What a Yelp GEM find especially finding out it was located behind the Palace Hotel, where we were staying. Based on reviews on Yelp, we decided to try the Piazza Roma. It was excellent. Owner, handed us each a glass of champagne while we waited for our outside table. Service was excellent, friendly and attentive. Food amazing. Fried calamari and shrimp, extra yummy. Birra reserve even better. Highly recommended. Outside and inside seating. Owners are very nice. read more

Not only the best restaurant we went to in Como, but one of the best meals we had in our two weeks in Italy. All the food was very high quality. The plating was beautiful. The waiter was terrific. Honestly, beyond terrific. He helped pick the menu, help with wine pairings, and even brought over an appetizer we chose not to order (free) just because he said he wanted us to try it. And to top it off, the cost was very reasonable for that quality of food. A must go place. read more

Piazza Roma is absolutely great. Great food, great service, great personality. Avocado Tartare to start was a masterpiece in plating and tasted just as good. Scialatielli pasta was a perfect dish as well. Ended with a soup dessert. Chamomile Pineapple Soup was not something I had seen on a menu. Had to try it and was not disappointed. Friendly folks and memorable dining. Do not miss this opportunity! read more

Amazing food and service. They even have vegan options which is very helpful while traveling with our vegan son. Would 100% go back.

Ambiance was great. Food was reasonable in flavor and cost. Really, the location and ambiance is what makes it.

The definition of a family owned restaurant. There were between 5-7 items in each section menu, as well as only about 10-12 total tables. The lamb was phenomenal with a thick and flavorful crust. The ham with burrata cheese might have been the best cheese i've ever had. All the pasta was homemade and absolutely delicious as well as the cheese. My family agreed the cheesecake and tiramisu were the best we've ever had. The chocolate covered poached pear was one of the coolest dessert presentations i've seen in a dessert. The service was even better than the food. The waiter was the eldest son of the owner and gave fantastic recommendations. The owner was constantly walking around chatting with the customers. They were so friendly and welcoming. Truly can't be beat if you're in Lake Como! read more

Unbelievable place. Best "overall" restaurant I went to in Italy (if you factor in the non-food aspects like service and ambiance). The food was also amazing of course. I recommend the lamb read more

Stopped in Piazza Roma while in Como to celebrate a special occasion, and we had the BEST experience!! The owner came to chat with us and gave us all the best food and wine recommendations. He truly cares about his customers and their dining experience!! Be sure to save room for tiramisu and cheesecake at the end! read more

Terrible customer service just refused us a table based on the possibility that it may rain in two hours and that he can't take the chance ... Very rude and arrogant read more

We were super excited to try this place considering the outstanding reviews and unfortunately I had a mixed experience. The inside and ambiance is quite eclectic but the service is great and we felt incredibly taken care of our whole meal. I really enjoyed the ham and burrata appetizer as the cheese was incredibly fresh and meat was flavor packed. The table bread could have been better as it was a bit dense and dry so it didn't go as well with our appetizer as I would have hoped. Our main courses were the mezzelune and the tomato/burrata pasta (I forget the name but started with an S). My friend said the tomato/burrata pasta was one of the best pasta dishes he has ever had in his life and in Italy claiming it was incredibly rich and full bodied. On the other hand, I ordered the mezzelune which had sage, butter, and perch and I was a bit skeptical to order it because of the fish (as I am not the biggest fan of fish in my pasta), however our waiter assured me of the lack of fish taste and how memorable the pasta would be. Unfortunately, I found the fish flavor quite strong and felt it lacked cheese so it had more of a dry texture to it. The pasta also felt a bit hard and I wouldn't order it again. Overall, I wouldn't discount Piazza Roma but would just order wisely before picking! read more

Wonderful restaurant. Me and my parents went there yesterday and were extremely impressed. It's a family owned business and it really shows. The owners were so nice and talkative. They gave us free Prosecco, extra pasta servings, free dessert, and a free bottle of wine. It was all amazing. I can't say enough good things about the food or the service at this restaurant. 10/10 recommend. read more

This was our first and only meal while visiting Bellagio. Since we tried to pack as many activities in the day, we arrived right when it opened at noon. We were greeted right away by one of the owners sons. He was very friendly and led us to the best seat in the house. There were quite a few selections on the menu but we decided to go with the octopus and the fish in brown butter and sage. The octopus was great; it was tender and the sear on it was just right. I did not enjoy the fish as much. I anticipated an actual butter and sage sauce but it was kind of dry. It was served with spiralized zucchini that had a bland taste. One of the best things about the restaurant is that it is a family owned restaurant. The eldest brother was the host and server while the youngest one is in the kitchen cooking. The owner (dad) also came out to make sure everything was okay and took some pictures for us. We didn't say long enough for dessert but the short time we were there was enjoyable. read more

Picked this restaurant purely off Yelp. Our best food and experience in our 9 day Italy trip from Rome to Amalfi Coast to Milan to Lake Como and we went to some amazing restaurants. Small, family owned, intimate, truly authentic experience. The owner working the room (answers to Johnnie B Goode) was hilarious. My favorite quote from him when I said it was our wedding anniversary "no honey, no money, no funny". I travel for business and eat at high end restaurants all over the US. This will be the best choice you make in Lake Como, guaranteed. read more

Piazza Roma is a must try when in Como! A lot of people think that just because you visit Italy that all the restaurants you go to are going to be fantastic but that's not the case. After doing a lot of research I stumbled upon Piazza Roma having a lot of raving reviews. My fiancé and I decided to book a reservation for our last night there and it was a fantastic way to end our trip. It's off the beaten path in the quiet and quaint Piazza Roma so immediately we knew it wasn't going to be an average run of the mill tourist trap. We were seated and the ambiance was unreal. It was very romantic and relaxing, just how you'd picture a dimmer in Italy to be. We enjoyed the meal how you are supposed to eat Italian dinners by starting with Antipasti, moving to primi then secondi & then finalizing with dessert. Since it was our last night we decided to splurge on an expensive bottle of Barolo. The owner of this spot was extremely friendly and welcoming wanted to make our night special upgraded are bottle at no extra charge. Like all places, they placed bread in front of us which we enjoyed with some olive oil and balsamic & it was delicious. They were very generous and brought bread with every course. For our Antipasti, we ordered the Crudo di Parma con Burrata di Andria and it was so fresh and high quality. I've been to restaurants where they give subpar quality to tourists so it was greatly appreciated that at Piazza Roma they treated us as one of their own. For our Primi we ordered two pasta dishes: Tagliolini al missoltino del Lario e passata di pomodori and the Scialatielli fatti in casa con pomodorini freschi e stracciatella di bufala. Both were incredible dishes that popped with amazing flavor. For our secondi we decided to split the Pescato del Lario al burro e salvia con julienne di zucchina. This dish was a locally caught Lake Como fish lightly fried with a zucchini julienne. The fish was light, crispy and so fresh...amazing! My fiancé wasn't a fan of zucchini until she tried this. The zucchini was prepared perfectly and was a great accoutrement to the fish. Finally we ended the night with dessert. We were full so we decided to split the Tiramisu Tradizionale & it was a great way to end our meal. We also ordered espresso and the waiter decided to give us Limoncello as well as an after dinner drink. He was a great server...very attentive and personable. He even comped our espressos and of course the limoncello was on the house. This place was fantastic and was the perfect way to end our visit to Como. I recommend coming here if you're in Como. Make sure you make a reservation because they will turn you away if not. They are about quality and not quantity here which I very much appreciated. read more

We have been in Tuscany and here in Como. This restaurant, #1, is family owned, #2, is not touristy and #3 is just excellent food. As I write this the father, and owner, is bringing out several amazing desserts that his fantastic chef son (18 years old) has been preparing for us during our lunch. And his other son, both very handsome guys, has been serving us wine and food. He is so knowledgeable. If you find this place in the next year it will still be undiscovered. After that I guarantee this will be a super well known establishment. And the family is so kind and friendly that YOU will feel like family. read more

This is a lovely, intimate family-run restaurant. Everything about our experience, from the service to the food to the graciousness of the host and his family, could not be topped. I cannot recommend this place more highly. If you are in Como, you should seek a table here. We surely will do so when we come back! read more

Came here on recommendation by our Airbnb host when we asked for local must-have eats ("fish of the lake"). This restaurant is located in a quiet little corner in Como, around the duomo, away from the hustle and bustle of the lake, and is the perfect place to have a romantic or quiet dinner with friends and family. The setting is fine dining style, very classy, and the service you get matches the atmosphere. Our server was so gracious and the service was impeccable. They were so kind to seat us even though we swung by around 2pm when they were about to take a siesta. We ordered only antipasti but the host was still so good to us even though we weren't ordering the world. He gave us bruschetta on the house, and even a dessert gratis, and was very attentive to our needs. He noticed our backpack on the ground, at our feet, and he brought a chair to our table and placed our backpack on it. Food was also timely and utterly delicious. I had the octopus salad and my octopus was grilled perfectly. Everything on the plate tasted fresh and well-seasoned. My partner loved his fish plate, with an assortment of fish from the lake. I would highly recommend this restaurant rather than one along the lake. The food and the service at this place is totally worth the money. read more

Looked up reviews on Piazza Roma and decided to check this place out. We past by several restaurants in the area and thankfully we stayed focused on finding this restaurant. We didn't have a reservation but the owner Johnny graciously welcomed us and made a table available. We ordered the calamari and shrimp which is one of the best I've ever had. We also had a pasta dish with creamed mozzarella which was very delicious. Johnny and his family made our night enjoyable as they were engaging, friendly, and service was delivered with a sense of pride. I highly recommend this fantastic restaurant! read more

Simply outstanding meal. It's obvious from the moment you step in that the owner takes great pride in his restaurant and hospitality. Make a reservation! We tried to go Saturday night but they were full, however the owner actually seemed truly upset he couldn't seat us. As such, I made a reservation over WhatsApp the next morning. We got a response shortly afterward confirming, and I am so glad we did. Immediately upon entering we felt like family, and the food was oh so good. I had the melon gazpacho and my fiancé the burrata with prosciutto. Both were to die for. For main courses we both went with pasta, I had the spaghettoni with a pesto sauce and my fiancé scaliatielli with a tomato sauce. The pasta was perfect and the sauces incredibly flavorful. We split the poached pear for dessert and both left with huge smiles on our faces. After several nights of truly great food in the Lake Como area, this restaurant was truly the star of the show and will absolutely be #1 the next time we come back. Outstanding service, and incredible food that's put Michelin starred restaurants I've eaten at to shame. Make a reservation and do not miss this gem. read more

After 4 days in Como, this was our favorite restaurant by far. The owner took great pride in explaining the menu and making wine suggestions. We started with the carpaccio and burrata, plus an avocado dish. Amazing mix of flavor and texture. First course was a thick spaghetti noodle with cherry tomatoes, mozzarella and basil. All fantastic. No room for coffee or dessert. Small, intimate and perfectly romantic. A must in Como. read more

Got reservations through our hotel for a Sat. night. Loved it but with one caveat. There are two rooms and one has a chandelier so bright you could perform surgery under it. (Owner said Italians like bright light ). We ate in the other room at a back table where the lighting was just right. The grilled octopus starter we shared was delicious. For the main course I had fried shrimp and octopus. It could have used a dipping sauce. My other half had the lamb. Delish! The owner and his son (the chef) could not have been more personable. We would go back. read more

A group of friends (5 in total) toured Italy for 3.5 weeks. We started on the Amalfi Coast traveled to Venice and ended in Como. By far the best meal we have had in 3.5 weeks was at the Piazza Roma in Como. The food was spectacular. Between us we had two different types of gazpacho, lamb and fish dishes plus the home made desserts. After dinner we unanimously agreed this was the best meal we have had on our trip. You cant visit Como without eating at Piazza Roma. It's the best! read more

Wow what an incredible experience. My best meal in the week I have been in Italy. From the service, to the Prosecco on arrival, to the unbelievable dishes - these guys made my last day at Lake Como unforgettable. The octopus was incredible and the pasta was the best I've ever had! I will recommend this to all my friends and come back for sure. Thank you!!! read more

Found this little place on our way to another restaurant recommended by our hotel. They were fully booked so we made a reservation for the following night and the owner offered us prosecco on the house. Next day we came for dinner and it was one of the finest meals I have ever had. The owner was a delight to talk to and was extremely generous. As we were finishing up (and they were closing) he introduced us to the chef, his daughter, and his son who also worked in the kitchen. Such a lovely and talented family. Each dish is a work of art- and delicious. You will not be disappointed. read more

Recently traveled Italy and this was our favorite restaurant. Wonderful family owned and operated. While the food was exquisite, Jonny (the owner), his wife and son made our last meal in Como memorable. Reservations are recommended for this small establishment (10-12) tables. Excellent selections and nice wine list. Highly recommended especially for special occasions. Next time we are in Como this will be top of our list. Thanks, Jonny, for a great evening! read more
