Hotel Argegno Ristorante

Reviewed By vincentnyk

Lovely restaurant, with simple deco and fine dining concept in a casual setting. Waiters were friendly and service was great. Ordered their soup of the day, minestrone which was really delicious with natural fresh ingredients. T-bone steak was juicy and cooked perfectly with red center. Seafood spaghetti was nice as well, fresh. Tiramisu was not to my liking as it has too much cream, but still tasted above average. Overall very good experience and would definitely recommend if you are traveling around Lake Como. Can take a stroll around the beautiful small town Argegno after lunch which was perfect.

Made enquires last year to hold my husband’s birthday here with 19 guests and Giulia could not be more helpful. She forwarded menus to chose from and kept me posted when the restaurant closed for refurbishment.We arrived by boat to be amazed by this beautiful restaurant set on the water. From the moment we arrived and were greeted by Giulia to the time we left, we were made to feel special . The food was outstanding ,as was the service and the view. I cannot thank you all enough for such a wonderful night. We will be talking about it for a long time to come . Again another huge thank you to Giulia for your help with everything.

Ristorante Il Sorriso

Reviewed By yecats59

Had an absolutely lovely dinner at Il Sorriso. Service and staff were excellent and very welcoming. Many local Lombard dishes on the menu. Comfortable and lovely dining room (we ate upstairs). The warm seafood salad was excellent as were the pasta parcels filled with veal. My wife loved the local fish served grilled with almonds. Great wines and very affordable. Excellent value.

This was supposed to be our “special” night out in Argegno. It was more like Fawlty Towers. Staff were pretentious and condescending from the moment we arrived. One of our party is Italian and speaks the language well, but it wasn’t good enough for the waiter who insisted we speak English. We were a party of four who eat out at a huge variety of restaurants at home in Australia and across the world. The view here is amazing, but no better than from the terrace of our accommodation, so that was not the reason for selecting this restaurant. We expected the food to be at least palatable but sadly it wasn’t. A risotto dish only available for two and supposedly featuring zucchini flowers had not hint of any blossoms anywhere and came to the table as two seperate serves so why it was only available for two is mystifying. The rice was extremely undercooked and not at all the creamy texture expected from a well cooked risotto. Pasta entree of ravioli were tough and flavourless. Mains of steak - tough and over cooked, tempura fish full of bones and scales, pan fried lake fish over cooked and underwhelming. The chicken dish was acceptable, moist and tender - the only decent food served during the whole meal. When we went to pay the bill by credit card we were not able to pay at the table but were bluntly and loudly told we would have to go to the reception area of the hotel to finalise the account. Extremely lacklustre experience when there are so many better, friendlier and far cheaper dining options in Argegno. This restaurant is certainly not trading on repeat business. Overpriced and best avoided.

Bar Ristorante Barchetta

Reviewed By kyisoutoftheoffice

Very enjoyable evening for Dinner sitting on the terrace. Ezu our waiter was very accommodating and handled our large table with ease. He offered suggestions on food preparation and wine and we were very pleased with his service. While we stayed fairly conservative with our food selections, I did have the rabbit and found it a hearty and well prepared dish. All other pastas, salads, wine, and appitizers were quite good. I would definitely dine here again.

This was a spectacular meal in a charming, friendly restaurant. The chef speaks English very well and she was delightful in helping us make our selections. She has a very sweet helper, maybe her mother?, who took wonderful care of us during our meal. She even offer to take our picture and showed us the garden on the way out. Of course, the most outstanding part of our visit was the food. Absolutely fabulous food. See my pics for a sampling of what you can expect. I wish we lived near this restaurant because it would easily become our favorite place.grazie da tutto lo staffe dallo Chef Bruna

Reviewed By SwissPinkPanther

My friend and I stopped in one evening while in Argegno for just a desert and coffee having been out that day touring Bellagio and already having a feast of a lunch. We were drawn into La Piazzeta by a gentleman who we observed throughout the hour we were there greeting visitors walking by hoping to use his charm to lure them into the establishment. We asked before hand if it was OK to just have a coffee and desert since we already had a large lunch and we were told that it would be fine. There were only a few tables occupied when we arrived. We were promptly seated outside hoping to people watch, but the large planters surrounding the outdoor seating area blocked the view of the small plaza. We proceeded to order a cuppachino, coffee americano, water and two tiramisu. PLEASE NOTE - this review is less about the quality of food served then it is about the value of what you get and their business practices. The rating of the tiramisu was a toss up...one person thought it OK the other person thought it tasted like it was a few days old. The real shocker came when the bill arrived.... 27 Euros !!! For so little food and drink I can only imagine what one would be paying for dinner !!! You better bring 100s of Euros if you don’t want to end up washing dishes to pay off your debt. How can one justify a service charge of 6 Euros for two people to just sit down for basically a cup of coffee ??? Better to drive down to Como and sit out on the glorious roof top of the Como Hilton and enjoy the same, but better quality deserts , for less money along with AMAZING music and views.... and you can charge your bill !!!That’s right, adding insult to injury...we were informed that we could not charge the bill to our credit card because ..” the machine was broken” ..... please.... how old a line is this for establishments to avoid paying the small credit card fee. Why not just post a sign in front of your restaurant clearly saying.... CASH ONLY ? That way guests can decide whether to eat there BEFORE sitting down.Lastly.... I had to laugh when the bill arrived . Along with the bill there was a printed card in Italian ...which I was unable to translate but it had TripAdvisor in bold letters.....I’m assuming it was a card encouraging guests to submit reviews ...the owner clearly understood the power of Trip Advisor in guiding customers in their dining decision. All I can say is.... look elsewhere if you seek quality dining with value pricing and service. Remember, reviews from customers who enter seeking just a coffee and desert should matter just as much as customers coming in for a three course meal.
