Beautiful location, good service, sensible prices, great value and - most importantly - excellent food! We both had pastas (gnocchi and ravioli), which we loved. You could tell they were handmade with care. You must also make room for dessert; the chocolate soufflé and chocolate/zucchini cake were delicious! Highly recommended restaurant.

Surprise to enjoy a great lunch of melon and prosciutto and probably the best thin crust pizza so far on our trip to Lake Como. Great place to watch the lake ferries come in and out and see the mountains with the sun setting behind us. Could even see the castle above Varenna that we hiked up to yesterday.

Surrounded by the Pre-Alps and one of the most striking views of Lake Como, at La Vista Restaurant you can dine in the open air admiring spectacular sunsets, making you soothed by the magic of summer evenings where dominating is the lake's atmosphere. The

The view here is incredible, and the maitre d working when we visited was excellent. Unfortunately the rest of the wait staff let this place down. We ordered drinks and mains and our mains arrived before our drinks....we also had a long wait in getting the bill (3 tables were waiting in total to pay). The food was fine and the wine selection very good.

We had lunch here on our arrival day and were so inspired by the lovely combinations on the bruschetta's that we even made them at home as a starter one day. We also had dinner here on another day which was lovely.

Staying in a very nice large hotel in Menaggio. We decided to find a less formal dining experience and discovered Ristorante Chez Mario on Tripadvisor which had excellent reviews. It was up in the hills not far from the town centre. Rang and booked a table. We arrived at 7.0pm - the only customers there and you think "Oh dear have we made the right choice?" We needn't have worried because by 7.15pm the place was heaving with locals which is always a good sign! It was a beautiful summers evening so we opted for an outside table and we had the most delicious food and excellent service from Mario (Mario personally gave us first rate service over and above the call of duty) and his team.

Nothing can beet this site, right at the lakefront. Tucked away from the busy street. The Pizza is yummy and we loved their mixed fried fish - both from the lake and from the sea. The staff ist friendly and takes the order in Italian, English or German. The kids menu was our daughters favorite.Thank you for your gentle review. See you

Probably the most authentic place we visited on our trip and well worth it. Fantastic homecooked food, I particularly recommend any of the pasta and desserts! The staff were very friendly, the service great and the chef even makes an appearance. Would definitely recommend

We were very excited about eating at this restaurant especially after reading all the reviews. However we really do not think it was worth the trip into the hills. Tables are set out on a very uninspiring courtyard it felt like you were eating in someoneâs garden. Service was excellent but the food was average and disappointing. We ordered the cheeseballs anchor gnocchi to start. The cheeseballs were on a bed of salad that was inedible but the cheese balls were good. The good gnocchi was okay but nothing special. Full names we ordered the beef kebab because so many people had said it was good and we also ordered the chicken Milanese. The chicken was dry and so very average. I have had better so many times before it was served with chips. The beef kebab was nothing to write home about in fact we were so disappointed. Deserts were good but not special. I have had better tiramisu in England. We had to get a taxi from the town Iâm very surprised anyone manage to walk up there as it was quite a journey maybe there was a quicker route but we could not see it. It was an expensive meal for what it was and I certainly wouldnât rush to go back. I just feel I shouldnât have read the reviews because perhaps I was expecting something special and this restaurant is not special.

Once again my large group got to experience a truly superb dinner at Il Caminetto.Providing round trip transfer from out hotel in Varenna and then offering up anabundance of food, wine, and conversation. Moreno and Rossella are the consumatehosts! It was a very memorable evening for everyone. If you are visiting Lake Como youshould definitely come here for dinner and also the cooking class. The icing on the cake is that Il Caminetto is a great value.
