Wonderful restaurant off the beaten path way up high in the mountains, but was definitely worth the trek up. Between the two of us, we ate two dishes made with local fish specialities (I will let Umberto tell you the names of it), and they were amazing with great synergy. The service and ambience were top notch.

We had the best food in this restaurant in the region. The fish was amazing, the vegetables perfect and the polenta....I have to come back once for that. Plus the service was great as well. It's worth leaving the bad tourist places and going up to the hill for this restaurant.

Great trattoria in the beautiful and quaint village of Loveno, above Menaggio. The staff are absolutely lovely, very welcoming and attentive and have a deep knowledge about the food they serve. A lot of the local dishes on offer, such as the Taròz and Pizzocheri are specific to this region and made on the premises from local produce. We started the meal with the Taròz which tasted amazing, together with a fish platter which included fish from both Lake Como and Lake Maggiore, followed by a Tagliata di Manzo with grain mustard and rocket with a balsamic vinegar glaze, all beautifully presented. The beef was cooked to perfection and just melted in the mouth! Dessert was a beautiful homemade Tiramisù which finished the meal off perfectly! Cannot believe we've been coming to the area for the last seven years and have only just discovered this gem but so glad we did! Highly recommended if you want something a bit different from what other local restaurants offer. Can't wait to return again!

The only place you should eat in Menaggio! Amazing dishes and waiters! Couldn’t have asked for a better evening all round! Would definitely go back and recommend to friends. Best in Lake Como!

Delicious meal with a perfect service. Our waiter was excellent in helping us select some local dishes - the Pizzoccheri and the busecca(I think it was called) were amazing. If you love hearty family italian food I reccomend you eat here. The staff were understandably passionate about the food!

Warm welcoming, simple but delicious food made from local ingredients, cozy atmosphere that what you expect from real italian trattoria and all of that you can find here at Trattoria La Vecchia Magnolia. As a starter we had fried cheese balls with a salad, also we ordered local fish, grill vegetables and cheese polenta. Everything tasted just great. I wish we could have more time here in Como so we could visit this place few more times.

Had a fantastic lunch at this trattoria a little off the beaten path. Service was friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. Started with antipasto of potatoes, cheese, onions, beans and butter (quite rich) and the pennata pasta with shrimp, garlic,tomatoes and mushrooms

The food is not good here, I am not sure why it is so highly ranked. Do not bother putting this in your list to visit, much better spots in town.

Not a bad little restaurant. Quite a walk up a very steep hill which we thought would get us out of the tourist traps on the shoreline. Not so, very "samey" menu and only a couple of euros cheaper. TBH, bit disappointed in the "fabled Italian cuisine", not our experience at all, mostly pizza and pasta which we get at every city and town in the UK. Had some nice local wines there but the building and surroundings were nothing special.

The food didn’t taste of Italy. It was like food you buy in the supermarket and warm in the microwave. The staff didn’t show us much attention.
