I had dinner here every single night and while staying during my honeymoon in Lake Como in August during peak tourist season.
This restaurant is located inside the hotel Relais Villa Vitoria and is available for guests but is also open to the public.
We met Chef Alessandro during our stay and he was extremely curtious, attentive and lovely to talk to! I highly recommend visiting his restaurant. He clearly cares about his guests and tries his best to make sure they have a great meal.
The service was amazing, waiters were very attentive and it was easy to get a reservation in person. The restaurant was never too busy during weekdays and it was easy to get a reservation or walk-in table during the busiest time of year.

The facts speak for themselves: not only do they lack culinary skills, but they are also extremely rude and lack even the most basic knowledge of good service and wines,...

The dishes were a repetition of the same ingredients like the berry sauce or the grilled potatoes. We were not expecting so poor gastronomic level in such a place and with these prices. Don’t let the OK presentation fool you, the taste is way below average. Probably the worst place we visited in Italy. Do not recommend.
Edit: You should probably know that taste is way more important than presentation. Even dog food can be...
