Da Giacomo al Lago — Restaurant in Tremezzina

Great view, great pastas, overpriced wine and fish. Good service. Worth a stop at this gorgeous hotel and restaurant. Suggest a drink vs a meal. But if you are having dinner go for the pastas and the menu seafood. Everything else done by weight is a ripoff. On the wines everything is overpriced. Stay away from the tourist trap priced Whispering Angel at 140 Euros. This is supermarket wine at connoisseur price. Some of the Italian wine options are still overpriced but better. The bar upstairs is dreadful. The piano man playing American selections, like Mandy and Purple Rain, while older lonely patrons sip small overpriced drinks. We tried to get him to play an Italian song…no luck. Worth a once in a lifetime stop and never again. This is a money extraction operation vs. an experience making place. Management: you will make more money being a bit more authentic vs this fake...

Although after us visitors came and without asking sat three at a small table by the water, which we wanted.

My friend and I lost the desire to eat and stayed only for the sake of our men, to have some drinks, since we...

Now the restaurant Giacomo Al Lago. We were seated quickly. But our menus took forever. They were serving and attending other tables but after 10 minutes I had to go back to the check in area and ask the lady who seated us , who was suppose to give us the menus. So eventually it came. As you see in my pictures. The other ladies were given a place to set their handbags. One arrived after me. Mine was on the floor. So the beginning service was not good. My son ordered from the kids meal and they brought him an adult meal we had to send back. Now the food was delicious. Well prepared. They brought our seafood selections to look at and approve before they cook it for us. I wished their service matched the cook’s efforts. I had a much better experience with service at a different...
