But once inside, our server spoke an English and Spanish which was a plus. Our pizzas were delicious. They have one of the freshest tasting Cesar salads.

We came in at 2pm and they quickly seated us. We ordered a mushroom pizza and a prosciutto pizza. I was imagining these to be small so I also got a spaghetti with clams. Service was speedy and the food arrived as soon as we had ordered. All three items were okay. I was expecting to be wowed and didn't get that. It felt a bit better than frozen pizza and the spaghetti tasted very ordinary. We were a bit let down from the reviews. The food sufficed; not sure we would come back.

This was my favorite place to eat in Lake Como and one of my favorite for my trip to Italy. It was…read morea short walk from our hotel so it was convenient. Staff was friendly and spoke both English and Italian. It had a good atmosphere. Just be willing to walk up or down steps depending which direction you are coming from. The food was amazing. There was a good variety so we wanted to try a few things. The pizza was delicious. The fresh ravioli with pesto had lots of flavor. The ingredients make a difference. We had tiramisu for dessert. It was my first time trying traditional Italian tiramisu. Loved it. I tried it at every restaurant in Italy after because it was so good here. I have not eaten it since coming back to the US.

Sant'Orsola Pizzeria has hands down the best pizza I've ever tasted... in my life!…read more From the dough to the toppings, every bite tasted magical. The dough was crusty on the outside (and under the slices), fluffy and light on the inside, and stayed moist even as the pizza cooled down. Unlike Neapolitan pizzerias I've been to in the USA, the sheer size of the pizzas and amount of toppings here were very generous. There was so much cheese! I got the namesake pizza Sant'Orsola, which came with mozzarella di bufala, ricotta, speck, and peperoncino. It was amazing. Their menu is very extensive, with usual selections like Margherita, 4 Formaggi, Diavola, etc... in the €8-10 range, and a large selection of specialty pizzas in the lower €10s. These very large individual pizzas can feed 2 people or one very hungry pizza lover like me... and even then, I had to take half of my pizza home. This is definitely a must-try in the lovely city of Bergamo.

For me, the quaint dinner atmosphere would have been helped greatly if AC/DC, Led Zeppelin and Ozzy Osbourne weren't blasting. "Highway to Hell" ruined the charm of the setting. I asked the waiter if we couldn't get some calmer music, he turned it off for 2 minutes and then right back on again. Did not have the willpower to continue for dessert.

Thin crust pizza that's so good you'll want to eat all your crust. But really. It's manages to be…read moresoft and pillowy and crunchy at the same time. With just the right amount of saltiness and semolina and air bubbles. But I've zoomed in on the crust too enthusiastically. The menu is extensive, and has any Italian pizza lovers favorite combination (all languages available--at least English, French, German, Italian). The ingredients were perfectly farm-fresh. The cherry tomatoes on my buffalina pizza had a sweet sugary flavor profile. And the Buffalo mozzarella was thin skinned with a soft milky interior, just the way it should be. The sauce was simple--fresh tomatoes puréed. And it's like they knew me, because the condiment they brought to thr table was pimento oil, because I love being emotional when I eat. Clearly it worked because I'm in love. The amoré kind of love. FYI There's public parking just beyond the restaurant, so the time between parking and pizza is efficient. And service was very professional and kind.

Great food with a beautiful view!…read more Ascona is absolutely beautiful and this restaurant sits on one of the prettiest streets I've seen that overlooks the entire lake and mountains and it's a beautiful sight to see. During the day you can sit outside in the mornings or afternoons and share a cup of coffee or nice glass of wine and just enjoy the sun shining over the lake and the peace and tranquility and beauty of Switzerland from this great restaurant. At night the restaurant lights are dimmed low and the dinner is enjoyed by glow of candlelight. It makes for a wonderfully romantic evening. The wine list is pretty extensive and they also have a nice selection of Ticinese wines that you cannot find outside of Switzerland. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and our server was happy to go over the wine list with us and made some excellent recommendations for local wines to try. They have a pretty good extensive menu for food as well, they have everything from pizza to salads to pasta and grilled shrimp and everything is pretty affordable especially for being in Switzerland. One of the best dishes I had was the mushroom risotto it was very very good and full of flavor. It was also nice that you could order the smaller or larger portion size which is always a great option for groups who like to share and try several plates. I highly recommend trying some of their deserts they are all very good as well. They had some deserts on the menu that I've never had anywhere else before and some I've never even heard of so we decided to try them since our server recommended them so highly and said they were some of the restaurants specialties and they were all very unique and very very good. Overall it's a great place, if you're in the area and looking for a nice place to enjoy the view and get some great food I highly recommend checking this place out morning or night you will not be disappointed!

The staff seemed a little bit cold towards me since I'm an American tourist, but I attempted a little bit of Italian and they warmed up real quick. There's a ton of choices on what to get on your pizza. The kitchen happened to be closed at the time I came in, but pizza could still be ordered. The house wine is pretty good as well. Easy walk from the Four Points hotel. I would have gone back if I had more time.
