Cantina Bottega In Gravedona

Very nice place with very good food, portions could be bigger

The food was pretty average for the prices, a very bony fish, and a very bitter pasta with pesto. I hadn’t liked it at all, tried and stopped eating it immediately. Was still charged for the whole price of the pasta, no apologies or reaction even I told the waitress about it. Not a place to come back.

My boyfriend and I are both vegan and struggled a bit in finding nice places to eat in Italy. But this place was just perfect: great ambiance in an underground basement-like setting, great food (also vegan), would definitely recommend the olive oil tasting as well! Great wines and perfect service and attention for details. Would definitely come here again when visiting the Como lake.

Such a great place! Had the fish dish and beef as well as Cacio e Pepe pasta - everything delicious! I especially loved the grilled veggies and even asked for more on the side - bonus point for the tasty vegan dessert

Very good experience, the cheese starters was very good and was interesting to hear about. The fish was good but the vegetables were laking a bit to me. The olive oil was good. Very pretty place, nice paintings. Like that the ingridienses were local and natural.

We had a lovely dining experience, made personal by the owner who served us and shared stories about local wines and how the restaurant began. Her wine recommendations, from nearby vineyards, matched our preferences perfectly and the selection was impressive. The quiet room created a relaxed atmosphere, though warmer lighting would have made it feel cozier. The menu was small but thoughtful, with unique takes on classic dishes. We appreciated the creativity, but it would have been great to know in advance that the carbonara, fx, was made with sausage instead of guanciale. The pasta also felt a bit undercooked, firmer than expected. Again, could be just my personal preference. Still, it felt like a genuine Italian experience, and we would recommend it to those looking for something distinctive and personal.

So happy we found this restaurant. I’m vegan and was a bit worried when I realised I was staying somewhere quite remote in Como. Despite one vegan dish being out of stock on the menu, the chef made me a delicious aubergine cream tagliatelle which was delicious. Also had 3 choices of dessert - chose the cheesecake and it was so tasty. Shout out to the servers too - they took the time to talk about the different wines and we felt really looked after. Thank you so much again.

Best food and wine around! By far the best restaurant in town. A fantastic wine list and knowledgeable advice from the owner. Her husband cooks only with good produce – all regional and organic. And the best pesto in the world also comes from his kitchen: with almonds, cherry tomatoes, and nutritional yeast (instead of Parmesan), it's also vegan.

We were only in the area for two days, but we managed to book a table. Delicious food. I go to restaurants, I cook, I just like to eat. And I have to admit that I haven't eaten such a simple and excellent meal in a long time. Perfectly seasoned, served, simply delicious. If someone says that the portions are small, let them order a second one. Expensive? For me, it was affordable. I don't know if you can put a price on the passion for cooking and the time spent on choosing dishes and ingredients. I remember how good it feels to eat at my mother's, I can't put a price on it. They are located in the basement, but thanks to that it is pleasantly cool. It is hard to find there, yes, but it is worth looking for. It is really worth visiting this place. I hope I will have the opportunity to enjoy a meal here again. Greetings to the whole team with all my heart.

Simply lovely establishment. We came as we have been passing the restaurant few times. Then we saw the reviews on google, and it was indeed a great culinary experience. Definitely must visit when you’re in Gravedona!!
