    Fresco is the kind of place that makes you double-check you're still in Como and not suddenly in…read moreNYC, LA, or a Michelin restaurant bar. 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.

    This bar literally needs a 6/5. I haven't had such an intimate and enjoyable experience at a…read morecocktail bar since ~2010. The ambiance was amazing (low light, jazz music). 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.

    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!

    Horrible service and food. Served us rotten food and didn't not exchange our food. Do not recommend.read more

The rooftop view of the lake at night time was amazing no matter which room we were seated in. The service was fairly average the first night but quite good the second. The kids pastas we ordered were inexpensive but fairly small, my seven year old son predictably ordered twice which was just about the right portion for him. My wife and I ordered the tomahawk steak for two. The temperature and seasoning were actually done fairly well but the steak was a tougher cut than I expected. We opted for pastas the second night and the carbonara ended up being a good choice that I'd recommend. Overall, some hits and misses but the ambiance and view are solid and worth trying this place out.

    Obviously high end and ambience with priceless view renders this bar top tier! Notwithstanding…read morethat, our food was excellent and had excellent texture and temperature! Great chimichurri sauce on polpo and the crocante came with sweet chili dip with a good punch! Hubby's rooftop julep was superb and the minty taste as you bite the chocolate before finishing the drink was special! Gewurtziminer was yummy as the le calderîe sav blanc! Yes, pricey but that's expected for such an amazing view of the lake Service by Lutmillah was professional & friendly!

Not sure if…read morethose alone were worth the money because with the conversion they easily reached $20 USD each. But they were tasty. I'm writing this review to talk about the small plate of treats they offered us while we sat at the bar: * Tomato w/ ricotta cheese: As expected, good quality ricotta. The tomato was nice and light. Overall, what you see is what you taste. * Zucchini w/ dab of tomato sauce on top: Very light and simple. Not much flavor from the sauce but I think the zucchini is meant to lead here. * Shrimp w/ avocado cream: Absolutely my favorite. Soft and sweet! * Bufula mozzarella: PERFECT temperature. Mozzarella shell is not restrictive at all.

Served with a few munchies (no Milanese "aperitivo", you mind: this is a pre or post dinner place, or you can order from the full restaurant menu) and a glass of iced water (not American size and no refill was offered though). The prices are high even for Milan standards but 15 euros for a well crafted cocktail in a stylish location is well spent for me. Small and cozy, gentle music, not crowded. Will be back, oh yeah.
