The BEST meal we had during our whole stay across both Milan & Lake Como. We felt well looked after by the staff and it was a delightful experience.
We enjoyed the lamb chops so much that we ordered an extra plate to share!
Exquisite food

We stayed in the air bnb attached to this restaurant which is also awesome. The food here was great, the service was warm and attentive when needed. The quality of the food was top tier and if you’re in the area and want a nice romantic dinner in a 17th century building I would highly recommend.

We were here in July and we had a wonderful evening. I would describe the cuisine as classic Italian but particularly high quality, all the courses were incredibly delicious.
The small wine list consists almost exclusively of Italian wines, we drank a tasty Riesling from Piedmont.
Particularly noteworthy is the very friendly and professional service, also in English.
We would love to come back!

An absolute beautiful place to spend the early evening. we sat outside and had an amazing lake view. the dinner was also delicious. well balanced flavours. the only critic for our meal was the we ordered the steak medium rare and it was more than medium cooked. not sure if that happens often or just for us. but the pasta was fresh and close to perfect. totally recommend the place

We stumbled upon this restaurant on a day strolling along the lake on Varenna. The restaurant was set in a secluded area of the town where there’s not much going on. However, we had the honour to be the only table in the restaurant for lunch that afternoon sitting at the patio overlooking the lake. I can echo the other reviewer that this should be a Michelin starred restaurant quality food! We had the two course lunch ordering smoke trout and smoked duck, and lamb chop as well as pappardelle ragu for entree and finished off with a berries and gelato dessert. Everything was beyond this world delicious. Hopefully I’ll have the chance to visit again soon!

Our dining experience at this restaurant was outstanding. We visited twice—once for lunch and once for dinner. The service was exceptional, with Norma as our host. She was knowledgeable, polite, and hospitable. The wine list featured a wide variety of local selections.
The zucchini blossoms were delightful, and the tagliatelle with Puccini mushrooms was authentically prepared. The local lake fish was a unique and memorable experience. My wife ordered the beef tartar and the local steak, both of which were absolutely stunning. We highly recommend this restaurant in every way possible

This was one of the best meals my wife and I had on our trip to Lake Como. It’s a little further up the road from town, so a bit of a walk but there are some public paid parking available nearby. Every part of our dinner was great, both food and drink. Hospitality/service was great. We called ahead for a reservation and were able to eat outside. Would highly recommend this place, it’s worth it if you are in Varenna/Perledo area.

Stayed across the street at a really nice Airbnb. Figured we’d give the restaurant a try. Walk up and some elderly waitress abruptly swings open the door and says they’re all booked up despite the numerous open seats outside. I then walk back up to the door to inquire about reservations and she says “use the website” and shuts the door lol
They need to fire this old dingbat, it’s not a good look. Especially for a run-down place without a view. Go a bit further down the street to a place like Bar Il Molo. Friendly staff and great view. Other great places in Varenna too. No need to visit this rude establishment.
Instead, I just order from Varenna and get a better view from my accommodation than this place can provide, without a rude old lady

Our best meal in the area!
The food was exquisite. My husband had a 3 course meal. Beef tartare, spaghetti bolognese ( with duck), and lamb chops ( the best lamb chops I ever tried). On the other hand, I went all vegetarian, but heavenly as well. I had a fried zucchini with ricotta inside and a spaghetti with mushroom/coliflower/ brocoli. A mix of vegetables that made it extremely flavorful.
For dessert, I ordered the soft ice cream with walnuts and some coffee.
The restaurant was a lovely combination of rustic and clasic. Very beautiful.
And our service was outstanding
We really enjoyed our experience.
