Casa Vissani

Half-hidden along the main road and not immediately obvious if you’ve never been here before, this restaurant on Lago di Corbara is home to one of Italy’s best-known chefs. For almost fifty years, Gianfranco Vissani has been – and continues to be – one of the country’s most innovative chefs. Very few individuals have contributed as much to forging an image of Italian contemporary cuisine as he has through his many contributions and creative inventions. It could even be said that it is thanks to Vissani that Italian cuisine has reached such a high level of quality today. After arriving at the restaurant and being greeted by the chef’s son Luca, you can spend time in the lakeside garden before heading into the elegant dining room. This outdoor space is where guests can enjoy an aperitif and make their culinary choices, while the indoor dining room is the setting for elegant and impeccable service with open-view kitchens that are framed as if they were paintings. The tasting menus (Colori di Casa Vissani ) are named after colours: Gold (Oro) is traditional in style; Blue (Blu) is dedicated to fresh- and saltwater fish; Red (Rosso) to meat; and Green (Verde) to vegetables. Lastly, 7Black is a surprise menu chosen by the chef.
