The cocktail/wine/beer menu was extensive and the drinks were excellent. The dinner menu was limited to some items for sharing and sandwiches. We shared the prosciutto e melon, which was excellent, and the portion was very generous for two people. The special for the evening, a homemade gnocchi pasta with tomato, zucchini (vegetables grown in the waitress' garden), and a light sauce was excellent. The apple cake with homemade vanilla gelato is their signature desert and is simply wonderful. The service was friendly and helpful. I would recommend La Vecchina for dinner or pre/post dinner drinks.

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.

So this ended up being our favorite restaurant in Carate Urio!…read more So, after a long week in Lake Como, on one of our last nights in the country, we attended the wedding of our dear friends. They were married on a boat, in the middle of the lake... MAGICAL! INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, we happened to be staying a 5-minute walk from this restaurant but had not tried it, up to that point. As the boat docked from the wedding... GUESS WHERE WE WERE EATING?!?!? HEAVEN! Folks, this place was chosen for a wedding reception... AND THE CHOICE WAS CORRECT! My gosh, we were treated like KINGS. Multiple staff members, all night long. Your wine glass never thought about being 1/2 empty. Wine flowed, waiters quietly danced behind you making every moment special and magical. The food... the food... Y'ALL - THE FOOD! WOW! We had a 5-course meal. Fresh, delightful, admittedly most of it I had no clue exactly what it was (blame the wine) but it isn't often I clean my plate for all 5-courses... that night I did. Getting married in / on Como? Anniversary? DO YOU WANT A MAGICAL PLACE TO PROPOSE MARRIAGE? Here. Stop shopping, stop searching, stop looking around... book a lovely table-for-two on the stone patio, just inches from the water. Make a memory. I swear on my love for sushi, you will not be disappointed!
