The restaurant | NIN, design and art on Lake Garda

A sustainable experience in the heart of Lake Garda

Set inside the Belfiore Park Hotel, NIN blends naturally with its environment. Every element here is designed to celebrate and protect the extraordinary beauty of Lake Garda and its landscape.

Our commitment to sustainability, from the choice of ingredients to the attention paid to design, is at the heart of our philosophy and shows in every dish and every detail of the room.

La sala del NIN con le grandi finestre ad arco

Designed by Studio ABC

The project by Studio ABC, led by architects Barban and Cappellari, is a tribute to aesthetics as much as to ecological awareness.

The room opens like a natural stage onto the lake: carefully chosen materials, local and natural wherever possible, meet modern lines to create an atmosphere that is elegant, understated and warmly welcoming. Every detail is designed to reduce our environmental impact and offer an immersive, respectful experience.

Fine dining, landscape and art

NIN offers a complete sensory experience, where fine dining is interwoven with the landscape and with art, with deep respect for the environment. From the dining room the eye runs across the lake to the mountains of the Trentino shore, and the light changes the room at every hour of the day.

Artworks: echoes of nature

At NIN the sensory experience is heightened by a constant dialogue between fine dining, landscape and art. We are home to works created especially for us, reflecting our bond with the environment: not mere decorations, but living elements that invite reflection on the beauty and fragility of our planet.

Hetty Laycock

The poetry of organic matter

Hetty Laycock (Cambridge, 1997) is an artist whose practice moves between England, Italy and China. Her sculptures capture the dynamic essence of the organic world: crystallisations of matter that evoke the movement of wind and water, the forming of ice crystals and the resilient growth of mosses. The works commissioned for NIN celebrate life in all its forms and remind us how deeply natural elements are interconnected.

Racconto del vento

A vast, intricate and extremely fragile web: a metaphor for the complexity and precariousness of today’s ecosystems. The work invites us to reflect on the vulnerability of the natural landscape and to forge new, more conscious “alliances” with it.
Onda farfalla

The “natural colonisation” of the ceramic surface turns the work into a living entity, born from the artist’s collaboration with living matter. A sculpture that dissolves the boundaries between art and nature, between human and non-human.

Sans Terre

Arianna Niero, walking a land without borders

Sans Terre is the art project of Arianna Niero (Padua, 1992), who creates forms in tune with the natural environment, guided by a systemic vision and ecocentric values. The name recalls Thoreau’s “saunterer” and “the art of saunter”: the art of walking a land that knows no borders, a gentle threshold that welcomes people and places.

Alqa

In Andean culture the Quechua word “alqa” describes a place of transformation, rupture and union. The work consists of five fragments, five being the number of water: sculptures that flow like water and wind, offering no resistance and embracing change.
Anthologia – Colligite fragmenta

From the Greek for “gathering of flowers”. The artist collects signs, imprints, words and hopes left as traces in concave circular forms, to “hold together” the fragments so that nothing is lost: an ode to collective memory and to care.

Sustainability and nature

Fish from the lake, game from Monte Baldo, aromatic herbs and vegetables from our greenhouses: we work with what the land gives us, following the seasons.

The same care guides our choice of materials, of spaces and of the works that live in them.
