Great wines, server (Sandu) asked my preferences then delivered and was very knowledgeable!!…read moreWas able to try a few wines not available in the States. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience here, highly recommend. I'm no wine expert, but enjoyed learning and tasting. Wines from Veneto, Umbria, and Sardegna (my favorite). I visited in mid-December Friday night and it got full around 7pm. The server told me that this place is very busy and heavily visited by Americanos, especially in tourist season. Also serve snacks.

The most stunning cafe - your Italy trip is not complete without a visit here…read more The cafe is pretty tucked away from the bustle near the tram station. You have to walk ~15 minutes through a neighborhood and outlook point to get here (very pretty walk through a quiet street with villas that ends in a scenic view of the lake and Como). If you go during an off hour (we went around 4pm), it should be pretty quiet - it does pick up a lot more around meal times. Menu prices are affordable, especially considering the amazing views - just unmatched. The couple that runs the cafe is also super sweet and hardworking. We got a mocktail, gelato, and sorbet, and ended with some lasagna and pasta. I'd recommend the drinks and ice cream. Highly recommend you check this out!

I don't know how this place only has 4 reviews on here. This is by far the best dining experience…read moreI've ever had. This place is quaint, intimate, and has probably the best view of the lake ever. It was so fun taking the Funicular up to the top of the mountain and taking photos and just stopping IN AWE the whole route up there. The owner and his wife are so kind and hospitable. The food was unreal (we had the bruschetta, bolognese, and tiramisu) as was the wine. The music playing helped keep the ambiance romantic while the customer service made the experience unforgettable. My husband and I travelled here on our honeymoon and have said eating here was possibly one of the top 5 moments of our lives. I can't recommend it enough! Thank you Balcone Sul Lago!!!

I rarely write reviews but this was by far the best restaurant we have eaten at in all of Como…read more We are staying at one of the top hotels on the lake and have been to 3 other fine restaurants and they don't hold a candle to this one. The food was fresh and light and the prices extremely fair. The staff was attentive and they gave us a tasing menu as we wanted to share everything. The eggplant appetizer melts in your mouth, the gnocchi was so smooth and the pork was excellent. I don't take pictures of food but I wish I did. Don't miss this place!!

This restaurant was recommended by the concierge at Villa d'Este. So glad we made a reservation…read morehere. We ate outside on the terrace which is covered by a roof of vines. Great ambiance and a perfect spot to enjoy a romantic evening meal. Food was amazing and will definitely be coming back.

Really bad service.

And: don't dare to complain about a corked bottle. This was a very bad experience and - worst thing: every single bottle we open remembers me again and again and again :-(
