    The food was delicious. Service a bit slow. Was disappointed they didn't acknowledge our 35th anniversary as I noted that when booked the reservation. I was also disappointed we were in a small dining room and not in the front room that overlooked the lake, as they were having a private party there. Prices were somewhat high for what you received.

    We had a great dining experience! The seabass was perfectly cooked. For dessert, we tried both the tiramisu and the cheesecake—each was delicious in its own way. The staff were incredibly attentive and made us feel well looked after throughout our meal.

    The place is not bad, service is normal but not that good. However the food has nothing to do with the fancy image they’re trying to present. The dishes had no flavor nor creativity, I could eat that at any mediocre restaurant, most i can even do better at home. The fish we had tasted like frozen fish with no flavor, no sauce and very dry. We did complain to the waiter serving us but he didn’t seem to care much. Definitely not recommended!

    The food was perfect, and the location was ideal. However, the service lacked flexibility when I requested separate bills. Additionally, while dining in the garden, the varying temperatures were uncomfortable due to insufficient fans.

    Food was just okay, not very flavorful. We also ordered grilled veggies that never came but we charged for it anyways. One of our servers was so visibly upset at our existence he rolled his eyes when he came to grab our plates. My husband is a native Italian speaker, and we were very polite and excited to be there, so I do not know why this was. There was also a noisy wedding party next door and it felt strange to pay €100+ euros when listening to “Fergalicious”.

    Sat outside on a beautiful night in Como. We loved the Tagliatale, the ravioli, the grillled vegetables. The Tiramisu was to die for. Wait staff was very attentive while giving us space to enjoy a quiet night out. Ambiance was quiet in spite of being full. If you like the environment set by loud customers competing with loud music, skip this gem. Perfect evening.

    The food was delicious, the service was outstanding (they could speak English to us), and the toilets were spotless. The range of food is excellent, and there are a lot of different options.
