Io e la mia ragazza siamo venuti in un viaggio di 10 giorni e abbiamo soggiornato i nostri ultimi 3 giorni sul Lago di Como, abbiamo fatto una prenotazione dell'ultimo minuto e abbiamo preso un treno e siamo rimasti stupiti dall'esperienza e dal cibo. Il miglior pasto che abbiamo fatto durante il nostro viaggio di gran lunga. Prova i loro vini, i dolci sono fantastici. Amico, torneremo di nuovo il prossimo viaggio in Italia, potremmo dover venire in Italia solo per provare il Ristorante il Crotto.
