Il Larice Club

Il Larice is one of those places that stays on one's list of restaurants to visit again. Tucked away in Cadrezzate overlooking the Lago di Monate, the location is breathtaking for this restaurant and its beach club. We were lucky to get the last early-bird table on a Saturday night.

The ambience was welcoming as we were greeted by friendly waiters and directed to a well-laid table with crisp linen napkins and a cheerful red flower as the centerpiece. The chairs were acrylic and were flexible and comfortable. Some of us opted for a starter of pesce e verdure fritto and others for a pizza. The fritto platter was hot and crispy. The pizza 🍕 with its thin base and excellent tomato 🍅 topping was really delicious. The EV olive oil (and I took a photo) showed much care and taste in purchasing choice by the restaurant manager. What struck us though was dessert, which was not on par with the rest of the meal: a very small portion of an apple cake in a ramekin dish served with basil cream. The basil cream sounded enticing, but was actually a tad disappointing. Plus the price of 7 euro was exorbitant for that portion size...

To round up, Il Larice was a very pleasant and friendly restaurant serving good food, which was jam-packed on that Saturday night when we left - that says it all!

Couldn't fault the place.. Seafood was perfect.. Pizzas were perfect.. Service was ideal.. Sat right next to the lake, ideal place to take children. Will visit again..

Brilliant place at lake Monate. Very clean, reasonably priced, good restaurant, English speaking staff. The lake is deep but there is a 30m shallow part from the beach. You need to buy a yearly membership though.

A lovely place. The best lake around Milan to take a bath.
A lot of services, place for playing summer sports, bar/restaurant and a barbecue area super cool

The best beach in the region and the cleanest and the warmest lake. Very well organized and maintained place. Warmly recommended!

A magic corner of the lake of Monate very well equipped and managed. A professional team supports the guests.

A place for sunlovers who would like to enjoy the beauty of nature alone, with kids or dogs. Great restaurant on site as well.

Amazing surprise. Large garden area next to the lake. Must-see

Really well organised and friendly staff
Definitely a favourite place to spend a day

Grass beach with toilet/changing room facilities, barbeques can be booked in advance, bar/restaurant serves food and ice-creams.

Water with sand, beach volleyball, table tennis, barbecues. The perfect place!

Nice place to be to chill and to relax near the lake

What a place, get the canoe and go out on the water, you will not regret it!
