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.

My fiancee and I were spending our last night in Moltrasio when we noticed that a yellow 'Aperto'…read moresign the size of a shoe box lid had been put out on the railing down to the lido. We descended the stairs to find an attractive little pizza/gelato/bar joint. The barman told us that pizza was finished. My fiancees pouting, combined with other customers arriving, convinced him otherwise and he conceded to our wishes. Huzzah to the barman! The menu had a large variety of pizzas available, priced at between 6€ and 12€. Pricey compared to the 2-for-1 American dreck we are used to, but I don't see Papa Johns offering up speck, wild mushrooms, or buffalo mozzarella. We each ordered a different style and they were both very good, with thin crusts and just the right amount of toppings fired in a brick oven. Four pizzas for us and the other couple took maybe 15 minutes, which is great considering he built the pizzas from the dough up. We finished our meal with combo platters of cacao and nocciola gelato, a combination that tasted like Nutella. My guess is that they're only open weekends during the slow season. That is a shame, since they would have been mobbed during the week my convention was held in the Grand Hotel Imperiale right across the street.

So this ended up being our favorite restaurant in Carate Urio!…read more So, after a long week in Lake Como, on one of our last nights in the country, we attended the wedding of our dear friends. They were married on a boat, in the middle of the lake... MAGICAL! INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, we happened to be staying a 5-minute walk from this restaurant but had not tried it, up to that point. As the boat docked from the wedding... GUESS WHERE WE WERE EATING?!?!? HEAVEN! Folks, this place was chosen for a wedding reception... AND THE CHOICE WAS CORRECT! My gosh, we were treated like KINGS. Multiple staff members, all night long. Your wine glass never thought about being 1/2 empty. Wine flowed, waiters quietly danced behind you making every moment special and magical. The food... the food... Y'ALL - THE FOOD! WOW! We had a 5-course meal. Fresh, delightful, admittedly most of it I had no clue exactly what it was (blame the wine) but it isn't often I clean my plate for all 5-courses... that night I did. Getting married in / on Como? Anniversary? DO YOU WANT A MAGICAL PLACE TO PROPOSE MARRIAGE? Here. Stop shopping, stop searching, stop looking around... book a lovely table-for-two on the stone patio, just inches from the water. Make a memory. I swear on my love for sushi, you will not be disappointed!

Because we are stereotypical tourists, we ordered the Inglese pizza on our first night. The pizza was phenomenal. It was one of the best pizzas I had in Italy. So okay - that's not what made the night great (great food is a great start). The capstone to a great experience is fantastic service. The staff was funny, friendly, and made sure we had a wonderful time. Naturally we made the death-defying trek back to the restaurant the next day and had an even better time. That night we had the Foie Gras, which tasted good (I can't benchmark it against other foie gras - it was the first I had). They paired it with a horseradish-pear chutney and bruschetta (I'm probably not doing it enough justice) and it had a nice subtle taste. We again had pizza because we're unoriginal - this time a Margherita and Salami pizza. These were great, but not as good as the Inglese. The staff remembered us and took care of us the entire night. It was one of the most memorable experiences we had in Italy - we had a wonderful time. If I get enough money to return to Lake Como we'll go back. Until then - I hope others see the 5 stars have just as great of an experience.

Thin crust pizza that's so good you'll want to eat all your crust. But really. It's manages to be…read moresoft and pillowy and crunchy at the same time. With just the right amount of saltiness and semolina and air bubbles. But I've zoomed in on the crust too enthusiastically. The menu is extensive, and has any Italian pizza lovers favorite combination (all languages available--at least English, French, German, Italian). The ingredients were perfectly farm-fresh. The cherry tomatoes on my buffalina pizza had a sweet sugary flavor profile. And the Buffalo mozzarella was thin skinned with a soft milky interior, just the way it should be. The sauce was simple--fresh tomatoes puréed. And it's like they knew me, because the condiment they brought to thr table was pimento oil, because I love being emotional when I eat. Clearly it worked because I'm in love. The amoré kind of love. FYI There's public parking just beyond the restaurant, so the time between parking and pizza is efficient. And service was very professional and kind.

It was ok but far from 25eu quality for an app. I had a dry, overcooked (read: well done brown), somewhat sour Beef Wellington that deserves 1 star. Wife had the underwhelming eggplant. Service was attentive if a little disorganized. Ordered a barbera rossa from their online list. Was told it wasn't available (why leave it online?) and they suggest another bottle that was far from impresssive. Given the high prices for the quality, limited menu and weak quality, this was a disappointing venture and we'd skip it but the room is very nice and the view sensation. They need to get a new chef, better train the existing and/or improve the menu.

You might assume it's just because it's in Lake Como, Italy with beautiful views. False! That's just extra. The restaurant stands alone. Whether during the day or at night, the ambiance is very beautiful and serene. The service is very friendly and goes above and beyond to ensure you're having a good experience. The food is definitely delicious regardless of what you get. 10/10 recommend.
