Bar Ristorante Barchetta In Argegno

A safe bet for a pleasant break on Lake Como. Excellent quality products, often off-menu (in season), mushrooms, truffles, asparagus, and much more.

A surprise for a quick lunch. Wonderful location just steps from the lake, excellent and fast service, and truly superb tagliolini with porcini mushrooms: with lots of parsley, and cut thickly, just the way I like them. The pizzoccheri are also excellent. Reasonable prices. I can't wait to go back...

Simple and authentic cuisine Extensive wine list Everything is perfect! From aperitivo to dessert Very pleasant small dining room Very friendly owner and waitress

Fish ravioli with dill sauce was delicious

Great location, right on the lake... later in the evening, the traffic on the adjacent road also eased. The food was OK, but nothing to win awards. The service was very attentive and friendly.

Do yourself a favor and stop here to have dinner. Don’t skip the tiramisu. You’re welcome.

Delicious food, very friendly service and the owner was very helpful with the menue and food recommendations! grazie

Authentic, heartwarming Italian food — the best way to start and end our trip We’re a Canadian family traveling through Lake Como, and Ristorante Barchetta in Argegno was the first place we ate — and it left such an impression, we made sure it was also our last meal before heading home. From the moment we stepped in, Antonio made us feel like part of the family. He’s warm, genuine, and pours his heart into his food and restaurant. There’s nothing commercial or touristy about this place — just real, authentic Italian hospitality and unforgettable meals. We asked Antonio for his recommendations and he curated a beautiful dinner: Ossobuco – rich, tender, and full of depth Braised beef cheeks – absolutely melt-in-your-mouth Fresh lake fish – light, simple, and perfectly cooked And a homemade grey pasta — a local specialty we had never seen before. It was fresh, earthy, and uniquely delicious. Even our two picky little minions — who are normally tough customers — devoured their meals. That’s how you know the food is next-level! This place is the real deal. No tourist fluff, no gimmicks — just incredible food, local charm, and Antonio’s passion on full display. Barchetta is a must if you're anywhere near Argegno or Lake Como. We’re heading back to Canada already missing it.

Communicative and helpful staff, great Italian food, would definitely recommend.

The waiter who took care of us was truly excellent and guided us to the right dessert. This restaurant truly deserves 5 stars. The waiter who took care of us was truly excellent and recommended the right dessert. This restaurant truly deserves 5 stars.
