Ristorante Laghi
Via Albone 27, Campogalliano

Since 1988, the Ristorante Laghi has been continuing a family tradition of good food, warm hospitality and a careful sourcing of ingredients. The cooking respects the local cultural and gastronomic heritage, while a sense of pleasure and good humor is carefully cultivated. Behind the restaurant, the family has created a small herb garden which is used year-round as a source of delicious flavors and fragrances.
