Beautiful location, nice food with sweet little extra's (bruscetta), good service

Bel ristorante situato a Valbrona. 10 minuti salendo da Onno. Ottima location con un vista suggestiva dall'alto sul lago di Como. Ambiente non molto grande, forse meglio così, ben arredato e informale, con tavolia anche all'aperto permette di godersi il pranzo/cena tranquillamente. Piatti tipici della zona. Ottimi i ravioli di lago. Consigliato

La location estiva è strepitosa, con una vista impareggiabile sul ramo lecchese del lago di Como. Servizio cortese, menu non troppo estivo (l'ispirazione è "alpina") ma comunque buona la qualità. Torneremo volentieri. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo grazie allo sconto The Fork.

Location con bella vista sul lago, cena prenotata con the fork, buoni gli antipasti che abbiamo scelto e buona la carne, direi che il menù ha un giusto rapporto qualità prezzo. Trovarsi in zona sarebbe l'ideale per una pausa pranzo.

Venuto qui con the fork al 50%, ambiente stupendo, servizio da rivedere, il cameriere sembrava avesse un palo nel c. . . ., cibo buono, cervo fantastico , il resto manca un po' di sale, ma si vede che il cuoco sa il suo mestiere. .anche a prezzo pieno ne sarebbe valsa la pena.

This was our first time trying the missultin, which was truly delicious, and the honey contrast was excellent. The potatoes were a bit tough; I would have preferred them softer on the inside. The trout was very tasty, and the pasta was plentiful. We dined inside, near the window with a spectacular view of the Lecco branch. The service was friendly and prompt. The atmosphere is rustic and familiar, in keeping with the traditional cuisine offered.

we were a group of three bikers, we were warmly welcomed by the owner who served us quality food and a good presentation. i would highlight the dessert, a fantastic tiramisu. i recommend it. The views from the restaurant are breathtaking.

Panorama superlativo sul lago, si vede Mandello dall'alto. Location bella e curata, un po' caro, 3,50 solo il coperto, mangiato bene ma non benissimo, diciamo che nel contesto ne vale la pena. Da migliorare il servizio troppo veloce ai tavoli. Parcheggio limitato, fate attenzione di sera, bisogna costeggiare a piedi per pochi metri la strada statale non illuminata.

Bella ambientazione e la vista sul ramo di Lecco del lago di Como di giorno o nelle serate estive deve essere top. Buono il cibo ma con qualche miglioria potrebbe guadagnare qualche punto, per i miei gusti. Senza volermi sostituire al cuoco, la "Carbonara di lago" era un pochino insipida, forse qualche pezzetto di missoltino avrebbe potuto alzare la sapidità del piatto e dare la croccantezza che mancava (al pari del guanciale in quelle tradizionali). Buone le lasagne al radicchio e taleggio. Il prezzo è un po' caro, ma lo sconto The Fork ha compensato.

A charming location, especially beautiful in the evening when the sun sets and the city lights come on. Parking is convenient if you arrive early; there isn't much parking on the street. As for the food, I see the effort, but something is missing; we weren't satisfied.

The restaurant isn't very clean: cobwebs on the chandeliers and table lamps, chair covers a bit dirty (perhaps due to the bad weather that came in through the open windows). Despite this, the food is really good. The prices are a bit high (depending on what you choose), but they're justified by the location. The view is truly breathtaking; it's a shame the terrace wasn't accessible due to the bad weather. The service was overall good: the dining room, on a Saturday evening, wasn't full, but there was only one waiter who also worked the cash register. There was occasionally a bit of confusion due to the single-person management, but everything went smoothly.

Ok

Non vale sicuramente il coperto di 4,50€, senza poi parlare delle ragnatele e i ragni in vari posti del locale che ciò fa già intendere la poco pulizia di’ quest’ultimo. No comment per quanto riguarda la torta che ci è stata presentata come sacher ma che non lo era ma era una torta al cioccolato e perciò mi sono rifiutato di pagare. Piatti discreti, formaggi molto buoni, funghi porcini buoni che ci ha presentato senza le castagne e ci ha fatto pagare appieno, polenta un po’ troppo liquida e vista mozzafiato sulle montagne, panorama merita tanto, locale tanto da migliorare e perciò non giustificabile un coperto così sopraelevato.

We ordered the “dinera romantica”. But unfortunately there was nothing romantica about it. There was loud 80’s house music playing. The owner was very kind, but the food was not what we expected. We expected authentic Italian food but it depressing. The risotto tasted like cooked rice without any spices. Please give this place with this amazing view a new management!

Shelley Doherty

Amazing view, however for an Italian restaurant they served sparkling red and do not serve beer! Food and service were mediocre and very over priced. Would recommend for a glass of prosecco but for anything else, head further down the mountain.

Siamo arrivati in questa location in una sera di settembre. Il posto è veramente bello, con vista lago. Peccato tutto il resto sia stato pessimo. Avevamo chiamato il giorno stesso per prenotare un tavolo per le 9:30 e non c’era stato alcun problema, peccato che appena arrivati subito il cameriere ha sbuffato facendoci capire che era troppo tardi, quando loro ci avevano dato quel orario preciso. Appena seduti è uscito il cuoco che guardandoci ha urlato una parolaccia e ci ha fatto capire di non essere ben voluti. Abbiamo ordinato un tagliere di salumi al costo di ben 18 €. Appena arrivato erano quattro pezzi dello stesso salame tagliati in maniera grossolana, alcune fette erano di 8 cm. Per non parlare dei primi, lasagne crude e pasta scotta. Arrivato il conto, mi sono spaventata, 93 € per una cena mediocre e un servizio che dire pessimo è poco. Inoltre vorrei dare un piccolo consiglio al cuoco: in cucina non si può entrare con la sigaretta accesa per norme igieniche! Posto totalmente sconsigliato.

Terribly experience, food was cold and not what it was supposed to be. If you’re a tourist stay away from this tourist trap!

Tim Brinkhof

Rarely leave negative reviews but this place requires a public service warning. If you are on vacation in Italy, do not dine here. A glass of wine to enjoy the gorgeous view is fine, but the food is bad - so bad we struggled to finish it. The pasta was cold and tasted like it came from a frozen packet from the supermarket, and the prices are rather expensive, even compared to other restaurants in the area. Too bad, as the location is really nice.

Oskar Sadowski

They didnt want to serve Us, the men who looked and smelled drunk told us that the chef is gone for break because there was not enough people.

Luca

View is great, however the price and quality of the food is ridiculous. Can‘t recommend it.

Jan

Bad food. Overcooked meat. Flavourless fish.

Arrived here at 1pm on a sunny Wednesday. Owner finally responded from a distance and shouted that he was not open today. Only went for the view, that not even he could spoil. Eat elsewhere, but left 1 star as his website stated it was open for lunch, every day except a Monday. Looking at other reviews, we were spared a disappointing and over priced meal.
