Veranda In Cernobbio

The restaurant is considered formal, which means gentlemen have to wear a jacket (tie not required). The room itself is the one also used for breakfast. It is nice without having any real charm or atmosphere. The food is good without being exceptional. The wine list is monumentally huge and impenetrable. The Somellier was outstanding and helpful so we didn't have to go into battle with the main list, otherwise we would still be there trying to decide. We very much enjoyed our meal but felt that it fell somewhat short of Michelin Star standards but the price tag did not.

Probably too many guest and staff undertrained. Good spacing between the tables, we ordered zucchini flowers and artichoke excellent. Fettuccine tuna and sea urchins, a bit overwhelming the tuna. Chocolate cigar perfect! But, the wine list was presented to us only after been asked for 3/4 times and anyway after the appetizer was served, and with dessert we ordered glass of Passito and… dessert was served, eaten, coffee ordered and served and finally the dessert wine arrived… and we obviously refused it. But maybe it was the wrong evening, it can happen. Staff friendly and thanks to Toto, the manager that offered us some delicious crepes Suzette.
