They seated us outside and the views during the daytime are just incredible. It felt so peaceful and relaxed :) I enjoyed a stuffed pasta dish while my fiance had lake fish with vegetables. Both of our dishes tasted very fresh and flavorful; not too heavy for a lunchtime meal and we left feeling satisfied. Definitely a great meal, plus this place is located just a short walk away from the beautiful Villa Carlotta!

Impeccable and friendly service with a true chefs tasting menu, be sure to make a reservation as the restaurant is small. Choose from a 1, 2 or 3 course meal, with dessert being additional, we came here twice and all menu items were amazing. The ravioli with stracchino, black truffle, mountain butter and parmagiano reggiano was my favorite. Mom loved the risotto with roasted onion semi dried tomato and basil. Interesting items such as the Catfish appetizer and complimentary seasoned herbed ricotta on a rice chip had interesting and unexpected flavors. Truly, don't miss this one.

During the warmer months dining on the terrace while taking in the gorgeous view of the mountains and Como Di Lago is a lovely experience. Fresh melon, prosciutto and local cheeses and a bottle of regional red wine to start. The roasted rabbit, Pizzoccheri, tender rich gnocchi, and polenta uncia were all delicious. Should you choose to avoid the more touristy spots while in the area, this is a solid choice to enjoy regional fresh dishes in a relaxing atmosphere.

We dined during sunset and had a great view overlooking the town of Tremezzo. Since seating is mainly outdoors, I recommend applying bug spray upon arriving. Citronella candles given by staff helped to deter the mosquitos -- just one example of their kind and attentive service. Aside from the views, the food was amazing. The fish risotto was the fan favorite at our table but I would also highlight the braised beef as well! If you are looking for an authentic dining experience at fair prices and stunning views, you definitely need to add La Fagurida to your Lake Como itinerary.

The outdoor seating overlooked the lake and we were seated in a residential cobblestone alley - which added to the ambience. The staff is very friendly and didn't speak much English. We had caprese, a salad, a fresh pasta with rabbit ragu and this huge t bone steak. Everything was prepared excellently. Highly recommend if you're trying to get a more authentic experience than the big hotels.

Named after the…read morerectanglar sails of the Lake's fishing boats from a bygone era, Al Veluu would be worth a visit even if there was no panoramic view. The kitchen exhibits that ability peculiar to great Italian cooking of transforming good fresh ingredients in relatively simple recipes into exquisite dishes. We dined there twice recently, a dinner and a lunch. Both were extraordinary experiences. Two risotoo dishes in particular stand out : a porchini risotto and risotto Milanese with its saffon infusion; both were about as good as I have tasted anywhere. Pasta dishes and a preparation of a local lake fish were also perfectly seasoned and tasty. And both of the local wines that was recommended turned out to be delicious and well-matched to our dishes. But what elevates this epicurian experience above and beyond is the restuarant's location and thus its spendid vistas. Dining on the patio one sits high on a hilltop overlooking the lake, affording the diner with a majestic panorama. The candlelit table, the exquisite food, the wonderful wine and the splendor of Lake Como all around; as a romantic experience, it would be hard to beat. Getting to the restaurant, you should be aware, will generally require a car or a taxi. For our lunch we did walk up the hill. Walking takes around 20 minutes and the walk is up some moderately steep roads that are not pedestrian-friendly, so it would not be adviseable to walk it at night.

One of the best parts of this place is it's view. Make sure you see it with some daylight because it was pitch dark by the time we got there. Also, if you are going there for dinner think how you are coming down to Tremmezo again if you are staying along the coast. It was raining when we wanted to leave and we had walked/hiked there so there was only one way to leave. A Taxi. This was ridiculously expensive. We paid 25 euros for a 5-10 mins ride. Ridiculous! The restaraunt itself is rustic and the staff is friendly. The food is very yummy. I had the best prosciutto I have ever had and very good bufala mozzarella. One if us at the tomatoe sauce pasta and the other the pork loin stuffed with herbs and cheese. Yuuumy!!!! We were really full after our dinner and unfortunately did not go for dessert. The ambience is rustic and they had a fire going in their fireplace. The restaraunt is small and doesn't sit that many people. We were surprised that even tho there weren't too many people the service was relatively slow. Lastly, this restaurant is expensive. Portions are small for their price. But it's a really nice experience.

The chicken was so tender and perfectly seasoned . Was surprised to get the fries , which were delicious and crispy but was expecting a roasted potato .

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.
