Varenna

What to order

Varenna is an outdoor à la carte Italian restaurant set in an open-air courtyard under a large tree — one of the most relaxed dress codes on property, with sundresses and sandals fine. It's open for both lunch and dinner, making it one of the most flexible options at the resort. The housemade pasta and wood-fired pizza are the reason to come; one travel agent reviewer called the lasagna 'one of my favorites at any resort.'

• Tomato Cream Soup
  Consistently called out alongside the lasagna as the two must-order dishes at Varenna; described as 'amazing' across multiple guest reports.
• Lasagna
  The single most-praised dish at the restaurant — described as very filling and 'one of my favorites at any resort' by a travel agent reviewer.
• Caprese Salad
  Cited as an excellent starter; guests describe it as an 'authentic' preparation that earns specific praise.
• Penne Arrabiata
  Described as having 'so much flavor and just the right spicy kick' — the go-to pasta for guests who want heat.
• Seafood Risotto
  A solid entrée option noted in multiple reviews; pairs well with the caprese starter.
• Tiramisu
  The dessert guests recommend by name most often — described as a proper, well-executed finish to the meal.
• Opera Cake
  Chocolate lovers are specifically directed to this dessert in reviews; recommended alongside the tiramisu.

The à la carte menu is relatively stable but the brick-oven pizza toppings rotate; steaks are available but served without sides — order separately.
