good for views but food just ok. food was a bit disappointing especially at the price point. one of the menus we tried was called "contamination" and i could tell why - some dishes the flavors just didn't go well together at all (strawberry and tomato sorbet, rabbit ravioli on top of tuna tartare). there were a couple good dishes like the first amuse bouche bite of a small pastry filled with savory cream and sausage or the squid tagliatelle with mint). overall, the food was decent but i've had much better meals at the ~$150+ price point. service was very good and view of the lake was amazing. unfortunately there was also a very strong breeze and the night got quite cold and we were not prepared. it was ~90F during the day in Bellagio and Varenna but felt like ~65F sitting out on the terrace. I also informed the staff I had a mild peanut and cashew allergy but they were overly concerned about all nut cross-contamination and wouldn't serve me almonds (which limited a few dishes).

The restaurant outlook was fantastic. Service was attentive and friendly. Our waiter had a great sense of humour. The food was good, but a little fussy. I think for example ’foam’ is not something needed IMHO.

Food was delicious and presentation was beautiful. The service was impeccable, and while this was an elegant meal, the staff were friendly and engaging. Even the pastry chef and head chef came to introduce themselves and asked our thoughts on the dinner. Unforgettable experience and highly recommended!

The food, the service and the ambience were all absolutely first class I made a mistake with timing (still on U.K time) and they could not have been more helpful. I'm truth it is a little pricey ,but from my experience, you will not find anywhere better in Varenna You're on holiday, treat yourself.

The view, and service were outstanding. The pacing of the dishes with wine pairings were perfect. Some of the food was great while some tasted alright. Every dish though was a work of art. We enjoyed our 7 course tasting menu picked by the chef. Over $700 euros for 2 people so was hoping for the dishes to be more slightly more tasty. However, it was a beautiful and very enjoyable experience.
