Wonderful location and excellent food. The lemon ravioli lived up to the hype, and the sorbet might be one of the best I’ve ever had. Very friendly and professional service. Absolutely worth the price!
We were fortunate to grab a table here for 2025 Sagra di San Giovanni, the most renowned fireworks show on Lake Como. I could not imagine a more spectacular evening. The restaurant is amazing, delicious seafood, homemade ravioli, steaks, and dessert. Every night is 5 stars.
Went here on recommendation from a friend. Reservation is highly recommended, although a few people found seats as walk in customers. Multi story parking nearby otherwise standard parking as all over Como. The atmosphere is wonderful, tables right on the lake with a great view. The staff was exceptional, very polite and helpful. Food was excellent, everything executed to a high degree. Prices were honestly better than expected, we pretty much ate and drank to the point of exploding and paid 150eur for two. I will be sure to visit this excellent spot whenever I'm in the area!
Was our first stop in Como: very nice quite location right near the lake Food is amazing, service is amazing too. We said that we want to share and they brought all dishes in different place for us. We tried steak, ravioli with lemon, shrimps and deserts - all was delicious, recommend. And also nice thing - how we got here. We stopped car at the Main Street and then one guy on bike was guiding us through tiny streets
Bucket‑list checked, five‑star magic. Seated lakeside in a gentle, warm rain, every moment felt cinematic. We savored impeccable sea bass in citrus‑kissed sauce, melt‑in‑your‑mouth lamb chops with mint, and the refreshing, subtle presence of gin. The service was attentive yet relaxed, letting us linger over each exquisite dish. Words fail me. I’ve never experienced something so harmonious, so lovingly crafted. This isn’t just dining; it’s an emotion. Thank you for an evening that transformed a birthday into a memory for the ages.
Lovely restaurant with very lovely and accommodating staff! We arrived upon opening time with no reservation and they were so lovely to fit us in. I don’t eat much so my husband and I usually order a meal to share and they so graciously split the meal onto two plates which has never happened to us before! It was so delicious we ordered the lemon pasta and the sorbet for dessert. We had such a lovely view as well! Great experience!
Went for dinner at 730pm (when they open) and only saw 3 tables with people the entire time we were there until close. The food was interesting (some weird) but really good. Black ink is scary but I didn't think it had a taste which was nice. The staff was very friendly and while I think the price for the amount of food is high, it was very good! 100€ for 2 people Oh! And they brought out blankets which was really nice Oh oh! And they even split all our plates for us so we had our own plates sharing everything.
Great food, service, and view. Perfect for a date night - especially right before sunset. It’s tucked away so it feels private, romantic, and away from all the noise. The standout was the Beet Burrata cheese.
