I have never seen a wine list in a 3" thick binder! The Sommelier's suggestion was delicious. We went with our waiter's suggestion of the appetizer special: porcini mushrooms in garlic olive and herbs. Wow! My husband had the gnocchi and licked the bowl. I had the mushroom and sausage pasta which was delicious. So glad we got the pistachio dessert. Absolutely decadent. Had the best time and met two other couples and closed the place down. All in all a delightful evening!

All of our dishes (shared appetizers) and mains were phenomenal. The menu changes often. We had apple risotto- different but in the best way! And the simple linguine ragu hits the spot! Everyone who works here is super friendly and welcoming. Everyone spoke English fluently and was able to help us decide the lovely Italian menu. We came back for dinner, and: Uncia Polenta is to die for!!! You literally get a family portion, so be ready to share. It's made with 3 cheeses and butter Onion Soup in a bread bowl also phenomenal!!

They also had run out of certain dishes by our 2pm sign (better sign- means everything made in house fresh). Their green salad was super fresh and flavorful with feta, tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and olives. Then my husband and I split the paccheri special which had tuna and a divine butter sauce with capers and olives. All around stunning meal!!!

This is a lovely location, but they charge you €4 cover just to sit in their chair---and the food is at " resort" prices--all this I could accept, except the rudeness and arrogance of the staff. Then, at the end of the meal, a different waitperson asked if we wanted to add a service gratuity!!!--never have had anyone arrogant enough to ask for it in Europe before! So, no, we did not feel it was good service when your co-worker rudely mocks us and other Americans at the restaurant! There are other places very close by where the people are nice! We won't make this mistake again!

We all settled on our first and second course and our server was promptly at the table to take our order. Mr. Bee ordered the Meat Ravioli in a cream sauce to start and it was excellent. The ravioli were perfectly cooked, and the filling was tender, and flavorful. I started with Paccheri, a wide pasta noodle like a rigatoni, but smooth and larger. The sauce was a roasted cherry tomato sauce with a basil olive oil drizzle. It was incredible. Italians certainly know how to make and cook pasta to perfection. For our second course, Mr. Bee had Veal Cheeks over Polenta. He loved every bite. I ordered a Filet of Beef and on the side was Polenta, and grilled baby artichokes. Both were delicious. The filet could have been a bit more tender, but it had a rich beefy flavor. It was the perfect end to an amazing trip.

I scoured the internet for places to Italy for a business trip to Lake Como and I was told Il Gatto…read moreNero was the place to try. Perched on top of a hill, this unassuming restaurant offers an incredible view. I made an early reservation, as I was hoping to go out and about after, so I got there close to when they opened and had the whole place to myself. They seated me on one of their balconies, with a beautiful view of the lake. I went right around sunset. The downside was that the mosquitos were out in full force. Luckily I had bug spray on me and doused myself. The food was fantastic. I wish I could have been there with more people to have shared other items. Going by myself made it hard to get multiple things as I only have so much room in my stomach. I got beef tenderloin which was very good and table side tiramasu, which was the highlight. There were so many things I wanted to try. This is definitely a cute little spot. The host joked about seating a party at George Clooney's regular table. I imagine this place gets fairly busy on weekends or later in the night, but earlier in the day a few of us had the whole restaurant to ourselves. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Lake Como.
