It sounds melodramatic, but the best nights my wife and I had in Italy was at Regina 131. The…read moreatmosphere is very warm and the menu had plenty of fresh dishes. 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.

Almost hidden in the hillside neighborhood of Moltrasio, this spontaneous find was a lucky lunch!…read more Outside patio adorned quaintly with flower boxes and greenery. We dined inside ~ a touch of rustic old country; beautiful. The server saw that we were obviously tourists and struggled with the menu. She took the initiative and confidently proclaimed, "I pick, you eat!" with an Italian finger kiss! Our group roared together yes! Simply said ~ everything homemade, everything delicious, everyone eating to gluttony.

Fantastic food, we had the oso buco with polenta, salami fresh, tagliatelle with boar, cannoli, and lasagne. All were excellent. Well seasoned, good portion size and hot and fresh. The lasagna was great, wonderful bechamela sauce. Canoloni with red sauce and cheese was baked to perfection and clearly hand-made. The service was very nice and helpful. Our broken Italian and her English was just fine. Toward the end of the meal, what I believe was the mother came out and asked how everything was. Tuto bene? (Is everything good?) She asked, we replied tuto molto, molto bene (everything was very, very good!) . She smiled and patted us on the shoulders as a thank you. We plan to return before leaving this area.

We (my usual dining companion and I) have eaten here twice in the last week and have not been…read moredisappointed yet. Note that dining on the Bellagio side of Lake Como can be a challenging affair, between the limited hours they are open, the narrow, mostly unlighted roads and the scarcity of parking. One finds restaurants based a primo on proximity, e secundi on availability of parking. After that, with your 100 words of Italian and the server's 100 words of English you attempt to order something pleasing. We had pizza twice here. Very good pizza too, but someone should explain to Italians that if you offer bacon on a pizza it should not look like thin sliced ham. Still, great pizza. We had pasta dishes both times as well, and thatvwas tasty too. The servers were kind to us Americans, no worries. We were well served. I've been a few places around Lake Como this week and the servers ranged from friendly to surly, so this place was a treat, especially Joseph.

I had the mushroom and sausage pasta which was delicious. So glad we got the pistachio dessert. Absolutely decadent. Had the best time and met two other couples and closed the place down. All in all a delightful evening!

Since the food was good, I have to give a 4 star to be fair to the chef. It was a small nice restaurant and a place for a romantic dinner. Their appetizers were creative and well-seasoned. Also if you are a fan of Foie Gras, you are in for a treat. It was rich and buttery with a silky texture that just melted in your mouth. Their vegetable Soufflé was interesting in a good way. One of the appetizers came with a variety of fish and it was delicious and eye pleasing. The pasta was cooked al dente and slightly chewy. Overall they really delivered great food. Of course, it could be a perfect dinner if our mood wasn't tempered by the attitude of the waiter. The price was reasonable. Just make sure to reconfirm what you ordered to prevent any confusion. Our waiter's confrontational approach and unwillingness to accept responsibility really turned a beautiful dinner experience to a great disappointment.
