Very friendly service by the owners. They do speak a bit English so it’s possible to an idea about the menu. Wine were good. Everything is good. Totally recommend the Ragu and the liver.

Great place, huge, back-in-time kind of restaurant with a very nice atmosphere due to the huge fireplace, piano, interior design, ceiling and floor. Food was always great! As locals, we like to come here and taste various types of food, as the owner always cooks some of the plates based on season vegetables. Everything is always yummy. The owner is a one of a kind guy and the prices are very fair for the products he’s using. Sweets are always home made and deliciois! Service always good. There s also a parking space next to the restaurant! Totally reccomended!

If you want/can travel 5min outside of Como and you love food, this is your place.From antipasti to dessert, everything was amazing.Bruno, the owner was incredible easy-going and did half portions of some of the dishes so we could try as many as possible.I'm total, 4 ppl we ate until we almost exploded, plenty of antipasti, we shared 2 primi and 3 secondi, 3 desserts, a bottle of wine and couple of shots of grappa for 190euros.It might not be for every budget but if you want to do a kind of special night out while on holidays, I truly recommend it.
