La Tua Osteria — Restaurant in Como

Walking in LTO was like walking into my grandma’s house. Table cloth draped over square tables felt so familiar to me. We were greeted with big hearty smiles that would melt your heart.

We started with wine: me white, my cousin red. She said it was the best wine she’s ever had and that’s saying a lot because she lives in wine country in the US.

We gleefully worked our way through the menu devouring the freshly baked brown, white, and olive filled rustic breads. Salads weren’t on the menu but our waitress eagerly request them on our behalf from the chef; and like magic we were severed fresh greens with the sweatiest tomatoes.

I ordered the lasagna; my cousin the tortellini. Mmm. Ahh. Mmm is the only way I can describe my food. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. The lasagna was so good. I made it a point to eat slowly to savory each bite.

Our meals ended with me ordering the creamiest crème brûlée and my cousin the tiramisu. The presentation of the dessert was impressive and my cousin waist no time wolfing down the...

BEST MEAL WE HAD IN ITALY!!!! Where to even begin?? We were blown away by the detailed flavor in every dish. We started with the bread which we LOVED (see the videos as my son ate like 3 baskets himself) - every time we got a new basket there was a different flavor. Amazing.

This dish ruined American Food forever for us. It was so perfect. Big Thanks to Marco the chef/waiter and the staff. Amazing hospitality in a great location. Felt like eating at a family members...

Very solid, but nothing to write home about. The carpaccio and steak were solid, but the steak didn’t have enough salt and the carpaccio was missing something (even just some pepper). The potatoes with the steak were excellent. By report at my table, the pappardelle was quite good but nothing mind blowing. The pesto/asparagus lasagna was by report a bit weird, the flavors just didn’t work together that well. The house wine was a bit acidic/sour. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also a bit stuffy even though it’s not that high end/fussy of a restaurant. The menu was a bit small, the portions were a bit small, but the bill was at least fairly cheap. It has potential, but everything just needs a...
