We recently visited this wonderful restaurant and had an amazing, beautifully crafted meal accompanied by incredibly generous hospitality. We’re visiting from NYC, and this was easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve had.

A huge thank you to Ava for taking such great care of us and welcoming us in. Chef Noemi’s menu had us over the moon, showcasing gorgeous seasonal flavors and incredible local ingredients.

The charcuterie and bresaola were perfect bites alongside the freshly baked focaccia—so good that we enjoyed it enough to order another one made to order.

Then came the pasta course, which was exactly what I was hoping for. We ordered a medley of four freshly made pastas, each arriving in a beautiful cadence of flavors—a pitch-perfect sonata of local ingredients. The gnocchi with truffles and the seafood spaghetti special were particular favorites of mine, though everyone at the table savored every bite.

The fish filet with polenta and tomatoes followed, and it delivered some of my favorite bites of the entire meal. And then there was the T-bone steak special, served sizzling on a platter. Perfectly seasoned and beautifully sliced, it quickly became just about everyone’s favorite.

Of course, we had to finish with dessert. The tiramisu and the made-to-order Chef’s special dessert were both fantastic and truly soared as highlights of the meal.

We’ll be thinking about this dinner for a long time—not just because of the food, but because of the experience. It was a truly one-of-a-kind meal, made even more special by sharing it with friends who have become brothers.

We visited this place twice in two days. The first day was a delicious lake salmon and mozzarella and tomato salad, and a dessert made, especially by the chef owner. Ava our server was thoughtful and lovely. Translations were seamless - lunch on day two was pizza with fungi and onion and a salad so fresh of tomato, chicken and  lamb’s lettuce and more onion - just wonderful. Oswald, the owner, steps out of the kitchen with delights. Felt at home in Como.

I had the fish starter balls, and ragu lasagna which was amazing! My friend had the gnocchi with truffle which wasn't very exceptional (bit sticky and chewy). Maybe that's how they serve but I'd have loved if it was less sticky. The lad offered good options for wine bottle options and we enjoyed ours. The only thing I would suggest for foreign tourists is to ask for the outside of menu dishes too. They also serve good rissotos which I had previously seen in the reviews but since it wasn't listed on the menu, I thought they were not serving it. I would have loved to try the rissoto as it the local cuisine instead of lasagna. Thus 3 starts for service. Hope this helps!

We came here after a nice day at the lake and had a fantastic dinner. The vitello tonnato was the best I’ve ever had. We had to wait for it a bit but the chef brought out some small hams and cheeses in the meantime. The yellow rice with veal was exceptional. Clearly the place isn’t super fancy, but the service is great, they have fantastic wines, delicious food, and a very authentic atmosphere for a reasonable price. Highly recommend this restaurant.

We had a fabulous dinner at this cozy family run restaurant. Everything was as we expexted by the great reviews. Food was from high quality ingredients and was cooked to perfection! To finish it off with best Tiramisu! Try this wine it was smooth and worked well with steak. We will certainly return!
