The starter was a mixed salad from the garden, with a main course of mixed home-cooked stews, veal, beef and hirsch, plus a delicious cheese polenta. The selection of home made desserts was impressive, especially the home made jam. We went with two adults and our two boys (6 and 9), and we were all very impressed. There is no choice of menu, only what is served that day, so it is important to be open to trying various cuisines. The staff were very friendly and put up with our very limited Italian (we managed in English and German). Recommend to call beforehand so they know the time you are arriving.

It is like you are in their home and they are cooking just for you. Simply amazing!!! Bread and pasta to start. Followed by two separate meat dishes with a huge helping of polenta made with formage!!! (Ummmmm, Yes please!!). The best part was that the owner comes back after each serving and gives you more. If the meal wasn't scrumptious enough, we enjoyed a huge cantor filled with their homemade vino! Sooooo smooth!

I originally stopped by Osteria Monti to buy a bottle of wine, but when I saw the menu I decided I needed to come back for dinner. It's a very quaint restaurant, with absolutely fantastic local dishes, and local wines abs grappa. The atmosphere is great, it's not lake front, but the interior is very modern and clean, and the back patio has a great view of the mountains. The service was FANTASTIC! The owner / chef was present when I purchased the bottle of wine, and he couldn't have been more knowledgeable and pleasant. The two girls that served us had great personality and charm. Sometimes a restaurant can have terrible food but great service, and you still walk away happy. This restaurant had the BEST of the both. The food from start to finish was absolutely delicious. Fresh, flavourful and very well presented. A tartare appetizer with a regular salt, smoked salt and spicy salt, along with an avacado mousse, and aged Parmigiano. How can you go wrong from here? I'm not going to describe every item I had because I don't want to ruin restaurant goers from trying something other than what write about. Go here! Try everything! You will not regret it. Buon appetito!

The views were spectacular and the service was exceptional, the food was good just like all other food we had in Lake Como.

I would go back just because I love the hotel so much, but I will not be expecting a culinary masterpiece to die for here.

We weren't impressed with the pastas, and we had ordered a bottle of hard cider that had gone bad. We did however enjoy the peaches and cream dessert.
