Really nice location with great view. Parking is also a big plus looking at the nightmare of finding a spot in Sirmione. Raw ingredients are really good (especially oysters and red shrimps). Pasta was a bit undercooked, but enjoyable for sure. Pizza was good. The restaurant has a really nice terrace that overlooks on the lake. Staff is nice and supports you in wine’s choice. I strongly recommend local white wines that pair very well with fish/seashells and help you cope with the heat.

I stayed here for two nights in mid November. There are two pools and direct access to the lake with a jetty. You could probably moor small boats. Seemed to me to be an excellent location for a family. The food we ate was very good It’s about a 15 minute flat walk to the castle area so it’s not as close as maybe advertised. enough to work off the pizza Excellent views

A wonderful view on the terrace directly on the lake. The audience comes from the hotel and elsewhere and is rather young. The menu is full of delicious dishes and pizzas. The service seems a bit harsh and at the Pasta advertised the lemon was missing.

Very nice location. Getting to see the sun set across the lake was magical! When it comes to the food and service, they rely too much on being placed beautifully. A Coke Zero can take up to three reminders and 30 minutes to arrive. The food was decent, but arrived sporadically with many having already eaten before the last got theirs.

Excellent location of the restaurant. There is parking, which is important for this place. I ordered red baked fish with fennel (it's in the photo) and tiramisu. The fish turned out to be very small, sprinkled with fennel, which was unsuccessfully baked raw. This makes it dry. dessert tiramisu - as not the best interpretation (instead of savoiardi cookies and coffee there is dry puff pastry and instead of mascarpone - I still don’t understand what)

An absolute disappointment. While the location and historical nature of the villa suggest a beautiful setting, the atmosphere created by overcrowded seating, chaotic wait staff and far below quality food completely destroys any reputation Villa Pioppi might have had. We arrived on time for our reservation, and struggled to identify the exact entrance. People went in from the side and the front, with little to no signage. Drinks were ordered, which arrived promptly, and then food: 1 appetiser of pumpkin flan, 1 tortelloni and 1 costata di scottona. The flan was average, while the accompanying bacon was as salty as the Dead Sea, and far from crisp. The tortelloni were average, and while some dishes on the menu are marked as being frozen at origin and defrosted, the tortelloni weren't; yet a few were cold in some parts, giving suspicions of being frozen or refrigerated. Last but not least, the beef, a rib-eye of 500g, for which I had high hopes. The waiter asked my preference of how cooked, to which I requested medium, but when it arrived, it was nearly blue rare. I've never sent back anything but this I requested to be cooked more. The same steak returned with some sections more cooked and others still just as rare. This could be understood if the 500g was made of width, but this was not the case; it was barely 1cm thick. The entire experience was a letdown, being held up entirely by its location and view. My recommendation is to find another spot, Villa Pioppi is not worth your money.

The view is amazing, the food is very average. Service is acceptable. Just a typical tourist place with no really reason to visit besides the view.

Nicely overlooking the lake, this place could be a romantic one if it were not lacking style. The setting is more like a huge cantina for a large office building. FOOD. Lasagna Bolognese does not have tomato in it, Cutlet a la milanese is only half cooked. BEWARE. Prices on the menu card (both at the door and the table) are interestingly smaller than those on your bill! Not a lot though, yet a disappointing cheat. At payment - you must walk inside to make payment, which is again pathetic from such a restaurant - I presented their own 10%-off Card which I was given by the nearby hotel we stayed in. Cannot help thinking this is why prices suddenly went up there and then.... Even the 10% applied was not a full 10%. ALL IN ALL cheap-feeling environment with mediocre food, and a ripoff at the end. There are many significantly better restaurants in Sirmione, avoid this one.

First and foremost, we made a reservation for our table, yet the experience we encountered was far from satisfactory. The staff apologized for unexpected guests arriving, which is not our concern, and it’s clear they were short-staffed. We waited an unacceptable 1 hour and 20 minutes for our food. During that time, we asked three different waitresses for clear glasses of water, and only one glass was eventually brought to us. After this lengthy wait, we finally inquired about the food, which had yet to arrive. When we requested an additional bottle of wine, we were informed by one server that we needed to speak with the manager. When I approached the woman I assumed was the manager, she seemed confused about our order and incorrectly stated what had been served. We pointed out that we received our forks but hadn’t been served the food yet. Given the lengthy wait and the confusion, I kindly requested compensation due to the circumstances, noting that our appetizers and main courses arrived at the same time. She claimed she wasn’t a manager and promised to send someone to assist us. Eventually, the manager arrived but did not resolve the issues effectively. We ordered coffee, and once again, our order was mixed up—resulting in us receiving an unnecessary coffee that we had not ordered. I must emphasize that the level of organization was extremely poor. Apologies do not suffice in this situation. Although we were informed that the coffee charge would be removed from the bill, my request for a complimentary bottle of wine due to the significant wait time was denied. I also asked for an “amaro” at the end, which is simply inadequate as a gesture of goodwill. As patrons who had reserved a table, it was frustrating to see other diners being seated while we waited. The wait staff struggled to manage table turnover and didn’t inform us of the delays. Adding to our disappointment, we ordered bread without any olive oil, salt, or pepper—what kind of service is this? While we appreciated some aspects of the service, the overall experience and food quality did not meet our expectations. The restaurant clearly needs to improve its organization and management to prevent future issues like these.
