Bar Azzurro In Cernobbio

We simply loved Bar Azzuro. We rented a villa a short distance below and chose to enjoy a couple of family dinners here versus the far more expensive Il Gato Nero and were rewarded with rooftop dining, friendly and prompt service and incredibly delicious pasta and pizza. The wine list is robust and well priced. This is a local neighborhood gathering spot and I believe both nights we were the only American tourists eating there. Highly recommend.

The bar impresses with its typically Italian, uncomplicated charm. The fact that everything seems a bit improvised and drinks are served in cans only underscores its authenticity. The price-performance ratio is less than ideal. While the food was good, the prices, apart from the pizzas, are, in my opinion, a good 20-30% too high. One gets the impression that the restaurant's rustic image is being deliberately exploited for profit. My review is intended as a deliberate counterpoint to the many effusive reviews, where it seems that some guests are letting their holiday romanticism get the better of them. It's hard to imagine that the residents around the village square pay these prices on a daily basis. In short: If you want to eat here, you'll pay a noticeable premium for the authentic atmosphere and the chance to share a table with locals.

What a fantastic discovery! We had a truly wonderful meal, one of the best meals of our vacation. Everything was delicious, from the main course to the dessert, and you could taste the quality and passion in every course. A special thanks to the staff, who were lovely from start to finish: kind, smiling, and always attentive. We felt welcomed like friends. It's a shame our vacation is almost over, because otherwise we would have come back here every night without a doubt! Highly recommended, we can't wait to return. 🇬🇧🍑✨

This place is a gem, the food is perfect and the service is unbeatable.

Great place, delicious pizza and coffee, and a good selection of alcoholic drinks. Pleasant service and atmosphere

A small, informal place with friendly and helpful owners.

The food and atmosphere of the bar and restaurant in the square of this small, quiet village are really good. It would have been a full 5-star if it hadn't had the prices of foreign customers, or if the dishes had been a little more abundant to justify the price. Especially the octopus on chickpea cream is really good, but €25 for two tentacles (considering how big they are) is really too much. Spritz €7 with olives and chips, the second courses are all €25. The price in general is really a bit too high, unfortunately I think it's due to the area being frequented mostly by foreigners, but... we're here too... so if you want to spend a little, the food is worth it.

A fantastic restaurant/bar! The atmosphere makes you feel like a local (we were the only two tourists – everyone else knew each other and it felt like one big family). The food is an absolute 10/10 – super fresh and very flavorful ingredients. The waitress's red wine recommendation was perfect. We will definitely come back!
