We decided to come here for lunch after visiting Villa del Balbianello. We took the water shuttle…read morefrom the villa to the town of Lenno, and from there it was an easy (slightly uphill) walk. This restaurant is definitely more frequented by locals than tourists, and it's located in something like a strip mall plaza with other businesses (don't know how else to describe this). It has its own parking lot which is nice for those who don't want to have to find their own parking on the street. Also note this restaurant is super close to a bus stop for the C10, so if you're staying in Menaggio, it's easy to get to and from here. We didn't have reservations, but there was an open table so we didn't have to wait. The menu is quite impressive with the variety of pizzas and seafood dishes you can order. Note they do thin crust pizza. We ordered a grilled vegetable dish that came with eggplant and zucchini. I ordered a pizza dish with artichokes, mushrooms, and prosciutto, and to be honest I wish there were more toppings. I much preferred the pizza my husband ordered which came with burrata, arugula, and fresh tomatoes. It was soooo good. The size of the pizzas is also huge!!! The price was great as well. I think mine was 9€ and my husband's was 12€. Next time, I would love to try the spaghetti with mussels!

Il menu è vario e ce n'è per tutti i gusti, propongono anche piatti della cucina spagnola. L'unica pecca è stato il servizio durante il periodo estivo poiché c'erano molti tavoli da servire e i camerieri hanno fatto confusione, nonostante questo siamo sempre stati soddisfatti dei pranzi/cene passati al Soqquadro.

They are expanding the dining area behind the main building and renovating what was once a carriage house into a cozy dining space and wine bar.

Granted I prefer thick-crust over thin but I also liked how they handled their toppings especially being generous with veggies. It was also interesting how they used soft cheeses and cold cuts more compared to the pizzas we're used to seeing in the US. Overall the service was friendly and food was tasty at a decent price.

It was a beautiful summer day and everyone was being seated on the outside terrace. Overhead are triangles of canvas blocking some of the sunlight so you may be in the sun or the shade depending on the angle of the sun. The waitress immediately took our drink order and was back in just a few minutes with our beverages. There were several tables occupied and seemed to be only one waitress who was in constant motion. We lingered over our drinks for about an hour, enjoying the day and view. A 1dl glass of house white and a 3dl beer came to $12.15. The train station has a couple of 'quick pick' vendors, but for a beautiful view and nice atmosphere, take a walk across the street.

Would give a 3.5 if I could. Great location right on the main pedestrian walkway area, right across…read morethe street from the lake. That said, good was OK, not amazing, but not bad either. Because of its good location, it was very busy, and while that's good for business, it also meant noise was an issue, and the staff was on edge trying hard to keep up with the crush of customers and people trying to land a table. Most of that is totally understandable. Our service wasn't bad, but clearly the waitress was being pulled in so many different directions. Meal itself was OK. Hubs had the spaghetti suicé (sp?), I had the spaghetti with clams. Our friend had the spaghetti bolognese. I also tried out the limoncello spritz which was nice and refreshing. I want to give this place a higher rating, but rounded down just due to the overall experience. I'd come again, hoping for a more relaxed experience.

I didn't plan on being in Varese but this meal made the trip worth it. Highly recommended.
