SEAFOOD CUISINE
CONTEMPORARY SOUL
A dinner among the vineyards of the southern Garda Lake area, where seafood cuisine meets Lugana wine.
A pairing that awakens the senses and invites you to savour every moment.
NATURAL LIGHT FLOODS THE DINING ROOM.
THE FLAVOURS OF THE SEA MEET LAKE GARDA.
There are no paintings here. Instead, expansive windows frame views of lush, flowering nature and open directly onto a beautifully kept estate, surrounded by the peaceful vineyards and olive groves of Ponti sul Mincio.
An elegant yet welcoming table, where fresh seafood and a creative, carefully curated wine selection take centre stage in a sensory and refined cuisine inspired by tradition.
Porto Fino sul Mincio begins a new chapter while continuing the story of a name that is already well known and appreciated. Here, Chef Riccardo Bioni brings his personal vision to fresh seafood cuisine, in a place that forms a symbolic crossroads between the lake, the hills, the vineyards and the region’s culinary routes.
A restaurant where you can pause, savour the moment and enjoy a cuisine that brings together exceptional ingredients, technique and lightness.
FRESH SEAFOOD, EXCEPTIONAL INGREDIENTS AND THE REFINED ARTISTRY OF CHEF RICCARDO BIONI.
THE CUISINE
The cuisine at Porto Fino sul Mincio begins with the sea, striking a careful balance between freshness, technique and attention to detail.
Seafood lies at the heart of the menu: raw preparations, delicate cooking methods, grilled dishes and understated compositions that combine thoughtfully selected flavours to bring out the finest qualities of every ingredient. Alongside its seafood cuisine, the menu includes a selection of meat and vegetable dishes, all guided by the same philosophy. This allows us to welcome different tastes without losing the restaurant’s distinctive identity.
Chef Riccardo Bioni brings his international experience to the kitchen. Together with his team, he creates unexpected pairings and influences using carefully selected ingredients, giving shape to harmonious dishes that are full of flavour and tell a story through their presentation.
TASTING MENUS
A COMPLETE JOURNEY, GUIDED BY THE KITCHEN.
Porto Fino sul Mincio offers three tasting menus, each designed to provide a complete introduction to the restaurant’s cuisine.
Every menu begins with a careful selection of fresh, high-quality ingredients, transformed into balanced dishes with clear and distinctive flavours. The sequence of courses gives rhythm and harmony to the experience, maintaining a sense of lightness and a consistent culinary narrative that keeps you curious from beginning to end.
- The seafood tasting menu explores fresh fish and seafood through a variety of preparations.
- The land tasting menu introduces richer, more enveloping flavours through ingredients from the local area.
- The vegetarian tasting menu celebrates seasonal vegetables, textures and plant-based ingredients with the same care and attention devoted to the rest of the menu.
All three tasting menus are available for both lunch and dinner.
The menus follow the seasons and may vary according to ingredient availability and the creativity of the kitchen.

BETWEEN PESCHIERA DEL GARDA AND VALEGGIO SUL MINCIO, IN THE PEACEFUL SETTING OF A BEAUTIFULLY KEPT ESTATE NEAR THE LUGANA VINEYARDS.
LAKE GARDA AND THE LUGANA VINEYARDS
Porto Fino sul Mincio is located in Ponti sul Mincio, among vineyards and gentle countryside, close to Valeggio sul Mincio and Peschiera del Garda.
We enjoy a privileged position between the tranquillity of the morainic hills and the light of Lake Garda, in an area to be explored at a leisurely pace through history, nature, wine, landscapes and outdoor activities.
From here, some of the area’s most fascinating destinations are within easy reach.
San Martino della Battaglia and Solferino, with their two monumental complexes, preserve the important historical memory of the battle fought on 24 June 1859. Nearby Custoza is a charming village nestled among the morainic hills and is renowned for the white DOC wine that bears its name.
Desenzano del Garda e Sirmione sono perfette per una passeggiata sul lago o per un’escursione in Stand Up Paddle (SUP) attorno alla penisola di Sirmione, con una prospettiva unica sul Castello Scaligero, sulle fortificazioni, sulle mura medievali e sulle Grotte di Catullo.
Near Porto Fino sul Mincio, Solferino tells an important chapter in the history of the Italian Risorgimento. Its Historical Museum and Ossuary preserve the memory of the battle of 24 June 1859, the event that inspired Henry Dunant to establish the Red Cross.
THE SETTING
PRIVATE PARKING, PEACEFUL SURROUNDINGS AND A CAREFULLY CURATED ATMOSPHERE.
Accanto alla storia, il territorio offre anche paesaggi da vivere all’aria aperta: il Parco del Mincio attraversa l’anfiteatro morenico con sentieri, percorsi trekking e itinerari per mountain bike che collegano le colline alle sponde del fiume.
Porto Fino è anche una tappa piacevole per famiglie con bambini, grazie alla posizione comoda per raggiungere Gardaland e CanevaWorld, sul Lago di Garda.
Il pranzo o la cena possono così diventare un momento rilassato all’interno di una giornata più ampia, tra parchi, lago, natura e movimento.
La cucina di Porto Fino offre sempre, in ogni stagione, proposte adatte ai piccoli ospiti, sia di terra, che di pesce che vegetariane.
La struttura dispone di bagno accessibile e parcheggio privato.
Si segnala che il percorso dal parcheggio ai tavoli del dehors esterno attraversa una zona in ghiaia.
È disponibile un vialetto laterale accessibile; per esigenze specifiche, consigliamo di contattarci prima della prenotazione.
