Lots of history in that building. Puccini used to sojourn there and I heard that some guests used to complain because he was playing the piano late at night…. You cannot please everyone.
Yes indeed. We had lovely meals in the restaurant over the years. Roberto is such a charming host and an excellent cook by all accounts. I believe he offers cookery courses and to be recommended if the morning cakes in Hotel Regina are anything to go by.
Also had some very enjoyable meals on the veranda ,overlooking a moonlit river with my very good friend Giovanni Giambastiani ( whom I believe was Roberto, cousin)
Had many lovely meals on the veranda overlooking the moonlit river with my very good friend Giovanni Giambastiani ( whom I believe was Roberto,s cousin ) such sweet memories.

Silly guests.

The restaurant hasn’t been open for a while. I particularly like sitting on the outdoor terrace.

I hope the terrace is open next spring and summer. The restaurant is sorely missed.
I imagine the road is now wider. Love the pics for contrast. Good research.
I doubt that the road is much wider than it was. The buildings on either side have been there a long time.
I would love it if the restaurant was to open.
Yes, we need it at Ponte.
I remember that lovely looking building.
We had a wonderful meal there, hopefully it will re-open soon.
It is good to see the building well maintained.
It would be interesting to see what would have been on the menu in 1900….
