Restaurant Review: El Convento

Driving from Desenzano in northern Italy on the rural road that leads to Lonato proper you’ll find a precious, memory-making restaurant known as El Convento.
As the name suggests, this place is a repurposed convent from years gone by.

They serve an excellent antipasto buffet, and one of the best gnocchi entrees my husband and I have ever had. They make their own house wine and olive oil, go nuts with romantic atmosphere and classic Mediterranean geraniums and bougainvillea.
If you are traveling in this neck of the woods, and have the luxury of access to a car, consider checking out El Convento. The owners greet you at the door, treat you with friendliness and warmth and really have a great thing going here. Worth checking out or including on a honeymoon trip.
