shores of Lake Garda.
