The bruschetta was absolutely incredible and the tomatoes were the freshest I've ever tasted. The pizza had the perfect amount of crunch and flavor And we all really enjoyed the carbonara and lasagna as well. Great wine list to boot! Given the limited options around Menaggio, we ended up eating here almost every dinner of our trip. They also own a very sweet wine shop down the road that is an absolute must visit. The lady who ran it was so warm and welcoming. Our kids wanted to come in every day just to say hello to her! (And we took plenty of olive oil and wine home)

Thankfully, we ended up being the last ones able to secure a table, since everything else was reserved. There's both indoor and outdoor dining, and we sat indoors which was decorated in a cozy way that reminded me of being in a house. First and foremost, the service here is amazing. All of the servers were so friendly. We ordered a mixed salad to share (big portion), and I ordered the macaroni with bolognese sauce while my husband ordered this chicken and pork sausage dish that came with polenta. We both enjoyed our dishes and finished every last bit. This pasta was actually one of my favorite dishes I have had while visiting Italy. We were in Tuscany before this, and they are famous for ragú/meat based pasta dishes, but honestly this dish was superior to what I tasted there. We also had the house wine (1.5 liters which was only 7€) which was so smooth. I would definitely recommend coming here, but make a reservation in advance!

So if you are self conscious ask to sit inside. They have a basic menu of pasta and at first we thought, "this will not be enough food." It was plenty and so flavorful.

Previous night I ate at different restaurant and it was ok so I didn't have much expectation coming to this but I was wrong.

They brought cured meat with cheese on the house while I was waiting for the food. The dishes came out not so long after. Octopus was cooked right about of time, it was very tender. I enjoyed the pasta very much. All the dishes tasted so well that I want to order some more but I was full. This is my go to restaurant if I come to Varenna again. Highly recommended
