Posto molto piccolo ma accogliente e curato. Proprietario e cameriere molto attenti all' esigenze del cliente. Cibo leggero, buonissimo, e piatti ben presentati. Da ritornarci.

Pranzo in famiglia assolutamente perfetto! I piatti ben curati,cucinati benissimo. Il pesce ottimo,dagli antipasti alla grigliata. Prezzo assolutamente in linea con i prodotti proposti. A fare la differenza è sicuramente l'attenzione ai particolari,dall'aperitivo offerto dalla casa ai biscottini col caffè ai vari tipi di pane,tutti sfiziosissimi. Non è molto visibile dalla strada ma una volta conosciuto si fa pubblicità col passaparola. Bravi!

Ottimo , piccolo e gestito benissimo , qualità delle prepazioni e servizio contribuiscono a creare una bellissima esperienza , per noi , da oro , un punto di riferimento a Como

Andiamo ormai da diversi anni e nelle varie occasioni abbiamo invitato diversi amici che a loro volta lo hanno adottato come ristorante preferito. Menù sia di terra che di mare con offerta sia di piatti piu classici xhe piu creativi e fuori menù in base alla stagione. Tutto è sempre squisito e curato. L'accoglienza e la cortesia non mancano mai. Per noi davvero una certezza.

It's a small restaurant serving very fresh seafood, lightly seasoned to emphasize the natural sweetness of the ingredients I love it

Amazing hidden gem. Beautiful food presentation & taste. We didn't have a reservation but rang the doorbell & got lucky to be seated by chef Marco and his team. Oh, and there's AC!

We stumbled upon this little gem when visiting Como After ringing the doorbell we were given a great welcome even though we had no reservation. The food was unbelievable one of the best dinning experience we have had - First class food - wine & service. Very small and you would not want to stumble out of the door after a bottle of wine (its right on the road!) Tarte Tatin is my husband’s favorite and this one was one of the best he has ever had - anywhere in the world ! It’s small and cosy though I personally think the decor could be warmer. We will definitely be back for the food.

We were unable to get a reservation but rang the doorbell and they fit us in. It was exceptionally good. We shared the scallop appetizer and they served it on 2 plates presented beautifully. The risotto was great as was the stuffed pasta. So worth it.

A beautiful small restaurant with only few tables, delicious food and a good selection of wine. The entrance is hard to recognize as it is very close to the street. I guess that’s the reason why you need to ring the bell before you enter. Our waiter was very nice and helped in the selection of the courses. When the restaurant filled up, we had to be a little more patient but this is anyway a place to spend several hours to enjoy dinner and a good glass of wine. Due to the size a reservation is highly recommended!

We walked in without a reservation, owner chef welcomed us. Service was excellent, waiter aided our menu choices. A very memorable meal for us, extraordinary pasta dishes, beautiful desserts. A wonderful dinner experience, thank you!

Vanessa Ibbett

One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time! Every course we had was absolutely delicious and the seafood was cooked to perfection. This is a hidden gem, it has been the highlight of our trip!

Kali George

Amazing food and service. If you want top notch pasta and seafood, this is the place to go. It’s a little off of the beaten path, but well worth it! We went there for lunch and contemplated going back for dinner it was so good.

Easily one of the best restaurants I have ever had in Italy. Everything is perfect. Food is delicious and service is impeccable. Thank you

SN Huang

A fantastic dinner. We were told by the concierge that it’s impossible to get a table here without booking. But we decided to try our luck. We were so happy to be given a table! And the food did not disappoint at all. We are foodies and we totally enjoy the food!! The seafood were grilled and deep fried to perfection. My small boy’s beef steak and hubby’s tagliatelle with rabbit ragout were fantastic too. Vibes were great and staff super friendly :) really great evening here. Thank you Quatar Pass!!

Hidden gem of Como. Delicious seafood. Be aware of limoncello, it's so good

Jennifer Walrath

Best meal that we had in Italy from top to bottom, and that’s saying something. The artichoke risotto with beef carpaccio was delectable, and the lamb chops were life changing. Seriously - I have had some good lamb and they were an impressive, pistachio encrusted delight. Then the dessert. The soufflé blew my mind - so rich and light. Highly recommend for a worthwhile experience. Not cheap, but good value for the quality of food and wine.

Do not eat at this extraordinary restaurant. Walk on past its barely perceptible door. Shun the temptress Sara, with her amazing grigliata di pesce and her frizzante, Friuli Sauvignon and lemon vodka sorbet. Everyman, this place is not for you. Its 22 covers are taken by laughing Faustian devils who probably went to school with Sara, and know things about her that only the most fiendish gastronomical attentions will assuage. Nothing else can explain how food as good as this can be had at such a reasonable price. When the man at the next table asks for a malt whisky to end his meal, how can Sara slosh a quarter bottle of Lagavulin into his tumbler? Quite a bit of it was left when he had gone, but that might have been a wink she gave me, as she cleared his empty glass.

Simply one of the best restaurants in northern Italy, with fresh, imaginative seafood dishes, impeccable presentation and engaging, dedicated owners orchestrating everything from kitchen to table. Always an excellent, rewarding experience.

We stopped in for a late night meal because it was close to our Como hotel and we were hungry after a long day of traveling. We both loved this place! I had my first Negroni and Bresaola Panini both …

Carino. Composto. Buona cena e buone portate di pesce. Servizio top e cortese.

Non sarei mai entrato...ho visto le recensioni su tripadvisor e....wow. Piccolo ristorante con circa 6 tavoli, non di più. Ambiente, tavola e dettagli curati. Anche il bagno molto pulito e ben arredato. I piatti erano buoni e avevano un buon sapore. Tutto molto artigianale e fresco. Consigliata ls prenotazione.

Un gioiellino di posto, personale molto cordiale e cibo buonissimo. Un ristorante piccolino e con pochi coperti in una zona nascosta ( non troppo suggestiva) ma che lo rende un posticino di nicchia. Lo chef ha molta cura delle materie che usa riuscendo ad esaltare i sapori

It's so nearly 5 starts all round, but the service is overly stuffy, the restaurant is so white I wanted to put sunglasses on, entrance is via a doorbell all very pretentious. I was told at 7.30 I must eat immediately and not book for 30 mins later, why? The place was almost empty for my whole visit? The meal was good but maybe not as good as it could have been, ravioli with an egg yolk I expected to be runny, but no. The small lobsters in Catalan sauce tasted too much of celery. I was very aware that the only other diners where very favoured, they where visited by the chef, they where offered free drinks after the meal, I was not, they where Italian and I am not?? But I spend months a year in Italy and I understand enough...... €80 bill for one, I'd have been happier at €65 but I paid and left, as I type this I'm walking into town for a very pleasant final evening in Italy drink. Lastly please please sort the music out, it continually cuts out and returns, by the end of my visit I wanted to throw the speaker out of the window, my suggestion is wire it to the network, don't rely on WiFi.

Truly great food in a nice location near the Lake. The restaurant itself (one room!) is not particularly classy, and could really improve with a couple of changes. But what matter is food, and food was great!!

Locale molto piccolo ma tenuto bene. Ho mangiato come aperitivo una tartare di tonno e salmone eccellente. Come primo delle linguine cacio e pepe con gamberi che non mi hanno entusuasmato nonostante la.cottura della pasta sia stata ottima. Memorabile la grigliata mista di pesce e gamberi. Alcune pecche evidenziate: sono contento che vengano esposti in bella vista attestati di formazione anche in merito alla salute e sicurezza sul lavoro...ma i bimbi in cucina evitiamoli. Tovagliato..... non di mio gusto. Un simil raso... non bello. Apprezzato molto il cameriere estremamente.cordiale, signorile e tempestivo. Conto accettabile.

Nice environment! The cooked seafood has very nice taste, but raw seafood platter was not placed on ice and is not fresh enough. Also, the €8 pp coperto charge seems higher than average. Overall, a good restaurant with nice food, worth trying out for authentic Italian seafood cuisine!

Purtroppo c’è un mix di sapori che non si sposano bene, livello del crudo Basso rispetto al costo gli scampi sono piccolissimi, conto alto

Have been confused by how good the reviews have been, it was ok, and disappointing in parts. All the good parts: excellent, polite service. Wine was great. Ordered the beef tartare with vinaigrette, but either they forgot to put in the vinaigrette or it was imperceptible, so the beef was bland and tasteless. My wife ordered the lamb chops, and it was cooked perfectly. But they were tiny, and there were 4 pieces, with little on the side. My wife is not a big eater, but she was still unsatisfied by the portions. I ordered the fried fish with mixed vegetables. There was no fish. I mean zero fish. There was fried squid, and fried prawns on my plate. However they were cooked very well and tasted great. As for the mixed vegetables? There was fried zucchini, but no other vegetables. (It also was cooked very well, the batter was great). Maybe there was something lost in translation between the English menu and the Italian one? All in all, I feel like we got tricked somehow, maybe they don't care for tourists and treat locals differently? Or maybe it changed hands more recently? Not sure. But I don't understand how we got such a different experience with others here, which maybe it means different customers are treated differently. I hope we were wrong.

Our Resort conceirge recommended this place. We got there right around the time they open (730pm) and we were denied entry. The chef, server and one more employee were standing outside the restaurant waiting for customers and when we got close to the place, they started waving us away and telling us that they were full. There was nobody in the whole place. Do I consider this as discrimination? In todays world to deny someone entry into a restaurant, one can only imagine what the reason is. Utterly disgusting experience to be denied entry into a place based on your skin color and yes we are in 2023.
