Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great food at a very reasonable price, fantastic views and wonderful staff! What else could you need? We found this place by chance driving from Magreglio through Bellagio, south down the lake to Nesso and then via Canova back to Magreglio. I would really recommend...this place for a lunch on the road. There were we and some locals at the place at the time of the visit which is always a good sign. The restaurant is family owned and at least one of the owners love and take care of cats coming there. Grazie molto! There was also a young kid there practicing doing a great job!More

While driving the bicycling course of the Tour of Lombardy preparing for a ride on which I did not want to get lost or run off the road on a tight switch back, we got hungry, passed Ristorante Sole and turned around because we both...just had a hunch. Wow! We're we ever rewarded! We've been to Italy a dozen or more times, and I cook Italian from scratch like my Nona taught me. However, this tagliatelle con porcini was the best pasta we've ever had anywhere!! And the veal...mmmmm! Oh! And the bread, which is baked on site, had a crunchy crust and a meaty inside. Clearly the only bread we've had in all of Italy that comes close to what we expect in France. I can't ever remember having had a better meal. Ever! The service was great and the chef's grandchildren and son-in-law were eating at the table next to the kitchen. Their grandmother, who had a hip blue do, was our server and she was way cool! I love this place!!!More

We were the only tourists in this local restaurant. Had a lovely ravioli followed by the best desserts in a restaurant I've had for years. Somewhat difficult to drive up to but absolutely worth it. Parking available. Very reasonable prices. We enjoyed sitting with a...coffee watching clouds float by below us Highly recommendedMore

In this local family restaurant we come over and over again during all our trips to Lake Como. We like to mix between the local guests and we always feel very welcome by the family who runs the place. The cook is very inventive and...makes wonderful plates, also for us who are vegetarians. The torta's made by Francesca are delicious. We love the warm lunch just as good as the evening dinner. We are very happy to visit this feel good restaurant.More

Let me start by saying our food was quite good, our server was warm, friendly and attentive, and the location is beautiful. That said, I had an unfortunate experience with who I think was the owner. Firstly, I speak italian, while not fluently, well enough...to understand most of what is being said, and can express myself better than most tourists. I called to make a reservation, speaking entirely in italian. 10 or more sentences in, my cell connection became choppy, and it was quite difficult to hear the gentleman on the other side of the line. I politely asked, in italian, "Mi dispiace, parli l'inglese?" (I'm sorry, do you speak english?) in an attempt to complete the conversation with clarity. The man put me on the phone with his son who did speak beautiful english, and we completed our reservation. During our meal, which was very good (try the lake fish, so delicious!), the owner was making snide remarks in italian to friends of his at a nearby table. He was being, in my opinion, quite unfair based on the fact that my italian wasn't perfect, and clearly had assumed I was unable to understand him. All this despite the fact that we were ordering, and carrying on a very pleasant conversation entirely in italian with our wonderful server. I don't often write negative reviews, but I felt the need based on the fact that this gentleman's comments were unnecessarily rude and unfair, and extremely uncharacteristic of the vast majority of people we've had the pleasure of meeting and becoming close to in Italy. I hope you do eat at this restaurant, but steer clear of the owner if you don't speak impeccable italian!More
