The appetizers buffet were free during happy hour time and included antipasto, cheese plates, fresh vegetables and even hot dish. The owner was really nice and welcoming and this is a place I would recommend to anyone coming to lecco looking to relax and be treated well.

Me and my girlfriend had been craving a hamburger but couldn't find a place anywhere around Lake…read moreComo. We went through a few of the towns (Bellagio and Varenna) and couldn't find a burger place. We went out tonight looking for a pizza place and the place we went to had closed the kitchen at 9 and told us there was a pizza place one street away and to go through a small alley. We walked by a sign of a 13 euro burger and decided to give it a try. For 13 euros we got a burger with fries and a beer. We asked the owner if we could exchange the beer for a coke and he did. We also asked for 1/2 a four cheese pizza which was amazing and pretty big for only 3.50 euros and the big one was 7. We ate it before we took a pic it. The burger was delicious!! Best burger I have had in a very long time, so good I decided to write my 2nd review because this place deserves to be known.

The cocktails are inventive, elevated, and layered with thought, yet the atmosphere is relaxed and elevated while also unpretentious. Andrea, the owner, is part mad scientist (he has his chemistry set in the front window) and part storyteller. He crafts flavor profiles with house-made natural extracts that feel both novel and perfectly balanced. We had a blast geeking out with him about spirits while Satish and the rest of the team kept the night lively with warm hospitality and a bit of history woven into every pour. The naturally flavored home made welcome apertif and little bites were a charming touch, but the real highlight was realizing this wasn't just a drink, it was a total experience. Tonight's serendipitous nightcap was magical and we'll be back... again and again.

The owner was truly passionate about his craft. A beautiful desert was offered on the house alongside the first round. Of course, the drinks were incredible. The company too! I walked out the front door in a state of bliss. Oh yeah! I also forgot to mention that they infuse and subsequently diffuse their own alcohols, alongside making a chamomile based bitters with a 150 year-old recipe.

This was not the case here. Not only was the view breath taking but the service was great, the food was even better and the aperol spritz was a delight. they even have pepper oil which is a sight for sore eyes for me as I'm a huge fan of red chili flakes and apparently that's not a thing in Europe.

We picked L'oca Ubriaca over the restaurant opposite and we weren't disappointed! Behind the reasonably small frontage lies a little spot of heaven. I adored the decor; a mixture of exposed brickwork, beautiful (if not a little random) paintings of parrots and then cold industrial ventilation, strip lighting and metalwork. We chose a table upstairs on the balcony and were quickly attended to by the waiter. Unfortunately we don't speak Italian and he didn't speak English so I can't really comment too much on the standard of service but he was friendly about it rather than annoyed. After a quick translation of a menu with a phrase book we plumped for a panini each. I couldn't really decipher the rest of the menu but of the few other customers also eating their dishes looked amazing! The food was prepared at the bar, it arrived quickly and was reasonably delicious. Hard to be blown away by a sandwich but the ingredients were fresh and I was happy. The only gripe would be that the bathroom seemed a little weird. There was a small window at floor level without any glass in. Obviously bit odd that anyone could walk past and catch a glimpse of you at your business, also pretty chilly in mid January. My hope is that it was a result of some renovations. There were also some exposed pipes and dodgy tiling, so hopefully this won't be problem in the future. It was located in a little frosted glass house though so the novelty was enough to gloss over the down bits. This is somewhere I would really like to come back to for an evening. The wine selection looked really good and it seemed like the perfect place for an intimate evening out.
