Un bellissimo posto di nicchia dove si possono mangiare dei buonissimi piatti tipici! Ottimo posto, ottima accoglienza e ottimo cibo!

È stata una piacevole sorpresa pranzare in questa osteria. Ero alla ricerca di un posto dove pranzare con i miei amici a Como e ci siamo ritrovati a degustare dei piatti magnifici del posto con i veri sapori del luogo e dagli ingredienti di ottima qualità . Siamo stati accolti con molta gentilezza da Simone... Era come essere a casa. Osvaldo, lo chef, gentilissimo e simpaticissimo passava sempre da noi per farci assaggiare qualche prelibatezza e per qualche piacevole chiacchierata. La sala è piccola ed accogliente, ma stanno ristrutturando un'altra accanto dove ci siamo accomodati . Insomma, ci siamo trovati benissimo. La consiglio assolutamente per chi vuole assaporare sapori veri del luogo con materie prime eccellenti.

Abbiamo scoperto questo locale per caso, cercando online un posto dove poter mangiare la polenta uncia senza dove andare in montagna. Locale piccolo ma accogliente. Conviene prenotare per assicurarsi il posto. Ambiente famigliare. Arredamento rustico molto originale. Sembra di fare un salto indietro nel tempo: a noi è piaciuto molto. Ottima cucina. Personale cordiale, gentile e attento alla soddisfazione del cliente. Abbiamo molto apprezzato il cuoco che è venuto personalmente a chiederci se andava tutto bene e ci ha consigliato sui piatti del giorno. Il cibo viene preparato al momento. Prezzi nella media, considerato anche che è tutto preparato al momento e con ingredienti di qualità. Ci torneremo sicuramente!

Ho cenato in questo ristorante e sono rimasto davvero molto soddisfatta.Tutto era buonissimo, dai piatti principali fino al dessert. Si percepisce la qualità degli ingredienti e la cura nella preparazione di ogni portata. L’ambiente è tranquillo e accogliente, perfetto per una serata rilassante in compagnia o anche per una cena romantica. Il servizio è stato attento e cordiale, sempre disponibile ma mai invadente. Un’esperienza davvero perfetta sotto ogni punto di vista. Tornerò sicuramente e lo consiglio vivamente a chi cerca buon cibo e un’atmosfera piacevole. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tutto perfetto! Sono stato qui con mia figlia un venerdì a pranzo. Posto accogliente e caratteristico. Cibo delizioso e disponibilità dello chef ad una richiesta particolare. Personale gentilissimo. Merita assolutamente una seconda uscita con mia moglie. Voto 10!!

TUTTO OTTIMO ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Siamo stati all’Osteria Tavernetta in famiglia ed è stata un’esperienza davvero eccellente dall’inizio alla fine. Appena seduti ci hanno coccolato con degli assaggini di benvenuto: mortadella al tartufo, formaggio e diverse tipologie di salsette da gustare con pane caldo, tutto di qualità altissima. Abbiamo poi proseguito con polenta e arrosticini mantecati al vino, polenta concia e dei pizzoccheri semplicemente straordinari: sapori autentici, porzioni generose e grande attenzione alla materia prima. Per chiudere, un tiramisù fatto in casa squisito, perfetto finale di una cena impeccabile. Il personale è gentile, preparato e molto professionale, i prezzi sono più che onesti e la location è calda e accogliente, perfetta per una serata in compagnia. Consigliatissimo prenotate, perché merita davvero!

Ambiente molto caratteristico molto bello. Si mangia da dio. Gli antipasti sono squisiti i pizzoccheri una favola. Il personale è molto cordiale. Il quoco molto simpatico. Consiglio di provare

This restaurant is just fantastic, great food simple atmosphere, authenticity and warm welcome from the host Osvaldo. He made this entire meal a real experience with true italian cuisine and delicious fresh products. Going above and beyond to give a unique taste of this incredible region. I had to go back twice in the same week. Thank you so much !

Rachel Szarka

Really lovely staff, cozy atmosphere, and a delicious meal. Able to accommodate vegetarians with several options (ask the server if menu unclear). Also was able to make an off-menu pizza as an extra effort of hospitality. Lovely community-run place where I felt good about spending money. Would return again and again.

Had the best time at this restaurant. Was looking for authentic Italian and this place did not disappoint!! The chef was amazing. Food was brilliant. We barely looked at the menu as he explained to us the best dishes and we just trusted him. Thank god we did because they were unbelievable. Thank you guys for such a good night. We will be back. From your Australian friends.

The moment you step inside, you’re greeted with warmth that instantly sets the tone. They take care of you as if you were family. Every dish is homemade and full of soul. I was genuinely left without words. But the tiramisù… that dessert belongs in another galaxy. Absolutely unforgettable.

Cynthia Jaramillo

An amazing food, service and ambiance! If you think you have try good food, yo haven’t visit this place. Authentic Italian food with great flavors! Oh, and if you ask for the steak (Fiorentina di Montagna), ask for the side dish polenta uncia which was by far the best I have try, and believe me I have try many… Enjoy!!

Nishi S

An absolute GEM of a restaurant in Cernobbio!! The food is all homemade and tastes that way!! Most importantly it is fed to you with love, warmth, and kindness!! We felt like family as soon as we walked in!! Service is fantastic! The venison lasagna was incredible! This meal will leave you feeling happy! Thank you for making us feel so welcome! ❤️

La Tavernetta - chef’s kiss A genuine Italian dinner from the Lombardy region where the chef creates an atmosphere of familial warmth and camaraderie. The culinary experience was exceptional, with the steak’s tenderness allowing it to be effortlessly sliced with a butter knife. The Ossobuco accompanied by risotto, gnocchi, a meat platter, and focaccia bread, was of outstanding quality and freshness. To conclude the evening, lemoncello and cookies provided the perfect sweet ending. The chef Osvaldo and his beautiful, talented daughter Noemi engaged in a thoughtful conversation about life in Lake Como, adding a personal touch to the evening. The chef’s exceptional talent and unwavering passion for the quality of his food are evident. He diligently collaborates with local cheese and meat producers in the mountains to procure the finest cheeses and meats from the region, ensuring a culinary experience that will tantalize your taste buds. Thank you, Chef Osvaldo and Noemi for this memorable evening. I miei ringraziamenti vanno a tutti i membri dello staff. Grazie!!

A truly local place with fresh ingredients prepared from scratch. Inside is very quaint and felt very homey. The chef came out to help us decide what to order, including showing us the fish before he prepared it as we were not sure what it would be, not being from the area. The Osso buco was very flavorful and served with polenta. Fish was prepared with rice that tasted delicious with herbs and butter. Tiramisu like others have said was one of the best we've had, with a delicious taste of a fresh mascarpone. Great experience. Not far from the center of Como, parking across the street.

Dave Tilstone

Some of the most delicious and well prepared foods we had in Lake Como. The owner and chef is very talented with fresh ingredients and home made pastas. The service was also very good. Her father was very passionate about the home made salami and cheese he curates with local artisans as well as the vegetables and fruit he grows in the restaurants garden. Prices are very reasonable with a great wine list that pleases the wine connoisseur as well as the casual wine drinker. We didn’t have their specialty, the large t-bone steak however others raved about it. We will definitely go back!

Abigail Gardner

Quaint and beautiful spot. All the food was fantastic. Homemade pasta and the tomahawk was to die for. The wine recommendations were on point, best tiramisu we’ve had in Italy, and they hooked us up with complimentary limoncello and cookies. Absolutely can’t miss spot in Como.

Jennifer Rudman

This was hands down the best meal I've ever had! It was an added plus that the staff was so friendly and pleasant. I could not recommend this place more!

We are a couple from Lithuania. We were staying in Como and, after reading the reviews, we decided to walk to this place. We were surprised by the hospitality of the hosts – they immediately brought us homemade bread, salami, and cherry tomatoes to taste. The appetizer, the food, the flavors – everything was perfect. They always asked if everything was alright and if we needed anything. Unfortunately, we had to fly back the next day. We would have returned more than once, and we definitely will in the future.

No you aren’t seeing doubles. What you are seeing are two different meals back to back because this pasta was THAT good!! We stumbled upon this little cute restaurant that happened to be behind our hotel during a wedding weekend. We looked at some reviews and some pics and decided to go with a margherita pizza and the campofilone al tartufo. THIS pasta was amazing. Ahhhmazing! From the white truffle infused sauce and the special pasta used, everything in this dish is perfection. We’ve been to Italy numerous times and have to admit that this is up there…way up there. The pizza was also great and the charm, warmth and welcome of the family in this family-owned restaurant is just a topper. We truly loved this place and if we ever find ourselves in Como again, we will be back. Try the pasta…you’ll thank me.

Food was some of the best we had in Italy. Simple, fresh, local ingredients. Perch risotto was incredible. Felt like an authentic Italian meal that my Nonna would cook.

We found this place through goggle maps while driving down from Switzerland looking for a place to eat for dinner. We saw that it was so highly rated and decided to give it a try and it definitely did not disappoint! We initially ordered a pasta and a t-bone steak. Before our food arrived, we were served freshly made bread with salami. We were first served our pasta and it was one of the best pastas we’ve had in italy. We had the tagliatelle with fresh tomatoes and cheese. The fresh tomatoes and cheese blended so well together as a sauce making it rich, creamy and slightly sweet. The tagliatelle was fresh and handmade and cooked to perfection which was slightly chewy and al dante. This pasta dish blew our minds and decided that one was not enough and we decided to order another ravioli on recommendation by the staff. The ravioli had a unique filling with ham and figs which we had never had before. it was extremely flavourful with the ham with a slightly sweet and nutty taste by the figs. Next, our T-bone steak arrived which took awhile but the chef explained that it was because he had to slow cook it first and then sear it before serving it on a hot sizzling plate. The meat was cooked to perfection and was so fresh and tender. It was about 700 grams and was perfect for two people. Throughout the night the chef had also served us breads and tomatoes to go with our meal. We ended off our meal with a tiramisu which was nothing less than expected. Although on the pricier side, the high and fresh quality of the food along with the service makes it with the money paid. I will definitely be returning here just to eat at this restaurant again. We had also skipped lunch prior making this meal definitely worth the wait! We got to know from the owners that this was a family run business and that they had just recently opened and was still a rather new establishment. I am rooting for this restaurant and hope to come back again. Thank you to the staff and chefs at La Tavernetta for making our meal delicious and wholesome. Graze Mile!

This place was fantastic, lots of locally sourced ingredients and a local family feel inside the restaurant. I had the Risotto with Local Perch, and my Fiancé had Gluten Free spaghetti with Ragu. We had the in house made tiramisu and affogato for dessert, both were so delicious. So happy we found this place and highly recommend.

Niko Capo

From the moment we walked in, we were treated like family. The hospitality of the staff made the experience truly memorable. The chef personally came out to introduce the dishes and offer thoughtful recommendations, which made us feel so welcomed and appreciated. The food was outstanding — the pizza was some of the best we’ve ever had, and the truffle tomato pasta was rich, flavorful, and unforgettable. Their selection of wines perfectly complemented the meal, enhancing every bite. This is a true, traditional, and authentic Osteria — no gimmicks, just genuinely incredible food and heartfelt service. Highly recommend!

Frank Gasparovic

One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. If you are in the area, you must come try this delicious food. The service is just as good, wonderful wait staff that takes their time, explains everything, and wants you to have a wonderful experience. Super local spot that delivered.

A Hidden Culinary Gem in San Bartolomeo – Unforgettable Italian Dining We had the most authentic Italian dining experience near Lake Como, tucked away in the peaceful town of San Bartolomeo. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like family — the warmth of the staff and the passion of the chef made every moment feel special. The food was truly out of this world. We started with a risotto with fresh perch fish, a local specialty that was delicate, flavorful, and unforgettable. We also tried the risotto with veal, which was rich, perfectly cooked, and comforting in the best way. The homemade pasta with truffle sauce was pure luxury — earthy, aromatic, and beautifully balanced. And then came the showstopper: a Texas-sized T-bone steak that melted in my mouth. Perfectly seasoned, expertly grilled, and incredibly tender — it was one of the best steaks I’ve ever had, anywhere. From start to finish, this was a meal made with love, tradition, and serious culinary skill. If you’re near Lake Como and want a true taste of Italy — both in flavor and hospitality — make your way to this hidden gem in San Bartolomeo. It was an experience we’ll never forget.

Ambiente piacevole con spunti interessanti tra foto, quadri e arredamento non comune. Il menù propone tutto quello che serve tra piatti tipici locali sia di lago che di terra, i gusti sono fuori discussione e presentati con orgoglio dal cuoco con le spiegazioni del caso. Scelta dei vini valida conferma un quadro positivo. Posteggio frontale e svincolo per autostrade molto comodo per viabilità chiudono globalmente le quattro stelle.

Sono stato in un ristorante sul lago di Como e ho mangiato davvero bene. L’antipasto di salumi era di qualità, con prodotti freschi e ben selezionati. Ottimo il secondo di carne molto tenera, saporita e una polenta cremosa che completava perfettamente il piatto. Ambiente rustico, servizio gentile e atmosfera piacevole. Una sosta che merita davvero.

La sala entrando è molto carina. La sala secondaria è raffazzonata e piena di elementi messi a caso. Pizzoccheri buoni, tagliatelle al cervo sufficienti. Vino buono, dolci scarsi. Carina l'idea di servire la bruschetta di benvenuto. Pulizia non eccelsa. Attese troppo lunghe, prezzo elevato.
