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.

We all settled on our first and second course and our server was promptly at the table to take our order. Mr. Bee ordered the Meat Ravioli in a cream sauce to start and it was excellent. The ravioli were perfectly cooked, and the filling was tender, and flavorful. I started with Paccheri, a wide pasta noodle like a rigatoni, but smooth and larger. The sauce was a roasted cherry tomato sauce with a basil olive oil drizzle. It was incredible. Italians certainly know how to make and cook pasta to perfection. For our second course, Mr. Bee had Veal Cheeks over Polenta. He loved every bite. I ordered a Filet of Beef and on the side was Polenta, and grilled baby artichokes. Both were delicious. The filet could have been a bit more tender, but it had a rich beefy flavor. It was the perfect end to an amazing trip.
