    This is the fanciest restaurant I ate in in Como. I normally stay away from higher end restaurant, however, I was on expenses do treated myself. The quality of food was very good. I got spaghetti with clams to start which was a little on the salty side, I enjoyed it none the less. For the main course I got lamb cutlets which were lovely, really great flavors. Including a glass of wine and an espresso, the meal came to €54 (incl charge for service and water). If this was home in Ireland I would say it's about the right value for money, however, comparing with general value for money in Italy Hosterietta is pricey. The service was excellent, however, the restaurant itself lacked atmosphere. I think perhaps it is a little posh and formal, while everywhere else I ate in Italy was casual and more social.

    Caprese.

    Very good food. Service was a little below average. Outdoor seating was nice. Watchout for the £3.50 per person cover charge.

    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
