Back in the fall of 2019, we took a last-minute, spur-of-the-moment day trip to Laghi, Italy. It's not far from us, but worlds away in that it's a pristine, quiet town in the foothills of the pre-Dolomites. I'm a member of a local Facebook travel group, and a few people there had mentioned it. The town is tiny, tiny, and is flanked by two small lakes (Laghi is "lakes" in Italian. We parked and took a nice serene walk around the lakes, then tried the only restaurant in town for lunch. (Trattoria Dalla Santa). We actually stopped in to the restaurant before our walk to ask if they could seat us, since there's 6 of us. They told us to come back in an hour, so we did.
It was a beautiful, slightly cool fall day, and our family all enjoyed the stroll around the outskirts of Laghi. Afterwards, we really enjoyed eating at the Trattoria. Their specialty is homemade pasta with a choice of three sauces. Gnocchi is really good there, as the right kind of potatoes grow in the foothills of these mountains. I got their homemade gnocchi with sage-butter sauce. It was so good! I hope we can go back to visit this beautiful place sometime soon., as soon as this craziness is over.
