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.

It was an absolutely delicious meal!! The presentation was amazing! The chef coming to the table to finish dishes was exciting to watch. The taste and textures were something we had never experienced before. The entire staff, waiters were very attentive and knowledgeable about the dishes. The best culinary experience of our lives.We will definitely recommend to our friends traveling to Varenna.

From start to finish we were highly impressed. It was probably the single best meal of my lifetime. Should have a Michelin Star!

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.

We had nothing negative to say! The view was outstanding and the staff were so courteous . We did the 5 tasting menu and each aspect was a pleasant surprise. I don't eat coffee, so they subbed my dessert to a chocolate souffle, and the pastry chef actually completed the souffle tableside. We also had the fortune of meeting the head chef as well We consider ourselves "foodies" and gave this restaurant 5 stars!!!

We had the tasting menu and 3 of the 6 courses were very good but the other 3 were not up to the standard of a place with a price point that this place is on. Just shy of $500 for 2 pp and only one of us had a wine pairing. The one that disappoints the most was the risotto dish, the lemon was just way to much, it took over the dish. The staff is really great, we just thought that for the price it was underwhelming. I’ve spent twice that on dinners before but they were awesome Michelin star restaurants were everything was exceptional.

Lovely staff and ambiance. The food however was disappointing for the price you pay. The cooking was mostly fine (although almost everything seemed under-seasoned) but the dishes and their flavours were generally underwhelming.

Amazing service and ofcourse beautiful views ! The food was the best we had in Varenna and to top it off it was my wife’s birthday so they gave a free cake and a couple of Proseccos on the house . Will definitely recommend this if you are in Varenna !!

The food was probably one of the most horrible food we had in a long time : my daughter’s chicken was complitely undercooked, a bellini was orangina mixed with a bad prosecco, cork in the wine .. we left half of the food because it was inedible … :( You could feel waiters were unhappy to work there and this bad experience almost managed to ruin the view! never coming back for sure.

The view, service, the wine and the panna cotta was outstanding! However all the mains and appetizers were inedible. We were hungry and literally left them in our plates.
Visteria • Owner
Dear Abe, we're sorry about your word but we are confused about that, as we notice that you made the same review on Tripadvisor in which you wrote that you ate the dinner, meanwhile here in this review you wrote that the mains and the appetizer were inedible and you left them in your plates.

Amazing place in Varenna: location with a stunning view of Bellagio, gourmet food, very professional service. For delicate people, obviously not for tourists looking for a cheap pizza. We had a very nice moment, everything from beginning to the end was exceptional.
