We were in Como in February, during “Low Season” and some of the places we’d planned to eat at were closed. One night we stopped to look at the menu. It’s the restaurant in our hotel and seemingly in a peak touristy spot, so we were apprehensive, but we were cold and tired from a full day walking and exploring. We were so glad we did! I have to eat gluten free, but they were very understanding and told me all of the options they could offer. In the end we both ordered the shrimp risotto. While we waited they brought some bread, oil, and balsamic for my son. A few moments later they brought out a little gluten free ciabatta for me, so I wasn’t completely left out. Ismael was our server and he was wonderful! Beyond the food recommendation he also made some great wine suggestions, letting us try a bit to decide. He was very fun and friendly and they were so good with the service. But the risotto. OMG! It was luscious! The creamy texture, subtle lemon, and shrimp were perfect. It was seasoned well and just heavenly. So much so that we returned again and ordered the same thing before leaving town. Highly...
Read moreThis was the most horrible experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant, DO NOT EAT HERE. Me and my mom sat down for a drink and some pizzas , but we had to hurry up because we were on a time limit and the pizzas weren’t going to make it out on time. Before they brought them out i asked the waiter to cancel the pizzas and let me only pay for the drinks we had , he said he did not speak English, which was a lie because he later understood what i meant and brought them to the table anyway. As soon as they brought them i asked them to take them away because there was no time and they took them away.

When i refused they threatened to call the police multiple times , “because I’m black” . In all they made me pay for the whole meal or i woulda went to jail . Never go here ! THEIR FOOD IS MEDIOCRE AND NOT...
Read moreGood afternoon . We tourists arrived at Lago di Como. A beautiful city, plenty of shops, a world-renowned place. There was a pregnant woman with us. Toilet request (toallett). It is near the Imbarcadero restaurant. She came in and asked for a bathroom. in a courteous and polite manner. Refused to let her in. Although a day ago he was at his restaurant. We were also disappointed with the food. It has nothing to do with Italian food at all. Service was good, not bad. . But he is shocked that he refused to let the woman in, even though there is a law in Italy that it is forbidden to refuse a customer to enter the bathroom, this is a law. It has nothing to do with the law in terms of courtesy and politeness. . No manners, no culture. Shame and destruction, failure. Not suitable at all. I do not recommend entering this...
