My husband who is the biggest steak snob, thinks this is one of the best steaks. Prepared to perfection with every temperature available- the waitress doesn't ask how you would like it prepared, but gives you the steak on a warm plate and there you can select the piece that best suits you. I am a big corn ingredient lover and think the polenta is just divine. It's a must must try ( I wish I can take it home). The ambiance is causal with picturesque views of Lago De Como makes this my top choice of eateries in Como.
Off the beaten path but worth the taxi. If you're staying anywhere near tremezzo or even if you have to travel for it, this place is so worth it. It's a cute little farmhouse set up in the hill/mountains in Tremezzo and then once you get to the patio you see why it's worth it. The views are insane. The staff and owners are charming and want you to have a great experience. They recommended the rabbit, which sounds weird but it was phenomenal. We got the meat skewers as well and anything off their grill was fantastic. The potatoes that come with that and the florentine steak are absolutely melt in your mouth and have a great taste of rosemary. Wine and food are all extremely reasonably priced for the quality and the views. Ended up being about $60 a person with an entree for each, 5 bottles of wine for 7 people, and some starters and deserts. They even let us stay about an hour after they'd closed! Will definitely be back!
An excellent meal in a cozy restaurant with top-notch service. Last night I had the mixed salad which was unfortunately shredded. Next was lake fish in butter with grilled vegetables- the fish was very good and the vegetables very fresh, but could have used a little more seasoning. May main was the rabbit- very good and I'm glad I tried it, but not something I will crave. Desert was an asparagus cheesecake, an interesting take I truly enjoyed. A solid meal with great service in a cozy restaurant.
if in Milan, you must plan to visit the lakes district too. ideally for a few weeks, in one of 16th-19th century Palladian villas that rings the shore of Lago de Como. or at the very least a day trip. it's only 90 minutes by car and by train an hour away. picture forested alps, deep blue harbor, bobbing boats, cypress groves, luxe resorts, cobbled villages. then eat at La Fagurida, a small tratorria in a hamlet lost in the hills above Como. ask for a table under a loggia with an awesome view of the lake and feast on conoglio arrosto (herb-roasted rabbit), polenta uncia (cooked in cheese, butter, garlic, sage), castagnaccio (chestnut cake) and a bottle of Barbera. a humble country meal more memorable than at a spendy tourist restaurant.
Fabulous restaurant high above the lake but walkable (90 flights of stairs equivalent!) from Tremazzo. The owners were very gracious and friendly. Lunch was a lovely homemade antipasto plate of beans, salami, speck, fig, grilled peppers and fish. Main dish of roast rabbit had been mentioned in NYT article about Lake Como from 2006. Best rabbit I've ever had. Dessert was a wonderful tiramisu and espresso. What a gem!

We were staying at the grand hotel tremezzo and wanted to have an authentic Italian dinner and La fagurida didn't disappoint. The outdoor seating overlooked the lake and we were seated in a residential cobblestone alley - which added to the ambience. The staff is very friendly and didn't speak much English. We had caprese, a salad, a fresh pasta with rabbit ragu and this huge t bone steak. Everything was prepared excellently. Highly recommend if you're trying to get a more authentic experience than the big hotels. read more

Wow, the restaurant is amazing, very rustic, exactly what you would expect it to be as it is in the hills overlooking the fabulous lake. We had dinner on the balcony with breathtaking views. The food was delicious, the service excellent and the atmosphere just perfect. Their bruschetta starter probably the best I have ever had in my life. Also ordered the local specialties, like salted lake fish with polenta, heirloom tomatoe caprese. Every dish was just unbelievable mouth watering.. The quality was top notch. Excellent food, excellent people, excellent location. read more

If you find yourself in Tremezzo looking for a "local" place to eat, I highly recommend this restaurant. My wife and I loved this little place so much that we came here twice! It is nestled high up the mountain behind Grand Hotel Tremezzo. It is far enough away to take a car but, if you are brave and in shape, I recommend taking the Mideval Age stairwell shortcut. The staff speaks enough English to get by if you only speak a small amount of Itilian. We enjoyed the butter fish, but the real treat was the rabbit ragu with tagliotelli. Amazing! The house wine was delicious and served by the liter. We are so glad we discovered this this fabulous restaurant. read more
