Connected to a lovely hotel, it has a captive audience for hotel guests because there just isn't much else. However, it's a lot more than this. Locals and businessmen come here...because it is really good. AMBIANCE/ENERGY/VIBE: it has it in abundance. Goodness all around. SERVICE: super friendly, super nice. Everyone at least attempts to speak various degrees of English, and is a willing participant. Staffed appropriately, there was always someone in the near distance to flag down. Did I say very nice? They are. Shout our to Fabio, who was super sweet, extremely likeable, talkative, and very helpful. FOOD: I tried a number of things, coming here both nights I stayed at the Hotel. The menu has 55 types of pizza (which is cray cray, and the website says over 100 types), salads, entrees such as various seafood & a couple of steaks, veal Milanese, pastas, and desserts. They have a full bar, wine, and beer. Lots of good things to try and choose from. 1. Mixed Salad [5 E, 5.0 stars] -- super fresh, totally delish. 2. Mixed Vegetables [5 E, 4.5 stars] -- a small plate of grilled vegetables, eggplant, zucchini, yellow & red peppers, and endive. 3. Tagliatelle Black Truffle [15 E, 4.5 stars] -- the gf and I split the dish, and they were nice enough to divide it into two in the kitchen...perfectly enough and good overall portion. Truffle pieces were a little tough, but wonderful overall. 4. Ricottina Pizza [10 E, 4.5 stars] -- Tomato, Mozzarella cheese, Fresh Ricotta, Sausage, dried tomatoes and rocket salad. Amazing crust, loved the toppings. 5. La Milanese [20 E, 4.0 stars] -- large piece with bone-in, perfectly fried served with freshly fried potatoes. 6. Mixed Gelato [5 E, 5.0 stars] -- chocolate, crema, lemon -- all amazing and housemade, but the lemon was best, tasted like lemon crème. 7. Panne Cotta with Berries [5 E, 4.5 stars] -- if you like this normally, it's quite wonderful. Totally worthy. OVERALL: I'll miss it. Very worthy and memorable, mostly the people. For this area, it's a 5.0 star experience.

I've been coming to this hotel and restaurant for several years, and the service and food have…read morealways been wonderful. The staff is especially friendly and helpful, and the food has always been exceptional! In the past, the meal started with a nice variety of breads and chips at the table, so I was a little disappointed to see that replaced with a small bag of bread pieces. For my starter, I ordered the mixed fried fish. It was excellent--fresh, crispy, and delicious. My only disappointment was the lack of a good dipping sauce. Something like marinara, aioli, or another house-made sauce would have been perfect. The only options available were ketchup and mayonnaise, which seemed a little underwhelming for such a wonderful dish. For my entrée, I ordered the spaghetti with anchovies. Unfortunately, this course was a big disappointment. It looked wonderful when it arrived, but it just didn't live up to the expectations set by the many excellent meals I've had here over the years. The pasta was a bit too al dente for my taste, and overall, the dish simply didn't deliver the flavor or enjoyment I was expecting. I still have very fond feelings about this restaurant and hope tonight was simply an off night. Unfortunately, I didn't get a photo of the entree, but it was beautiful!

We didn't want to have the kitchen open back up for us if they were already wrapping up. They assured us the kitchen wouldn't be closed for another 15 minutes so to come on in. We ordered the pizza, and the pizza guy had a meltdown. Apparently he had already started cleaning up for the night. We felt bad but also a little off putting that he would make such a scene in front of all the guests. Other than that we had a wonderful meal.

Food: 5 Value: 5 (arguably a 6/5)…read moreService: 5 Ambiance: 3.5 The single greatest Italian cuisine meal I've eaten to date. We found this restaurant through Google Reviews and generally had high hopes, but were blown away by the experience. We ordered salads to share, drinks, and pasta before a tiramisu - I went for a seafood pasta (see pictures) and negroni. We definitely could have avoided getting the two salads; portions were massive and we ended up not finishing either salad. My main course was delicious. The pasta had a zesty, fresh flavor between the lemon, olive oil, parsley and tomato, but the welcome surprise was seeing mounds of mussels, clams and shrimp inside the dish (I'm from New York and expected maybe 10 total) that took me almost 5 minutes to deshell before I went to town on it. Cocktails were excellent - hard to see from the photos but huge and delicious. Resulted in a great midday buzz. Limoncello spritz was also good but perhaps too strong for a lunchtime drink. Other courses ordered: - Lamb ravioli - Had 1-2 bites and tasted good, but probably a 3.5-4. Not really up to my palate and compared to my own entree, hard to beat :) - Carbonara - Solid. Incredibly rich and this was an entree where the large portions actually hurt more than helped - Salads - Hard to tell bc I was full of pasta Minor ding if anything is the ambiance. It's a block or so away from the crazy shore of Como but still was getting a bit loud by the time we left. Not a real complaint and didn't affect our experience, but if you're looking for a more quiet and relaxed experience you might want to go to a less touristy area. Thank you for a lovely meal!

It was very quiet for lunch... guessing ppl come for dinner. But their AM service for takeaway is very popular. It reminds me of those deli that had pre-made specials. Cozy space, a few tables... surrounded by bottles and bottles of wine. They don't open until 12:30 for lunch... The Fork gave us a 12pm seating... so we just hung out at the Mercado next door and then chilled outside. We ordered the highly recommended "red shrimp", this is nasty... I don't like the consistency at all... it doesn't taste fresh... it's mushy.. and it almost didn't make it into my belly... (gag..); we got the Irish oysters... it says "sweet"... if by sweet means loaded with sea water then ok. Salty AF. I enjoyed the anchovies over butter toasts.. that was delicious. We split a pasta with red shrimp (ordered it bc my friends wanted to try), I wanted the lobster. I didn't enjoy this pasta at all. We split the amberjack... which was oven baked with very heavy wine sauce... and mushy mushrooms and potatoes. I liked the fish... it was nice, flakey and flavorful. So, the only reason why this is not a 2 stars experience is bc of the anchovies toasts and the fish. For a €160... we deserved better food. I wouldn't go out of my way for this spot. Ciao!
