Caprese salad.
Robert A.

Gorgeous Al fresco setting. Beautiful garden. Outstanding meal and service. If you want an expertly prepared pizza, this is your place. If you want a more elegant northern Italian meal with fresh ingredients, this is your place. Coming to Cernobbio or the southern end of Lake Como, don't miss this gem.

Seafood pasta -- so deliciously delicious!
Laura F.

Yummmmpsh! Get the seafood pasta! Shrimp, mussels, happy dance in your mouth. This restaurant also has a very knowledgeable and friendly staff who are wine-pairing masters. Not sure if it was just the crowd that night or the acoustics of the room, but the noise level was perfect; lively but not loud. There's a huge list of pizzas so make sure to allot yourself at least 10 to 15 minutes to choose your dish. I had the tuna/onion/caper pizza and it was preettyyy good. Wish the onions had been red (they were yellow) and the capers smaller (they were GARGANTUAN). But it did taste good. But to bring this review full circle, get the seafood pasta!! Or have your dad order it and steal his.

I'm the difficult one gluten-free and pescatarian, they were very accommodating and the food was delicious! Everyone else in our party, six of us total, had typical Italian dishes, some even had the fish the 2nd night, very fresh, perfectly seasoned, pasta dishes were all spot on, great wine selection and they complementary round of lemoncello to finish it off. Wonderful staff, highly recommend!

We were seated immediately on a Tuesday evening on their cozy outdoor patio. The servers were happy…read moreto offer suggestions and explanations of the menu. We were a party of four and everyone really enjoyed their meal. My Tagliatelle pasta with Porcini mushrooms was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. I ate every bite. It paired well with the grilled veg plate that included zucchini, aubergine (eggplant), potato and radicchio. And what's Italy without a decadent but simple dessert? I had the tiramisu. It was very light, not too sweet and moist. I could have eaten 2! It was that good. My fiends had to be Pistachio Panna Cotta and they raved about it too. I loved the casual vibe and outdoor dining feel. The food was prepared well and very high quality. You can tell they take pride in their food and every bite told me why. Prices were very reasonable and a short walk from our hotel along the shore of the lake. I love this great little find. Delicious food, friendly staff and very good service.

The most stunning cafe - your Italy trip is not complete without a visit here…read more The cafe is pretty tucked away from the bustle near the tram station. You have to walk ~15 minutes through a neighborhood and outlook point to get here (very pretty walk through a quiet street with villas that ends in a scenic view of the lake and Como). If you go during an off hour (we went around 4pm), it should be pretty quiet - it does pick up a lot more around meal times. Menu prices are affordable, especially considering the amazing views - just unmatched. The couple that runs the cafe is also super sweet and hardworking. We got a mocktail, gelato, and sorbet, and ended with some lasagna and pasta. I'd recommend the drinks and ice cream. Highly recommend you check this out!

I don't know how this place only has 4 reviews on here. This is by far the best dining experience…read moreI've ever had. This place is quaint, intimate, and has probably the best view of the lake ever. It was so fun taking the Funicular up to the top of the mountain and taking photos and just stopping IN AWE the whole route up there. The owner and his wife are so kind and hospitable. The food was unreal (we had the bruschetta, bolognese, and tiramisu) as was the wine. The music playing helped keep the ambiance romantic while the customer service made the experience unforgettable. My husband and I travelled here on our honeymoon and have said eating here was possibly one of the top 5 moments of our lives. I can't recommend it enough! Thank you Balcone Sul Lago!!!

The staff was friendly and they place a nice table cloth on the table when you sit down. We ordered a small charcuterie board and another appetizer (I can't remember the name) and it was enough to fill 3 of us until dinner. I would recommend going up to Brunate for a snack at this restaurant if you are visiting Como or the Lake Como region!

This restaurant was surprisingly affordable despite looking very touristy. The views are just…read moreincredible. There were tables with the lake view always available every time we stopped by during our two-night stay in Brunate. Pizza was cheap, they were all under 10 euro and I believe the margherita we ordered was 6 euro. We also got the assorted bruschetta for 5 euro which was delicious - I love how they serve bruschetta in Lake Como.The smoothies there were good, a bit watery but the flavor was great, but over-priced at 7 euro each. The beer my boyfriend got was also pricey around 8 euro for a bottle I believe. I had the tiramisu after our meal which was served in a cute, little jar, and it was honestly amazing. Creamy, smooth, and not too sweet. If you find yourself in Brunate and don't want to eat at one of the fancy, hotel restaurants, definitely grab a bite or drink here at the very least!
