A bit on the pricey side, but the burgers are very substantial, so worth the money. We got cheeseburgers (which come with fries) as well as extra fries and onion rings. All of it was excellent and service was quick. If you're craving a burger in Como, this is the place. Note - the burgers come medium cooked, so if you're used to well-done burgers, you may want to specify your preference.

The prices are super reasonable, and as an American traveling in Italy, I was looking for a proper breakfast. It only cost (€-€€), my girlfriend only paid 20€ for the first breakfast. The next day we paid 30€, b/c we got half the menu! Everything on the menu is very tasty. It's a funky, cozy coffee house that delivers some delicious food for reasonable prices. Barbara is awesome and the food is solid. Plus, she has a GREAT playlist, jams for days. Also, they do accept credit cards.

For lunch, I had the polenta with braised beef. It was very flavorful. The polenta was more gritty, a good complement to the sauce. My companion got the turkey breast schnitzel.

Bonus, the panoramic viewpoints are within 10 minutes of here!
