We were taken here by a local of Como who is a regular visitor of Madesimo. Very traditional and…read morerustic mountain Italian food. Excellent food, which only comes in one choice: a set menu of pizzocheri, mix meat plate and dessert. Great after a day of skiing since you will be overdosed with calories. Highly recommended!

My favorite place to eat in Madesimo! I fell in love with their pizzocheri, hot and gooey with…read moredelicious cheese, scented with fried garlic chips and sage. This is not a dish for someone on a diet but is the perfect comfort food for a snowy day in the mountains after skiing. I tried this in several places but the pizzocheri here is by far better than anywhere else I tried. They serve a set menu (although you don't have to get it) that comes with a large tasting of meats after the pizzocheri. There were many different types, including a whole veal shank, some stews, and cotechino, as well as some procini mushrooms and a side of cheesy polenta teragna (with buckwheat). Everything was delicious! Everything is served family style and portions are so generous I guarantee you will not leave hungry!

For your information this restaurant is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon. We reserved a…read moretable for dinner and arrived 15 mins. before 7pm, when the restaurant opens at night. They let us in anyway and we could already study the menus card. They have a selection of several menus, which I would recommend if you have big appetite. Otherwise there a selection of single dishes. I ordered the slice of foie gras with dried fruit and brioche bred. I enjoyed every bite as it tasted wonderful. The only critique I have is that they could have accompanied it with one additional slice of bread. As dessert I ordered chestnut , quince and scoop of ice cream in chocolate mousse. It was delightful and addictive. I chose a dessert wine to accompany both main course and dessert , which the friendly and attentive waitress recommended. We were a party of four and spent around 55.-€ each having had an aperitif, a glass of wine , a main course, dessert and coffee.
