The restaurant consists of two main rooms and a small lounge. During the summer season we dine in the pleasant garden, cool and restful. Locanda Capolago has been a pleasant discovery in which we have experienced a very cured, healthy and balanced cuisine, rich in ideas related to tradition but also modern, with cutting-edge cooking and raw materials of absolute quality.
