He and his sous chefs Jacob and Michael are true professionals. Lucca was able to adapt to our kitchen without missing a beat. For the cooking class, he taught us how to prepare: fresh pesto, handmade pasta (tagliatelle), branzzino, calamari, bruschetta, mussels and clams, and a beautiful chocolate cake. For the private dinner, he prepared: smoked tuna, octopus salad, seared fish and tiramisu. We also ate at their restaurant which was homely and very local. The menu is not in English, a good sign! Highly recommend eating at their restaurant at the very least!

We found this gem on our drive along the shore of Lake Como on the way to Bellagio. It was actually…read moremy favorite meal of the entire trip to Como! It's definitely a local spot. It wasn't very busy and everyone there was Italian. The waitress didn't speak English and there was no English menu. Our meal was delightful. My husband and I each had a pasta dish. Both were delicious, simple, homestyle italian cooking with very fresh ingredients. It was the perfect first lunch on our vacation. The atmosphere is so relaxing. There is an outdoor terrace with a partial view on the lake and no one else is around because it is not located in a touristy area. Prices were excellent. I wish we could have eaten there again before we left. I definitely recommend it for those who are looking for great authentic casual Italian food. Yum!!

Best to make a reservation hours or 1 day in advance to get the better table in the back room surrounded by wine racks.

We ended up purchasing many bottles of wine (that we had tasted through their numerous wine tasting menu) and had them shipped back to the States right on site. If you like wine paired with amazing meats and cheeses, this is undoubtedly the place to go. Also recommended by all the locals we interacted with. Enjoy!!

We had a fantastic time at Salice Blu! We paid for a transfer from our hotel and were picked up at…read moreour hotel by Chef Luigi. We started with a private wine tasting with small bites in the restaurant's wine cellar. It turns out that Luigi is not only a chef and a driver, but also a wine sommelier. He was fun and outgoing as he taught us a lot about area wines. He taught my husband how to properly open a bottle and serve it. Little did we know that was going to come in handy a little later in the evening... After our tasting, we went upstairs and were seated in one of their dining rooms with a view of the kitchen. Another table ordered a bottle of wine, so Luigi had my husband come up and open and serve the wine to show what he had learned. At the time, there were only two other couples in the dining room and this got us all chatting and friendly as they rooted my husband on. Dinner was delicious and plated beautifully. During the evening, Luigi would pop in and out of the dining room and kitchen in between holding other tastings in the cellar and transferring people to and from their hotel. Because he is a jack of all trades, it did take a while after we were done with our meal to get a ride back to our hotel.

We came in at 2pm and they quickly seated us. We ordered a mushroom pizza and a prosciutto pizza. I was imagining these to be small so I also got a spaghetti with clams. Service was speedy and the food arrived as soon as we had ordered. All three items were okay. I was expecting to be wowed and didn't get that. It felt a bit better than frozen pizza and the spaghetti tasted very ordinary. We were a bit let down from the reviews. The food sufficed; not sure we would come back.
