Nice and homely and tradition place, lile your old school kopi tiam.Food is simple, honest and good. Dessert - MUST ORDER the lemon and ginger sorbet topped with vodka. Italian owner is friendly and like a comforting grandfather figure.

Nice restaurant, on the more hidden side of Cernobbio, full of locals enjoying a typical day. There is a private parking available for the clients. The pumpkin ravioli were delicious!

A very pleasant surprise. If in doubt take the degustiazone. 3 course wine and coffee. Everything outstanding. I do not need another reason to visit Lake Como but I have one now.

Lovely restaurant on Lake Como with the most authentic and delicious food in the area. Home to the nicest mascot dog who walks around and sits under your table. Everything we got was delicious, the owner is very kind.

We have a wedding tomorrow and saw the party that stole the bride here before we came in… we almost didn’t come in, but then something pulled us in.. we weren’t disappointed. We shared 4 dishes like uncultured Americans we are.. but the hosts were accommodative and nice enough to accept our patronage. 5 stars. Each dish was delivered swiftly and on point for our stomaches’ liking. May my fellow travelers and wedding attendees find this jewel and enjoy their dinners as we did. Bravo!

Cute hidden gem with friendly service and tasty Italian kitchen dishes. The risotto was ridiculously good, they were our group‘s favorites. We got both— and each had its own amazing and distinct flavor. Would happily return!

We only had four hours in Como, and we managed to find this place. We didn't have a reservation but the staff were very accommodating and were able to seat us. Unfortunately they were out of the risotto ossobuco alla milanese at the time, but the tagliata di manzo con funghi and the tagliolini al cinghiale were absolutely amazing. Well worth the trip!

Hidden away in narrow streets you can find this traditional trattoria. Lots of typical local dishes and different wines to chose from. For a friendly price.Portions are big. We had a antipasti with a primi and I didn’t had any place for a dessert left. Desserts though come in a right size.We had a good diner here. Good service. It is a nice place.
