10/10Visteria is a jewel in the Como Crown. This restaurant has to be up there as one of the best in the world. Certainly one to watch for a future Michelin Star. The food creativity is sublime and service impeccable. Add in the outstanding view and there you have it; The perfect venue for culinary evening.

Spectacular service and amazingly creative food every bite was a joy and some courses stretched my fiancé and I’s palette but everything was extremely enjoyable. In our two week trip this by far our favorite dinning experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for fine dining and excellent views

7.5/10good 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).

For sure they’re on the verge of at least one Michelin star ! Get there before the word gets out! Amazing tasting menu! Blew away any tasting experience I had ever had. Food was amazing, drink was amazing and the service was amazing! I’m not even mentioning the killer view!

Visteria was a wonderful dining experience. The food was beautifully presented and everything was an amazing tasting experience. The staff were lovely, and very attentive. We had a table on the balcony so the view was stunning. A wonderful dining experience.

9/10The 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.

10/10The 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.

+4The 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.

10/10We 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!!!

7/10We 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.

3/10The 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.

6/10The 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.

10/10Amazing 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.
