The story

About the dish

Lake Garda sits between Lombardy, Veneto, and Trentino-Alto Adige, so the cooking around it naturally crosses modern regional borders. Freshwater fish and polenta are recurring parts of that table.

Davanti's trota alla Gardesana marinated trout with onion, capers, anchovy, white-wine vinegar, and garlic, then served it with grilled polenta. Vinegar and capers sharpen the gentle fish; anchovy adds depth more than a separate “fishy” flavor; polenta gives the plate a warm, neutral base.

The name identifies the Lake Garda inspiration, while the exact balance and presentation belong to Chef Roberto's weekend preparation.
