“Great service, average food”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 September 2011

This is a very pleasant restaurant with tables in a front courtyard overlooking Lake Como. It was very close (walking distance) from our hotel, Grand Hotel Tremezzo.

The service was great, and the simple surroundings are quite romantic. Its almost like your in a very nicely done-up front garden!

Vegetarian options are very limited, which was a shame, but this seems to be a family run restaurant so happy to show our support.

The only downer is the heavy traffic which passes right through the front of the restaurant. Whilst great views of the lake, and the occasional moment of silence, most of the dinner was spent listening to cars, lorries, and motorbikes zipping past. Agreed its not the M25, but the traffic did start becoming irritating after a while.

We stayed at tremezzo and when we found this restaurant we went back every night for the food, the service and location. We spent our 28th anniversary there and couldn't have picked more perfect place to celebrate this milestone!

“"Very nice restaurant with a lake view "”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 July 2011

This is a great place to eat. A lovely terrace from which you can enjoy views of the lake..
The food is very good and and everything is fresh..Pasta, pizza meat, lake fish, sea fish...
The prices very cheap...Try their minestrone soup it's delicious, as are their pasta dishes.
The service is very friendly and efficient, they are always friendly and accommodating despite most often being very busy.
Try it,I don't think you will be disappointed.

“Lovely atmosphere and perfect pasta”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 March 2011

people found this review helpful

When we entered the restaurant for lunch we were the only guests, and only one other table was occupied when we left. This is not an indication of the quality of the food.
We had heard about how delicious the gnocchi were and my husband, being quite a fan of gnocchi, ordered them. They had a different name on the menu but the server knew exactly what he wanted. They were the best he had tasted ever. I tried trofie, a pasta totally unknown to me, with pesto. It was melt in your mouth delicious. We had room left for dessert and those were good too but not quite as outstanding as the pastas. Dessert cost nearly as much as the pasta. Our total with water and coperto came to 33 Euro. If we'd had another day in the area, we would have gone back for dinner. We strongly recommend this relaxing place to dine.
