"A beautiful spot with an incredible terrace overlooking Lake Como. The meat and fish dishes were fantastic, and the wine complemented everything perfectly. One thing to note is that dogs are not allowed in the restaurant, so plan accordingly."

"A beautiful gem! They have a stunning terrace overlooking the lake with amazing vistas of the mountains and the water. The staff are very nice and friendly. The menu is great and they have a special meal every day. We had the “land appetizer” and it was delicious and gigantic… we were full after it. But we wanted to have more of this amazing food so we ordered the daily special- bluebe risotto with deer carpaccio. It was delicious! My only regret was that we didn’t have any space left for dessert- next time :)"

"Some of the best food we’ve had here, with amazing view of the lake!
We went up on the terrace which has great views, and everything regarding the food was perfect. The only not so good part was the service: the waiters were not very friendly, and forgot our water too.
For the starter, we shared some ragu pasta. It was “wow”, just “wow”. The sauce was sooo good, and the pasta had the perfect texture.
We did not realize for the main dish that we got the steak that it was to be cooked by us. It was completely seared but rare on the inside. But this was the best part! It came in a hot clay plate, with some super hot butter, so you cook your sliced beef right the way you wanted it!! And the meat was high quality and tender!."
