Easily the best meal we had in Como during our week stay. It is expensive, but that should not surprise anyone given the menu is available online and restaurants in 5* hotels are almost always pricey. The staff was very accommodating to our bambini. One of few places that offers a burger and fries - a welcome change for our kids (9 and 7) after many meals of pizza/pasta. My wife and I shared foie gras (great), radicchio flan (unique and shockingly good), maccheroni (great tomato sauce), cacio pepe (fun table side prep and also great) and split a ribeye. Cannot say enough about the ribeye. We have eaten a numerous 3* Michelin restaurants, many of the top steakhouses in America, and this ribeye is, not exaggerating, the best steak either of us have had. It is thin cut, compared to American steaks, so do not go anything past medium rare. Wines, champagne and desserts all wonderful. We ate at 7:00pm, when the restaurant opens, service was prompt and very friendly.

10/10We were celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary-and this was the perfect place to do so. Fabulous setting overlooking the beautiful Lake Como. The food and service was first class and it was a truly memorable experience. Yes it was expensive but this was a very special celebration.

Had a lovely lunch here. Food was very good, not special, but the bruschetta was very fresh and the Milanese crispy. Tableside tiramisu service was fun and also more delicious than we expected. Overall a very relaxing lunch in a beautiful setting. Expensive overall.

2/10We had a reservation but they decided on the same evening that they close the restaurant ( maybe because it was to quiet or Italy was playing in the Semifinals of the European Championship?) and they never led us know. And the concierge of the 5 Star Grand Hotel (what 5 Stars???) not even apologized. Maybe you should consider another restaurant or hotel. Menaggio has super alternatives:

10/10One of the best home-style meals I have ever had with an incredible view. Go for sunset and go hungry! Almost to much food but luckily they finish the 7 courses off with lemonchello. Will 100% go back.
