Visited Tigli in Theoria in May & really enjoyed our experience. We opted for the surprise tasting menu - the food, service, and ambiance were great. We dined in shortly after they opened for the day, so the restaurant was not too busy yet and the staff was very attentive. I'll definitely go back next time I visit Como. read more

I chose this venue after reading reviews and studying their menu online. Saying I was not disappointed is an understatement. We had four in our group celebrating my wife's 70th birthday and we all chose the Three Course Chef's Selection accompanied by a wine pairing. Simply put, all was superb. The food, the wine, the service, the ambiance.... all were magnificent and exemplified why this is a well deserved Michigan Star rated establishment. Highly, highly recommend!! read more

All I can is Wow!!! Very pleasant dining experience with beautiful restaurant setting, excellent service, wine choices, and most important the delicious food! The ravioli with stuff Pheasant thigh along with the veal "alla Milanese" took that dish to a whole new level! Highly recommend making a visit here while in Como! read more

Beautiful space with great food. We were fortunate to sit at the chef's table. We were offered a choice of a seafood tasting dinner or one consisting of meats. Both consisted of eight courses, three of which were dessert. On some dishes, the components seemed odd at first, but upon tasting them, they were great. The staff were very good about explaining each dish for us in English as they served them. read more

Avoid the pretentious host who lies and treats you with disrespect Made reservation one month ahead still was seated on the second floor detention room. The lying host told me and my daughter all the main room tables were booked After dinner walking through half empty main room I expressed my dissatisfaction in no uncertain terms. It is shameful they lie and treat guests who are not local with disdain. Food was mediocre not worthy of Michelin star. Not worth the humiliation! read more

We went there for Sunday lunch near the end of our 12 day Como stay. Wish we had discovered it earlier because it's the best restaurant we went to. Gorgeous setting, perfect lighting, lovely soft background music, impeccable service, and then.... there's the food. Artfully presented and delicious! We started with the pasta with clams and the fois gras. Then the roast pork and veal ravioli. All excellent. A shoutout to our waiter Antonio who was the best. Yes, it's pricey but it delivered on all levels. read more

A very disappointing experience. The ambience was stunning but Service for a Michelin star restaurant was spotty. We ordered the tasting menu with a wine paring but were asked three times about our wine selection. Had to ask multiple times to have our water glasses filled. Staff was cold, aloof, and out of sync. Food was mediocre at best. The amuse busch and chef's appetizers were creative and tasty but the main entrees were disappointing. The first course of raw prawns were tasteless. The others courses were just ok. The dessert of a reconstructed apricot was fabulous but the coffee and tea service was horrible. We have eaten at many excellent restaurants around the world both with and without Michelin stars: Piazza Duomo, del Posto, Nobu, Per Se, French Laundry, Cafe Du Midi and Mistral, Dom, the Verandah at Villa d'Este. All were had far better service and food. If you are looking for a great meal on Lake Como, suggest you pass on Theoria and consider staying at Villa D'Este or Alle Darsene di Loppia in Bellagio read more

Upon walking up to the restaurant from the taxi, you see a very adorable courtyard with lights. It's a romantic setting and mixed in with the magic that is Lake Como, you instantly feel like you've walked into a romantic Cary Grant film. We were greeted warmly and seated inside. Instantly I was annoyed by the table of Americans behind us, but that's a whole different issue that is no fault of the restaurant. The servers tried their best with the service. We had a hard time listening to their presentations because the table behind us was loud. Rather than anticipating that we would not be able to hear he rest of the courses, the servers continued to present from the end of the table, instead of coming between us like we previously asked to present where we could hear. The food was amazing with every course and artistic in its presentation. The sommelier was on par with the courses in regards to the pairing, however, there was a time when the next course came and we didn't have our wine. I felt for a 1 Michelin Star restaurant, the service could be more in sync, the anticipation to the guests' needs should be there, and the servers need to be trained better. For instance, when setting the plates or silverware for the next course, the wares were set incorrectly. Also, my fiancé got a little of sauce on his shirt cuff (food was that delicious, lol) and instead of bringing soda water as requested, we were brought sparkling water and a dirty napkin. While he was wiping, they set his knife for the next course on the other side of the bottle, rather than directly next to the plate. The food is genuinely enjoyable and Michelin quality. I hope for my next visit that the service will be as well. read more

Very enjoyable experience with the ambience and the staff. The prices are over the top expensive and the requirement that everyone have 2 courses isn't necessary. In my opinion the chef is off the rails and not serving food that is enjoyed by main stream customers. We were served an entre of snapper that was so undercooke , it was inedible. I suggest getting the menu back to mainstream, or you won't be around a year from now.....the tables were less than half full.....very telling! read more

We came here after glimpsing this charming place in passing on the way to our hotel, at which point we peeked in to make a reservation for two days later. That night after we called various Michelin star restaurants in the area to make reservations for a few nights during the week of our stay we realized that the charming little restaurant that we had chanced by was one of the restaurants we had also called to make a reservation for. We ended up with two reservations for consecutive nights. They have a couple set courses and we decided to do one tonight and the other tomorrow night. Our review: wow! Every course was a sumptuous work of art. Their meticulous attention to detail pervades everything from the food itself to every action carried out by the waiters. You have to see it to appreciate it. Of course we'll be back (not counting tomorrow night). read more
