Ristorante La Fagurida — Restaurant in Tremezzina

Ambience: very relax and beautiful with lake view

Service: Average speed, friendly, but the waiter intentionally confuse us to let us think the side dish is coming with roasted rabit, then they charge euro 6 extra for the side dish in the bill. He should not ask "for the side dish of roast rabit, do u wanna potatoes or any other ?" Je should mentioned " do u need extra side dish to pair with the main dish ? "

Price: a bit high

Food: Polenta with cheese is very delicious, cheese quantity is more than polenta (very cheesey) and their polenta itself is very flavorful which is different than general restaurant. Roast rabit is a bit salty but the meat is fresh, flavorful and juicy. Tagliata beef quality is not good, chewy! Tiramisu is very delicious, but it is a bit dry, with more cream will be perfect.

I wanna give 4 stars because of the waiter intentionally confused us to let us order extra side dish grillee vegetables costs euro 6.0 He should be more honest and we will decide to order it or not. Don't...

The view from this restaurant is truly spectacular. It is quite mesmerising to look down on lake como surrounded by these rolling hills and seeing how beautifully every building has been built on such steep slopes.

Our waitor was fantastic too. He was very helpful in explaining the menu to us and even teaching us some Italian!

Unfortunately we were left a little disappointed with the food, especially since we had read such great reviews online about this place. We came here in September, the perfect time for Italian tomatoes but felt that both our caprese salad and out bruscetta could have done with some better tomatoes. The mozzarella was delicious!

My rabbit ragu was quite dry. I understand that this is the texture of rabbit since it is quite a lean meat, however, this specific pasta was particularly lacking in my opinion.

The fish was delicious too but we felt that the salad could have done with a little more dressing. The grilled vegetables were great.

We reserved a table outdoors and were assured space was available. On arrival, no one greeted us; we had to find someone ourselves. A man led us downstairs—everything was full. Upstairs, the same story. We were told to wait. Nothing happened.

When we asked again, the tale changed: we must wait until others had finished dining. Then the owner appeared—not to apologise, nor to offer even a glass of water, but to argue we had never requested an outdoor table. Astonishing. A disgrace. Hospitality was nowhere to be found.

Reservations go astray—it happens. But the very least one expects is courtesy, a smile, some attempt at a solution. Instead, we were met with denial and blame. The height of rudeness. A complete absence of hospitality.

We left and were warmly welcomed at the restaurant next door, where we enjoyed an excellent lunch.

How very sad that an establishment open since 1974 should have so utterly lost sight of what hospitality and...
