Sit outside in the enclosure. Very nice cuisine featuring the lake and sea. Lake fish was very well prepared. Pasta with fava beans and crumbled sausage was excellent and highly recommended. Polite wait staff that speaks English. A small nice walk from the ferry.

We just happened to walk past and decided to try this restaurant on our last day at Lake Como, boy are we glad we did! We were seated in the small dining area along the lake front. Bread was brought to our table in little sacks Which was a nice touch and I’m glad to say real butter was provided (already a winner for me). I chose the butter chicken served with salad - really moist and succulent and my partner had the local fish - the batter was light and the sauce delicious. To finish off I had a deconstructed raspberry and lemon meringue pie, simply gorgeous! My partner had the baked apple which I was a little jealous of as it was filled generally with chopped nuts + fruit served with warm vanilla cream. An excellent lunch to finish off our last day in the Lakes, we will make sure to find this restaurant again when we next visit!

We stopped for a lunch to a sunny patio and beautiful view.
Place seems to have good reputation because there was queue forming when we left.
Trout and Chicken main courses were well prepared and very tasty. This place is better than any average restaurant at the boardwalk.
Real value for money!

In two weeks of dining out in Varenna and surroundings this historically family owned restaurant was the best one we found. Maybe slightly more expensive than some of the other venues around, but definitely worth it. A limited choice in the menu always indicates attention to quality instead of quanty. A modern twist to the dishes but without loss of the taste, on the contrary: the local lavarello fish I had was exquisite. Complimenti!

We took the ferry from Bellagio to Varenna. One can get around Varenna fairly quickly which leaves time for eating and drinking. We got a nice table for three here and had pizza and wine. Good and would return.
