Bar Grotta Azzurra In Guanzate

20/05/2026: Omg. The Braised Beef with Polenta was the highlight of my experience in Como. The meaty & rich sauce was by far the best I've tried in Italy thus far, and worked so well with the beef! I've developed a new addiction. The view of Lake Como from above is also absolutely stunning and therapeutic for my mind. More importantly, the service of this restaurant is excellent! I'd highly recommend this restaurant for anyone visiting Como; it's a no-brainer and I'll be back here again!

16/05/2026: The view is truly beautiful, and that is probably the main reason people come here. Unfortunately, the overall experience did not match the scenery. The food was very average, nothing special. What disappointed us most was the attitude at the entrance. As soon as we arrived, the woman at the cashier handed us the menu and insisted that we had to choose right there before sitting down. I explained that my foot was hurting and politely asked if I could sit and choose from the menu, but she answered “no” with a very strict, almost schoolteacher-like attitude. It felt far from welcoming or kind. It was raining heavily that day; otherwise, we definitely would not have stayed. Beautiful view, but the food and service need serious improvement.
