We had two dinners there for the four of us and everything was delicious. Don't miss it because someone had a bad experience. This was an amazing experience.

We tried to stand in line for other restaurants since we weren't aware you needed to make reservations. We got tired of researching restaurants and ended up standing in line for this restaurant accidentally without knowing that it's one of the most sought after restaurants in the area. Since we didn't have reservations, we stood in line for about 30 minutes before we were seated outdoors. What a magical evening it was!! We got lamb shank which is some of the best I've ever had in all of my visits to Italy. The meat was falling of the bone tender and the skin was seared a little to enhance flavor. The lamb came on a bed of mashed potatoes which was creamy as well. We also got grilled veggies and beef filet tips which was also tender and juicy. We ended the dinner with tiramisu which was mind blowing and large in portion for two of us to share as well. We highly recommend coming here if your time permits since you will be rating if you don't pay to reserve in advance. Reservations can also only be made in person the day before so factor that into your travel plans. I can only promise that food and the ambience will be amazing if you are able to take the time to come here

Came with a little layered and fried potato. That was also outstanding. Didn't love the onion it came with it was a little undercooked for me. Asparagus appetizer. Small but very tasty. Piped on burata is a great touch with a bit of caviar. 9/10. My SO got the fish and didn't like it as much as I did. They come by and give you little tastes of what's cooking back there. Eel with guacamole was excellent as well as a tiny slice of a little lemon bar during dessert. The tiramisu was so delicious. Marscapone in a hard chocolate shell with warm chocolate and coffee sauce poured over it. Basically licked the bowl clean. Delicious 10/10. My gin and tonic was one of the best I've had and strong 10/10 Service was fantastic, constantly checking in on you which is rarity in Italy. They're so friendly and funny as well. Very friendly towards American tourists as long as you can take a little banter and jokes. Really fun experience. Kinda pricey but you get what you pay for.

Overall good inexpensive lunch place.

But this place lived beyond its expectations. We sat outside in their beautiful courtyard, we didn't order a wine pairing, but the sommelier was there to help some people in my group order glasses to pair with their dishes, and the service was fantastic. They also had some of the best bread that I had throughout our 2 weeks in Italy. We ordered the shrimp risotto, the tagliolini, the pigeon, the lobster, and the peach and berry dessert. The shrimp risotto was absolutely fantastic--this is a MUST order. The tagliolini was great, but the olives they used were quite bitter. Nevertheless, my fiancée loved it. The lobster was the same way--delicious. The pigeon was also lovely--reminded me of duck. The highlight was definitely the dessert though. I don't remember the name, but came with a berry sauce, cardamom ice cream, and a fruit medley. For something so seemingly simple, it was delicious, fresh, and the perfect ending to a meal. Overall, I hope I get to return to Lake Como one day so I can eat here again.

DO NOT COME HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO MEET THE RUDEST MANAGER!…read more The restaurant itself was cute, and our male server was ok.Unfortunately, our experience was overshadowed by what I believe was the manager, who was very unwelcoming and came across as rude and dismissive. Shoes not like children. We were a group of four adults and four children (ages 6-14) on our way to the beach. The kids were hungry, and since this was the closest restaurant, we decided to stop in for a quick bite before swimming, planning to have a larger meal afterward. From the moment we arrived, it felt like she was annoyed that we had children with us (Our children knows how to eat in a restaurant, they come from a family of fine dining chefs (their dad) they do not only eat chicken nuggets and fries) before we sat the waiter said we don't have kids food, or maybe that we weren't going to order a full meal. There was a whole menu but was told there's only a few items available. It even gave the impression that she assumed we couldn't afford the restaurant, which was uncomfortable, especially when she stands there and STARE at your table while you dine. What made the experience worse was watching her check on the other tables with a warm, friendly tone while treating us very differently and cold. The contrast was noticeable and made us feel unwelcome. As for the food, we ordered a bottle of water because we had our own personal water bottles and was told we're not allowed to drink it there, we ordered three buttered pasta dishes for the kids (which were actually the best items we had on the menu, ravioli, which was disappointing, and the salted cod. While I understand it's supposed to be salty, both the cod and the red sauce were overwhelmingly salty to the point that it affected the dish. Sadly, because of the poor hospitality, we would not return. Good service should make every guest feel welcome, regardless of whether they're ordering a light meal or a full dinner. Leaving me to NOT RECOMMEND such a rude place. There's lots of other friendlier restaurants and better food.
