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! (Bottle of water also included) End the meal with a dessert of your choice and we were in Heaven! We were also unloosening our trousers...hehe What was the price for this amazing meal for four people??? $78.00!!!!! You can't beat that!!!! Btw, did I mention how friendly the entire family was? They all came out to Wish us a Buena Sera. Come here if you are in the Veranna/Lake Como area.

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.

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!

We opted for the one on the terrace, and our view was INCREDIBLE. one of the best lunch views we had the entire trip. The service was fast and attentive. My husband ordered the duck which was amazing and so flavorful in a yummy sauce, and I ordered the homemade pumpkin ravioli with cheese fondue sauce. MY PASTA WAS INCREDIBLE. Top 3 of my entire trip and I raved about it to the owner. It had pomegranates to top it and something else (I think mushrooms?)-- it was so flavorful and I wanted to savor every single bite. It just wasn't enough. The portions were a little smaller for the pasta, but that is to be expected at most places since it is meant to be a secondary accompaniment to the main meal. I just ordered that for my meal and it was the perfect portion for me since I wasn't starving. Overall, this was a very memorable lunch for us and you can tell the owner cares a lot about this restaurant, its customers, and its cuisine. I highly recommend a visit here!!! And you truly can't beat the view. Wish we could return!

The views were spectacular and the service was exceptional, the food was good just like all other food we had in Lake Como. You are paying for the view and a decent meal to go with it, and that's what the food was: decent with a heavy price tag. 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.
