Barlafüs In Laveno-mombello

I stumbled upon this trattoria in Laveno Mombello after finding many lakeside establishments closed or without a fixed-price lunch menu. I had a truly positive experience at this family-run restaurant, where I enjoyed a full menu for €15: braised ravioli, roast beef, baked potatoes, water, and coffee. The food was truly high-quality, especially the meat, both in the filling and the main course. The service was friendly, a bit slow for a business lunch, but it was a special day as there were many construction workers. The atmosphere is typical of a simple trattoria, maintaining the traditional design of days gone by. Recommended. 4⭐

Such a great experience, having lunch with the locals. It was lunch time, so all tables were full. However, the owner moved some tables around and brought another table from the terrace, to accommodate us. They have a daily menu with 3 choices of first course and 3 choices of second course. Delicios traditional food, great authentic atmosphere.

We visited this FAMILY restaurant many time s during our week stay in Laveno. It started with looking for Hot Chocolate “Chocolata Calda GRANDE!” We had brioches with chocolate or marmalade then other meals we had the special of the day which was always posted on the sign outside. I must says the we got to meet the WHOLE family and they were all EXCEPTIONALLY friendly. We did not have to pay in advance they just seemed to know what we had and we paid with out ANY remorse. We got to meet the “Couka” and she taught me a few words in Italian while I helped her with English. Frankly she was pretty good without my help. We shared wine with them and they were all EXCEPTIONALLY very happy to take pictures with us. They teased my friend when he would order a cappuccino to go for his wife. SO friendly we will definitely go back when we return! Laveno is very walkable and safe. Barlafüs is so fun and great food. They made us feel like we were part of their family. It doesn’t get any better than that!!!

Can't say enough good things about this neighborhood gem. Family owned and operated, this is a great spot to get morning coffee and brioche or come for lunch. Be sure to spend some time visiting with the friendly patrons and you'll learn why Laveno is so special.

One of the best bars in Laveno, great for breakfast or lunch. A point of reference for many of the locals, especially for those over the age of forty. Friendly and helpful staff. Only one table outside, overlooking the roundabout.
