Because doing something good for others is what we love most, also and especially in our restaurant La Terrazza del Boff.
The best products are those from the zero kilometre, because they allow us to put on the table unparalleled flavours that respect the seasonality and freshness of the food, for a simply unique and delicious dinner. Read on to learn about five great benefits of local products and discover some of the highlights of our menu.
5 reasons to choose and enjoy local products
SUSTAINABILITY: choosing local products is a great way to reduce waste and pollution.
This is because the use of transport fuels and shipping costs are reduced, limiting CO2 emissions into the air. But it also means saving water (especially in the case of fruit and vegetables), packaging and even the energy needed for washing and packaging.
REDISCOVERY: Giving local products an extra chance is a wonderful opportunity to rediscover traditional local recipes and the ancient flavours that can only be achieved with what comes from, is grown and eaten in the area of origin. In this way it is also possible to offer more attention to the final customer who will taste those dishes and fall in love with them!
FRESHNESS: freshness also has another value thanks to the zero kilometre, because food that arrives in just a few minutes, instead of a few days, is not subjected to excessive temperature changes and therefore maintains both its flavour and its valuable nutritional properties intact, without the need to add preservatives.
NATURALNESS: thanks to local products, we can rediscover the benefits and pleasure of enjoying food grown according to nature, which therefore respects its true season and presents it to us on the plate in all its splendour, with typical flavours and aromas that delight our senses, from sight to smell.
SUPPORT: enhancing the local economy is easy with zero kilometre, because it helps to support local producers, feeding a virtuous circle that gives strength and power to the whole area. The result is a production that prioritises quality, diversity and the characterisation of the territory and its traditions, to make them known and appreciated by everyone. A social benefit as well as an economic one.
Lake Garda in our dishes
Lake Garda is famous for the beauty it offers at every glance and the goodness of its raw materials, excellent for creating a varied menu, full of genuine surprises and timeless traditional recipes.
Fish, for example, is a fundamental element, much loved in the Garda area and which you can also enjoy thanks to our cuisine. You can try pike with grilled polenta, trout marinated in citrus fruits or lake trout rollatina with pink pepper, and spaghetti with lake sardines and light red turnip pesto.
Meat also has an important place on our menu, from the sliced veal arrostino with tuna sauce, to the carpaccio of carne salà, with black Baldo truffle and sweet caciotta cheese.
The beef is a must, with fillet steak browned in butter and porcini mushrooms, or the half-kilo grilled rib eye.
Pasta lovers are spoilt for choice when they sit down at the Boff Terrace. For those who have never tried them, the tortellini di Valeggio on a cream of courgette and confit tomatoes are a joy to the palate, as are the tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms and black Baldo truffles. What about the ricotta and spinach gnocchi with tomato fondue and Monte Veronese flakes? We are dreaming at the very thought!
A proper dinner does not end without a good dessert. We are partial to the small Verona cake with vanilla sauce and the shortcrust pastry slice with fresh fruit. And for those who particularly appreciate classic desserts we have the irresistible tiramisu and the delicate berry panna cotta.
These dishes and more can be enjoyed at the Boffenigo in a relaxing environment with a spectacular view. Lake Garda in all its beauty before your eyes, and its unparalleled goodness in our dishes.
