Bar Volta In Como

Everything was great, but there were a lot of people smoking outside. That's why it took one star off. The food was excellent.

Sometimes it's better not to write reviews, right? Because it's the wrong time, because it happens, with no one to blame for unfortunate events, but pure chance as this world is; other times because you're slow, like Denise Bernardo. I wanted (almost needed) a coffee and I had one, sitting down, overlooking the lake, at a ridiculous price (on par with Finale or other tourist destinations in Liguria), during aperitivo time. Thankfully, there were free seats, but no one even hinted that I should move on. Sure, the outdoor seating is a little cramped, but Como already has too many fat people. For what I asked for, I absolutely received 5*. Anyone who tries something else will be free to write a different, or even useless, review, written by someone who's only had a coffee since.

Solid but nothing extraordinary!

Very informal and friendly service. Simple but well-stocked drinks menu. Very pleasant place.

Suitable for having a few drinks.

We went to this bar to watch the football final because it was one of the only bars that allowed it. The waiters were overwhelmed, and it didn't match the moment. Luckily, the crowd was friendly.

We had a great time at Caffe Alessandra Volta. You get exactly what you pay for. As seasoned Italy travellers we wanted a typical bar/bistro place - unpretentious with drinks, panini, and pizza. The place delivers exactly that. It is not one of the high end places in Como where you pay for atmosphere and view. It is an Italian bistro where you can sit down for a quick coffee, get it within minutes, and set off again. We will come back exactly for that.

Aperitif only if you want to drink. Not to eat.

One star deducted due to the construction site next door, although the café isn't to blame. Great spot with beautiful buildings surrounding it. Delicious paninis for around €7 and a good cappuccino for around €4.

A little scalded by the previous comments, but ultimately not so bad. It's more of a bar that serves snacks. Pizza and piadinas are decent for the price. Convenient for lunch while exploring the city. Pleasant environment.
