The staff seemed a little bit cold towards me since I'm an American tourist, but I attempted a little bit of Italian and they warmed up real quick. There's a ton of choices on what to get on your pizza. The kitchen happened to be closed at the time I came in, but pizza could still be ordered. The house wine is pretty good as well. Easy walk from the Four Points hotel. I would have gone back if I had more time.

From waiting almost 15 minutes to get a menu after being seated to the flavorless food (we ordered one risotto dish, which was what they're known for, and one other pasta dish), the evening was sub par.

We were lucky to be seated outside after about a 10 minute wait on a busy Friday evening. Our server Lucco was very sweet and though very busy did his best to be attentive. We started with sparkling water, proseccos, margherita pizza and a salad. Those were delivered promptly. Next I ordered the linguine frutti di mare which was sooo delicious and the seafood was so fresh (prawns, mussels, scallops). However, there was an unsavory taste left in our mouths after my friend's food had hair in it and she asked to return it to the kitchen. A lady server came over and aggressively insisted that the hair belonged to my friend because it had to be "extensions". This was an unpleasant experience to say the least My friend declined another dish from the kitchen and we shared my pasta which we both enjoyed but I'm sad she wasn't able to enjoy her meal. Overall, we still really enjoyed the food we did try.

We were a party of four and everyone really enjoyed their meal. My Tagliatelle pasta with Porcini mushrooms was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. I ate every bite. It paired well with the grilled veg plate that included zucchini, aubergine (eggplant), potato and radicchio. And what's Italy without a decadent but simple dessert? I had the tiramisu. It was very light, not too sweet and moist. I could have eaten 2! It was that good. My fiends had to be Pistachio Panna Cotta and they raved about it too. I loved the casual vibe and outdoor dining feel. The food was prepared well and very high quality. You can tell they take pride in their food and every bite told me why. Prices were very reasonable and a short walk from our hotel along the shore of the lake. I love this great little find. Delicious food, friendly staff and very good service.

We descended the stairs to find an attractive little pizza/gelato/bar joint. The barman told us that pizza was finished. My fiancees pouting, combined with other customers arriving, convinced him otherwise and he conceded to our wishes. Huzzah to the barman! The menu had a large variety of pizzas available, priced at between 6€ and 12€. Pricey compared to the 2-for-1 American dreck we are used to, but I don't see Papa Johns offering up speck, wild mushrooms, or buffalo mozzarella. We each ordered a different style and they were both very good, with thin crusts and just the right amount of toppings fired in a brick oven. Four pizzas for us and the other couple took maybe 15 minutes, which is great considering he built the pizzas from the dough up. We finished our meal with combo platters of cacao and nocciola gelato, a combination that tasted like Nutella. My guess is that they're only open weekends during the slow season. That is a shame, since they would have been mobbed during the week my convention was held in the Grand Hotel Imperiale right across the street.

The most stunning cafe - your Italy trip is not complete without a visit here…read more The cafe is pretty tucked away from the bustle near the tram station. You have to walk ~15 minutes through a neighborhood and outlook point to get here (very pretty walk through a quiet street with villas that ends in a scenic view of the lake and Como). If you go during an off hour (we went around 4pm), it should be pretty quiet - it does pick up a lot more around meal times. Menu prices are affordable, especially considering the amazing views - just unmatched. The couple that runs the cafe is also super sweet and hardworking. We got a mocktail, gelato, and sorbet, and ended with some lasagna and pasta. I'd recommend the drinks and ice cream. Highly recommend you check this out!

This place is quaint, intimate, and has probably the best view of the lake ever. It was so fun taking the Funicular up to the top of the mountain and taking photos and just stopping IN AWE the whole route up there. The owner and his wife are so kind and hospitable. The food was unreal (we had the bruschetta, bolognese, and tiramisu) as was the wine. The music playing helped keep the ambiance romantic while the customer service made the experience unforgettable. My husband and I travelled here on our honeymoon and have said eating here was possibly one of the top 5 moments of our lives. I can't recommend it enough! Thank you Balcone Sul Lago!!!

There were tables with the lake view always available every time we stopped by during our two-night stay in Brunate. Pizza was cheap, they were all under 10 euro and I believe the margherita we ordered was 6 euro. We also got the assorted bruschetta for 5 euro which was delicious - I love how they serve bruschetta in Lake Como.The smoothies there were good, a bit watery but the flavor was great, but over-priced at 7 euro each. The beer my boyfriend got was also pricey around 8 euro for a bottle I believe. I had the tiramisu after our meal which was served in a cute, little jar, and it was honestly amazing. Creamy, smooth, and not too sweet. If you find yourself in Brunate and don't want to eat at one of the fancy, hotel restaurants, definitely grab a bite or drink here at the very least!
