Bar Al Paladar de la Memoria In Menaggio

Nice place. Nicely decorated. Delicious sandwiches and piadinas. Very knowledgeable and friendly owner.

Wandered past when I was looking for food around 3.30pm and nothing was open (November 2025), found a delightful surprise here. Weather was cold but the cosy restaurant, food and wine wonderfully warmed me up from the inside. Food was perfect - the lasagna was seasoned well, tender and the meat ratio perfect. The chianti and tiramisu was also 👌🏼 I had some delicious chest nuts too. Good service. Overall, reasonably priced and great taste, especially compared to all the other extremely expensive restaurants in Varenna and Bellagio I ate at which had very mediocre food. Thank you very much ☺️

As a family of 3 we stopped here for lunch on our day trip to mennagio. Its a small cozy environment. Has a toilet and seating for dining separate from the bar. The food was excellent. We ordered a Lasagne and a Pizza and both were excellent. The Pizza particularly was excellent very rich and tasty. Probably the best pizza i had on my entire trip around Como. Prices were also very reasonable not the usual tourist trap type place.

Just a few beers for an aperitif, nothing more. At the very least, a potato chip and olive, nothing special, sometimes not even that.

We stopped here for an Aperol Spritz and enjoyed sitting outdoors, watching the world go by. It’s the perfect spot for that. A little more tucked away, it was more quiet when we were there.
