Locanda Dei Giurati — Restaurant in Como

Avoid like the literal plague, unless you have some strange compulsion to punish yourself.

Delusions of grandeur on show with bang average food, served without enthusiasm by waiting staff who must be looking forward to having something better to do later.

Everything we ate, and that I could see other people eating was... weird. Half-baked ideas without any cohesion whatsoever.

The food was okay, but not mind-blowing. The cnocco fritto were quite good, but my husband was not a fan of the lamb skewers nor the salad he chose as a side. Tagliata di Milanese was better than the skewers because of the sauces that provided flavor. The tiramisu was just okay and a bit hard to eat due to the hard chocolate on top.
