Osteria La Tana dei Pescatori In Como

The restaurant is located in the tourist area of ​​Como, not very large rooms, good position of the tables outside. Complete menu as well as the wine list, excellent craft beers. It must be said, given the location and the à la carte prices, perhaps we expect a less well-groomed menu, as we are the first courses of both fish, especially meat.

There is no arguing about the quality of the food, we tried scampi tartare, pasta with clams and grilled scampi. It is not possible to make just one criticism. In my experience the fish was really fresh. The furnishings of the place and the environment in general are excellent. It would be hard not to give 5 stars on all points of view if it weren't for the things below. The scampi tartare was excellent, however a paltry portion for €28.00. The tables available along the passage about 80cm from the bar counter, where I was sitting, are obscene. The service surprised me a lot, cold, sloppy, approximate. It devalues ​​the restaurant a lot. I was dressed quite comfortably, returning from a business trip, perhaps contributing to a non-professional approach. I'm going to confirm some other reviews. We are talking about a medium-high level restaurant, it has nothing of an osteria. Prices at least €30/40 per person. Absurd €55.00 per person for a lobster pasta, for two people minimum, they are 500-600g pieces.

Recommended by Golf Par Excellence and didn't disappoint!!!

One of best osteria so far! Best oysters in Italy! Everything was amazing! Will definitely visit again!!

Excellent customer service. The food was nice, but not worth the money. Sea Bass was on the bland side. Side salad was small and no dressing, no options offered. Grilled vegetables: Biggest disappointment. Bland and tiny tiny portion.

Very nice environment. Incredible hospitality. Many thanks to Ayon and his team!

Good fish, very welcoming place in the city center, professional service. Prices are for tourists from Como Lake.

The fish can be said to be good. Not all dishes are excellent. High prices, but the worst thing, which is why I won't return, is the EXTREME rudeness of the female and non-Italian staff. A cover charge 4 euros. Small place where you eat almost on top of each other. Too bad, the raw food is good. The owner should reevaluate all staff

When looking for a fish restaurant in Como, not so many different options with such a variety of fresh fish and choices (row or cooked fish). On the other hand, I was not impressed. I was there for dinner. Found place without reservation, but strongly suggested to book in advance. We order 2 different tartares as starters (shrimps only and mixed) and we were served pretty fast. Tartares were good and well served, interestingly served on top of fresh chopped cucumbers that made the taste of fish even more delicate. We then had the big plate of mix of gratin seafood (min 2 pax); we were served a quite impressing quantity of seafood, scampi and shrimps on a big plate. Unfortunately the fish ended up in a bit of disappointment. The early bites were showing a pretty “flat” taste (bread crumbles and oil in the gratin were covering the taste of mussels and shrimps) and ended-up with the same repetitive bites regardless the type of seafood we were eating, in spite of having pretty high quality seafood in. We were surrounded by people tasting a similar raw version of our plate, and had the impression it was appreciated more. I could suggest to take these big plates and share in a bigger group as a starter (share plate in 4 people) and then taste other things. I have to go back to have a more complete opinion. We finished with 2 desserts, one creme brûlée and one profiteroles (all other desserts were of good quality -from brand Sal de Riso- but not freshly made in the restaurant. Our choice was ok-ish, but not impressing. We accompanied with water only, but the wine choice is pretty broad. Bill was at the level of the freshness of the fish, so 60+ per persons (nb: with no wine)

Food was alright, but for $140 Cdn for 3 people just for 3 entres and still water, it was a bit much. Also, the seabass I ordered was not deboned properly making it very cumbersome to eat. Strange that vegetables didn't come with the fish entre. So ordering the fish means you only get just the fish, so I shouldn't have assumed that when the server asked if I wanted my veggies grilled that it actually came with veggies. Discovered after seeing the bill that an additional $12 was added for a portion of grilled veggies. Fyi...the price for this meal is considered average for a restaurant at Lake Como, so prepare to pay this amount and more for a simple sit down meal at a casual restaurant.
