IL Lago II - By La Barca in Zwenkau

Everything was amazing!! The food, the courteous and friendly service, the coffee and the wintry, mystical atmosphere at the lake. Many thanks to the entire team at “Il Lago” 😃!

Very good food, service is always very friendly and attentive, prices are reasonable for the quality

Cozy cafe on the lake shore. Comfortable. We come here quite often. I recommend it.

Friendly service, even with a larger group you can get a seat spontaneously. Good price-performance ratio

Delicious food, top service, the best address when it comes to typical regional dishes on Lake Zwenkauer.

It was great and the price was affordable and more than reasonable. The waitresses were very friendly!

Unfortunately no card payment, but the friendly staff gave us a ball. That's what I call hospitality.

Really great food, super tasty.

As always… a good selection of food and friendly service at the table. See you soon 👋🏼

Always happy and in every season. We are now regulars.

There is and remains a difference when you eat at a “real” Italian restaurant 🇮🇹👍 It was very tasty there and we will definitely come back.

Just bad! We just wanted to have a relaxed 6th dinner. It started when they messed up the drink order. Large drinks were small and some were missing entirely. Now about the order, about 30 minutes later the food arrived. Ok in itself... but then there was one pizza, the dough wasn't cooked through and was as thin as paper. Then complained and then everyone was finished eating at the table. After 30 minutes the pizza we complained about arrived. I let her go back. Saying I should take her with me. Simply no! Save yourself the visit. A table away also had problems.

High quality of food, very friendly staff, perfect view, would be happy to come again. Best regards Uwe

The place right on the lake is very nice, the staff is very friendly. Unfortunately the menu only had pizza and pasta, I would have liked fish or a meat dish on it, the pizza was. It was very tasty to eat with mozzarella and there was also olives and bread as a welcome gift from the house. That's why one star less because you can perhaps increase the selection a little.

Good food, super friendly service and the view of the beautiful lake were unique 😁

We love this restaurant because Italian hospitality is the name of the game here. You feel like you've been on holiday a little bit. The food is delicious and the ambience by the lake is beautiful. We like to come back again and again.

We chose this location to enjoy a nice Sunday afternoon. I ordered an ice cream sundae for which I had to wait 30 minutes and when it was finally brought I realized that it wasn't what I ordered. No problem, I should get a new one. For which I had to wait another 30 minutes. In the meantime my partner had already reached the end with his tiramisu and coffee. When the ice cream sundae I had ordered was brought to the table after an hour, I realized again that it did not correspond to the order I had placed at all. What's so hard about an ice cream sundae that contains 3 scoops of yogurt ice cream and strawberries? In the end I gave up ice cream completely and we paid and left. Furthermore, I really have to mention the arrogant manner of the waiters. This location is not in any price-performance ratio and I definitely cannot recommend it. It's a shame that there is no competition here.

Apparently they didn't want us as guests. I just wanted to ask for a table and was mocked, they didn't let me finish and denied my question in the middle of a sentence. Overall, I didn't feel taken seriously and didn't feel welcome at all. Very, very unfriendly and completely for no reason. I'm horrified.

Very nice, nice service, good food…

Very nice location right on the water, the food was of great quality. The service was quick and professional. Thank you dear team. It is advisable to reserve during peak times. We will come back.

A really nice place. Just wanted a coffee with ice cream from the ice cream stand that was next door to the restaurant. Unfortunately it wasn't clear that the ice cream stand wasn't serving anything at the table. So we just had a coffee, which was fine. There was also some tension in the air between the restaurant owner and the staff. Too bad! However, I can't comment on the food. Later, however, we each ate a scoop of ice cream from the ice cream stand, which again was highly recommended. Unfortunately, nothing was possible with ice cream cones, only paper cups 🤷.

Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio is not good, even if you sit in a nice atmosphere. Portions small, poorly seasoned, let alone the absolutely overpriced starter plate... nothing special, regardless of whether it was pizza or pasta. Service is good, it could be a little friendlier and a little quicker, but overall it's okay. Maybe for an aperitif again, otherwise skip it.

Unfortunately the food was subpar. Embarrassing for an Italian. The pasta was floating in oil, had no seasoning and was definitely al dente. With the lasagna you could look for the pasta sheets between the overcooked minced meat sauce. And the crowd was also a joke. Maybe enough for a child, but definitely not a portion for an adult. When complained, the chef became cheeky and asked if anyone else had a problem. At least the food wasn't charged when paying. Otherwise definitely not recommended.

The restaurant has a great location overlooking the harbor. But that's where the positive ends. We were greeted very rudely by an older waiter and ignored. Another waiter brought us a card and the service was good. The food was beyond bad. The waiter apologized and offered us espresso and grappa. We definitely won't be coming back

A gelateria (ice cream parlor) that does not serve ice cream. A pity!

Very nice staff, a wonderful view and super delicious food.

Very friendly, very tasty, very nice view of the small harbor

Delicious pizza, friendly staff

There were three of us and Il Lago was our first stop on our spontaneous trip. What can you say? Disappointing as a restaurateur? I don't know. Ambience: Well. A few flowers on the outdoor tables would make it a little more inviting. For the “Hot Cherries with Vanilla Ice Cream” only the vanilla ice cream should be replaced with chocolate. Lt. The waitress said this wasn't possible, but you could queue up at the ice cream stand and buy a scoop of chocolate. I don't understand the problem of simply replacing the scoop of ice cream?! In the end it became a latte. The cup of coffee would have made you think it was espresso. And last but not least, the shandy was at room temperature. Not so hot on a hot day. Conclusion: In 2 out of 3 things alone, Il Lago is out of the running for us and does not qualify for further visits. Everyone has to decide for themselves or just try it out. These are merely empirical values.

Beautifully located restaurant with a great view of the harbor, pizza was delicious, service was very nice and quick, great ice cream sundaes.

Great location, very nice staff. Unfortunately there was only one ice cream sundae and ice cream cafe/ice chocolate. That was super tasty and recommended. Otherwise we haven't tried the "warm" food yet, we'll do that next time 😉

1 scoop of ice cream 2 euros, the scoop is tiny. When asked, the seller becomes unfriendly. View very nice

Super fast and courteous service. Very creative and delicious cuisine!

The restaurant management and staff are great, the service is excellent, and the prices are acceptable

Food was very tasty!!! Super friendly service. Upon request, my daughter received almost endless cookies. Everything perfect! Great restaurant. Thank you for the lovely evening. We will be back! 🥰

Great location by the lake and enjoy the sunset while eating. What more do you want.

We were there with a larger group. Some of the food was already cold. The portions were clear but tasty. All in all: There are better and cheaper Italian restaurants that I like to go to again and again.

Food was delicious and the service was great too

Very well eaten! Friendly and attentive service in the outdoor area with a view of the harbor. Price-performance is ok!

**Review for the Ristorante Trattoria & Gelateria Ill Lago On my last visit to the restaurant, I was rewarded not only with a **breathtaking view of the boat harbor**, but also with **exceptionally friendly service** that welcomes every guest like an old friend. The meal was a real treat - **every bite** was a perfect blend of traditional Italian flavors and a touch of modern sophistication. Whether you are a fan of pasta, pizza or a fine risotto, here you will find **quality and taste** that could transport you to a small alley in Rome. For anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine with a pinch of warmth, the Ristorante is an absolute must. ---

What a beautiful evening! We enjoyed a great Italian evening with a view of the lake in the beautiful evening sun. Starter, main course and drinks were great. The service was extremely friendly and nice. All of our wishes were taken into account. We would like to say a big thank you to the team at Trattoria Gelateria “Il Lago”

I only had a coffee in this beautiful place, but the staff was very nice and they even refilled my bike water bottles. Thanks! Unfortunately I can't judge the food, but it looked fresh at the neighboring tables :)

I like being there friendly service , beautiful landscape, good bike path, what more could you want.

It actually took me a year to write this review. The olive starter was served with small wooden skewers and was delicious. For the main course we ordered pasta with shrimp! The main course arrived, the atmosphere was great and I wanted to leave a nice review on Google. To get a better look at the shrimp, I took this small wooden skewer from the starter and draped the shrimp a little more upwards. Suddenly the boss came to me angrily…. why I go back and forth with the “toothpick” (that’s what he called the chopstick) in his food. Loudly in front of all the guests🙈 Terribly aggressive! This way doesn't work at all! A quiet inquiry at the table would have been professional. I paid and didn't even taste it. It's a shame but the waiters were very nice.

Good location by the lake, nice terrace, but in the fresh weather we had to sit inside, and it's not comfortable there, the tables are close, someone keeps walking past your back, very loud, both from the employees (cutlery banging on each other), as well as from the guests (chair legs gathering on the floor, children running). The food was good, but the atmosphere was like in a commercial kitchen.

We were looked after fantastically and the food was delicious

Food, service, value for money are absolutely top - the ambience is great if you can sit at the harbor, in the restaurant there is a little room for improvement if you sit in the middle of it. Anyone who likes Italy is in good hands here.

It all took a while, but very tasty

The restaurant "Il Lago" in Zwenkau offers a wonderful combination of excellent cuisine, warm service and a fantastic location right on the lake. During my last visit I was impressed by the friendly and attentive nature of the staff. From the greeting to the farewell, I always felt welcome and well looked after. The staff are not only professional, but also authentically friendly, which contributes to a very pleasant atmosphere. The location of “Il Lago” is simply fantastic. The restaurant is located right on the lake promenade, which makes for a picturesque view. Especially on sunny days, it is a pleasure to sit outside and enjoy the fresh sea air while trying the delicious dishes. The decor is stylish and cozy, both indoors and on the outdoor terrace, making dining a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The menu offers a diverse selection of Italian and Mediterranean specialties. From crispy wood-fired pizzas to fresh pasta dishes and tempting desserts, there is something here to suit every taste. I would particularly like to highlight the Neapolitan pizza, which is prepared with fresh ingredients and great attention to detail. In summary, "Il Lago" is a perfect place to indulge in culinary delights while enjoying the idyllic surroundings. I can only warmly recommend this restaurant and look forward to my next visit.

A real Italian restaurant with friendly service and delicious food… After a hike in the beautiful area, there is a perfect place to take a break and enjoy Italian delicacies right on the promenade with a view of the small harbor. We just wanted to have something to eat until we set off on the lake cruise on the Santa Barbara. Whether savory with bitters and caprese or sweet as a cappuccino with homemade tiramisu - you will start again very tasty and satisfied. We are convinced that you can also have a wonderful dinner here and spend a perfect early summer evening. Conclusion: absolutely recommended!

Super tasty ice cream, large portions and super friendly service. THANKS.

5 stars in all respects. The atmosphere is really nice, the staff are friendly and accommodating, the food is delicious. You are served immediately and don't have to wait long. There's nothing to complain about here... We feel comfortable and would love to come back. Thanks...

Super nice and funny staff, what more could you want. 😃🙋

Super nice place, very nice friendly restaurant

Zero stars, never again. When we wanted to pay, we were told that “all” the waiters had lunch now. Finally we were insulted and shouted at by the boss and insulted that the “Germans” never had time. It's worth noting that after half an hour of waiting, I politely asked again if I could pay. Something like this has never happened to us before, unfortunately none of the guests dared to express their opinion about it. Nobody is allowed to eat there anymore, it's really bad.

I'm very disappointed, I've never been served so badly at an Italian restaurant, and that on Mother's Day. The order was taken incorrectly! At the neighboring table, schnapps was given twice, but we didn't have any... But the view is very nice.

We were there on the weekend two weeks ago. I only ate one tiramisu, but I wasn't impressed with the taste. Then I drank a Crodino and since I had already drunk a Crodino somewhere else the day before, I had a direct comparison and I have to say, this one was diluted with water and then added ice??? If I had let this thaw, I would have almost drunk pure water. And the whole thing for 8.50 euros, so hello... for me the price-performance ratio is not right at all. That's why I definitely won't sit here anymore! But the view of the lake was very nice, but Il Lago can't do anything about that.

Very tasty and great service and very friendly. I will gladly come again.

Super tasty pizza, friendly service - we'll be happy to come back!

Very nice hosts and the food was excellent! The location of the restaurant is right on the lake... fantastic...

Very nice restaurant right on the lake

Very nice and tasty Italian restaurant, the food was great❤️The price is also completely ok for 2 people, 2 drinks, 1 starter + 2 main courses 43€, you can't complain! And...there is a small bowl of olives with bread, free of charge, which is still rare to find 👌👍we decided to go there more often!!!

Hi, We have now ordered for the umpteenth time and eaten at home, simply because we live nearby. Very tasty, very friendly, despite the full restaurant, pizzas, penne, dessert a poem😊 See you soon, then on the patio. Keep it up! LG from Zwenkau Lange family

Extremely expensive, half a liter of water costs 5.40 euros and very unfriendly if you want to pay by credit card, the boss gets angry. The fact is, we won't see you here again, especially the cheeky boss. In addition, every shop says that no card payment is possible, it doesn't say this here, it's a pure rip-off restaurant.

After 40 minutes of waiting we left?!?

Attractive location, nice staff - very accommodating, clear menu so guaranteed fresh products, great view of Lake Zwenkauer. Today we had the appetizer plate that was very oily, the price was too high, and the portion was too small for two people.

Everything perfect at a reasonable price, ambience and service.

EC card payments are only possible from €30, payment with VISA or MasterCard is not possible at all. Welcome to 2024, it won't be like that 😅

Food was very good Service very friendly Italian culture 🤩🤩🤩 Perfect view 😍😍

When we are at Lake Zwenkauer we like to come here for an Italian restaurant. Located directly on the harbor with a view of the harbor, you can always sit very comfortably and experience the sunset. There is typical Italian cuisine. So far we have always been right with our choice of food and drinks. Thank you for your hospitality.

Some pasta dishes and the pizzas are quite good, the prices are just ok. The staff is mostly friendly, but sometimes overwhelmed. Thursday rest day.

We were guests on a Saturday evening without a reservation. The fact that we hadn't made a reservation wasn't a problem - we were greeted in a friendly and very polite manner and shown to the table. Less than 2 minutes later we received the menu and the order was taken courteously. While we waited we received a snack basket with bread and olives. The waiting time to receive the drinks and food was very short. The meals we ordered were very appetizingly prepared and incredibly tasty. The price-performance ratio is fair, the atmosphere in the restaurant is nicely designed and the staff is really friendly. We would definitely love to come and eat with you again! :-) Thank you for this lovely evening. ☺️

I'm a fan. Everything you expect is fulfilled. Get a picture.

Netter Service und der Blick auf den See ist natürlich auch fein, aber das Essen ist leider nur Medium. Die Pizza hat einen guten Teig ist aber leider etwas fad im Geschmack. Die Nudeln etwas verkocht und aber auch diesen fehlt es an Geschmack. Leider etwas teuer für das was man bekommt.

Wir haben auf der Terrasse Eis gegessen und ein Radler getrunken. Alles bestens

Tolle Lage, unkomplizierte Reservierung, gutes italienisches Essen, Preis Leistung stimmt und am wochtigsten: Hat Montags geöffnet!!!

Super Lage, super Preise und super Bedienung, was will man mehr, letztes Jahr entdeckt bei einem Ausflug, wir kommen immer wieder

Sehr freundliches Personal. Man muss nicht lange auf das Essen warten & das Essen ist sehr lecker 😋

Man sitzt sehr schön am Hafenbecken mit Blick über den See. Sonnenuntergang und gutes Essen , was will man mehr? Tischreservierung klappt telefonisch wie üblich sehr gut, das Personal ist freundlich und höflich- nichts auszusetzen. Der Laden war voll, die Wartezeiten moderat, aber wer es eilig hat kann ja zum Schnellimbiss gehen.

Wunderschön am kleinen Hafen gelegen.

Top Lage und Top Küche. Es geht kaum besser.

Schöne Lage, wir haben uns nur kurz aufgehalten, trotz Gelateria im Namen kein Eis

Sehr sehr lecker, Preise mehr als in Ordnung, toller Service, obwohl gerade auch Schulanfang und demzufolge sehr voll war. Trotzdem keine lange Wartezeit. Mega Ambiente. Super, das nächste Mal ist schon in Planung :)

Wir waren heute spontan hier auf eine Pizza. Aufgrund der schlechten Rezensionen waren wir skeptisch, dann aber positiv überrascht. Die Pizza war sehr lecker, dünner knuspriger Boden. Aussicht auf den Hafen und ein kaltes Getränk, was will man mehr. Wir kommen gerne wieder! Grazie mille!

Gute Lage am Kap Zwenkau mit Blick auf den See, gutes italienisches Essen, sehr schöne Karte, aber bei den Speisen noch bisschen italienische Luft nach oben.

Sehr gemütlich und familiär. Wir kommen im Sommer regelmäßig, auch spontan hier her und haben immer einen Tisch bekommen. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und weiß mittlerweile über die Vorlieben. Vielen lieben Dank für die zahlreichen schönen Abende Wir kommen gerne hier her! Familie Rauch / Blumenstein

Sehr empfehlenswert. Flink, freundlich, super leckeres Essen. Dankeschön an das gesamte Team.

Liebes il Lago Team, vielen Dank für eure Gastfreundschaft und das leckere Essen, wir haben eure Karte rauf und runtergefuttert und alles war sehr sehr lecker. Liebe Grüsse von den beiden mit dem Rucksack und den 2 Hunden....

Super Essen und sehr freundliches Personal

Schönes Restaurant, waren leider zu früh dort, hatte noch keinen Hunger! Sehr nette Bedienung!

Wir wurden sofort bedient. Getränke und essen waren sehr schnell am Tisch. Alles war super. Vielen Dank.

Plastikstühle an der Straße, mit Kind 10 min auf Getränkebestell Frage warten, Pasta nicht al dente und nichts besonderes. Dazu und dafür sehr teuer.

Früher war es hier besser. Essen und Service hat nachgelassen. Schade für so einen schönen Ort.

Wahnsinnig leckere Pizza und toller Service mit Blick auf den KAP Zwenkau. Immer einen Besuch wert.

Direkt am Zwenkauer See, sehr schön. Leider waren die Tische in der 1.Reihe mit Blick zum Hafen mit Flatterband abgesperrt. Deshalb ein Punkt Abzug beim Ambiente. Personal sehr freundlich, Essen kam schnell. Der Salat war nicht herausragend, aber frisch und lecker. Es gab Baguette mit Oliven als kleine Vorspeise aufs Haus. Alles in allem sehr empfehlenswert.

Loyalitäte Menschen, danke euch

Man sollte am Wochenende reservieren.

Personal sehr freundlich und die von uns bestellte Pizza war sehr lecker.

ausgezeichneter Service 👍 und ein sehr schöner Ort, den ich empfehlen kann 100%

Netter Service und schnelle Bedienung.
