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 staff seemed a little bit cold towards me since I'm an American tourist, but I attempted a little bit of Italian and they warmed up real quick. There's a ton of choices on what to get on your pizza. The kitchen happened to be closed at the time I came in, but pizza could still be ordered. The house wine is pretty good as well. Easy walk from the Four Points hotel. I would have gone back if I had more time.

The most artistic and beautifully plated and flavored dishes offered a full sensory experience. We discovered at the end of our meal the chef Mirko Gatti trained at Noma in Denmark though we already knew experiencing this restaurant was a meal we will probably never again be able to afford once the chef is truly discovered, yet he was so kind to come and speak with us and offered us an even more epic end to our meal with fascinating desserts of chocolate lollipops in pine and beetroot, and dishes of beautifully mixed flavors including basil, woodruff, fruit, ricotta, hazelnut, etc. We celebrated our 25th anniversary here on a whim with our children and while none of us would ever have intentionally ordered meals with the descriptions provided, we all eagerly enjoyed the most amazing and one-of-a-kind dishes using ingredients including unique herbs and flowers in a natural and beautiful presentation. This will be an experience of a lifetime with the most elegant meal in a casual and friendly space.
