Then you come here and taste heaven: little pillow clouds with a rainbow of different sauces. You can get risotto as well which is great but let's be honest you can get great risotto all over, and make it yourself. Feast on the gnocchi and never look back!

Kind of dark and moody...looks legit! This place was crowded when I went and for good reason. The food was amazing. I tried the lobster gnocchi and shrimp and lemon zest risotto both were really great. The service was fantastic and even though they were busy they still found me a seat. I didn't plan on being in Varese but this meal made the trip worth it. Highly recommended.

The tiramisu is the perfect way to end the meal. I usually ask which pastas are hand-made that day. English is limited - this is not a tourist place. This restaurant is quieter in atmosphere than most. Speak quietly if you are American and are used to yelling across the table, as you will ruin it for all other Americans who come after you. If you can speak a bit of Italian and know about regional cuisine differences of Italy, you will love this place.

Let me say it in advance: this review is mainly for tourists.

Ristorante Teatro is the right place if you are looking for an elegant, yet tastefully informal place where to get dinner in the historical downtown of Varese. I visit Italy once a year and each time, if I have a chance, I stop there for dinner with family. My favorite is the spaghetti all'astice, one of the dishes Ristorante Teatro is famous for. Last time I've been there I also enjoyed il polpo (..but I can't recall the name of the recipe it was served with..). Let the owner suggest you about the wine: I had one of the best Cabernet Sauvignon I've ever had a chance to taste in my entire life. Let me say it was served a bit too cold but that didn't affect the experience at all. During the summer the outside patio is the best way to enjoy the location - as far as it's not raining (...as it happened to us..). The quality of food, wine and service are worth every single penny, if not more, you pay for. You won't regret your experience there.

It was late, and we had experienced a few average meals in Como so we decided to stay. We even went all in and ordered both pasta and sushi! I am so glad we did! Both the pasta offering and the sushi were fantastic! We had the udon which was clearly fresh made in house! The sauce was great and so were the fresh noodles! The sushi was also fantastic. We had mostly nigiri style items and 1 set of rolls. I would say my only complaint could be that the seaweed was a bit tough. The fish, the rice, even the service were out of this would. 5/5 all day long!
