It was a quiet night with plenty of lakeside tables for walk-in diners like us (which makes me wonder about the other places--were they filled to capacity? I doubt it--but their loss was our gain). We were greeted by a genial gentleman (Giuseppe) who invited us to select any table. It turns out he was the waiter, the entertainment, and the proprietor. We dithered a bit about what and how much wine to order. Giuseppe insisted we needed at least a half liter carafe--and of course he was right. After looking through the menu knew we were going to order fish dishes so we opted for the house white -- an unspectacular but serviceable Pinot Grigio style table wine. For our antipasto we selected a green salad with marinated small fish (Possibly large anchovies? They reminded me of smelt--a small freshwater fish common where we live in northern Wisconsin.) Not everyone will like a dish like this, but as adventurous eaters we enjoy sampling something unique to the culture and cuisine of the places we visit. (In the background -- some jazzy piano by Giuseppe.) Next up was the pasta course. I went with penne and bolognese while my wife chose spaghetti with tomato sauce. Penne has never been my favorite pasta but I'll be using it more frequently in the future. The sauce was basic but authentic. (In the background -- some jazzy piano by Giuseppe.) For my secundi I ordered broiled trout. It was served with haricot verts and oven roasted potatoes. The fish was a tad overcooked and dry but otherwise well seasoned. The sides were decent. (In the background -- some more jazzy piano by Giuseppe.) We had to finish with a "dolce" course so I went with tiramisu while my wife went lighter with a scoop of gelato. I've had lots of tiramisu over the years and this was as good as any I've had -- a good balance of mascarpone, espresso, cocoa, ladyfingers and creaminess. The kiwi garnish seemed odd but worked well (and I'll probably use kiwi the next time I make tiramisu). When we finished up we sauntered over to the lounge where Giuseppe was playing the piano. We admired photos of him with various dignitaries including one of our favorite artists -- Quincy Jones. After a few more tunes we had a photo op with Giuseppe, we paid our bill, and slowly climbed up the walkway to our holiday house. Was it the best meal we ever had while traveling? No. Was it one of our most memorable experiences while traveling? Unequivocally, "Yes!"

We loved this ristorante and hotel so much (back in 2011) that we are coming back next month. I…read moreloved Giuseppe, the owner. He referred me to as "Senora California". He is so friendly and makes sure your stay is enjoyable and that the food he serves at his restaurant is the best home cooked Italian ever. He will also walk around and play his accordion. We found this place by accident and we even met a man there who had his daughters with him. He told us that he also found it by accident and has been back every year for many years. The restaurant overlooks the lake and so does some of the rooms. We were fortunate enough to get one of them with a balcony right over the water and feed the ducks! We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay and spending an entire day driving around this beautiful lake, having a picnic and visiting gardens and museums. I believe this is one of the most gorgeous places on earth.

I was promised an amazing view of Lake Como and amazing Italian food. I was not disappointed by that promise. We went out onto the terrace and enjoyed Prosecco with Prosciutto wrapped breadsticks while taking in the magnificent vista. Mountains, lake, boats...just beautiful. We took it all in. Oh, yes, all of it, before heading indoors for dinner due to the impending rain. Many companies take guests to dine here, so the restaurant offers menus in both Italian and in English. The employees speak good English, as well. We started dinner with a nice chilled white wine. I don't remember what it was, but it was magnificent! Dinner for me consisted of risotto with martini, tuna, and arugala. It was the best risotto I've ever had, hands down! My friend had the gnocchi with ham and quite enjoyed it. We did not order another main dish after this, because what we had was very filling. Instead, we went straight for dessert accompanied by a flute of dessert wine! Don't mind us! We all chose different desserts. I had the warm pear tarte and highly recommend it. Others ordered the chocolate, sorbet, creme brulee, and yogurt parfait. No complaints from anyone! Everything was absolutely delicious! To our surprise, this was followed up by creme and berry shooters and an assortment of mini cookies. Come here and have your own amazing experience. You won't regret it!
