A delightful discovery. We found it by chance on Google Maps, and found excellent cuisine in a rustic setting with friendly, helpful, professional, and above all, welcoming staff. The seasonal menu features a limited number of dishes, but offers quality, refined ingredients. Excellent value, definitely worth a visit. The road to get there is scenic, but it's worth the effort. Highly recommended.

I've been twice and enjoyed well-prepared traditional dishes. The welcome and service were also more than satisfactory.

First time at Crott del Meo. It's reached from Varenna via a scenic road with breathtaking views of the lake (with a few hairpin bends). The Crotto has two small, simple but well-appointed rooms. You're welcomed into an atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at home, thanks in part to the two brothers—one the chef and the other in charge of the dining room—who immediately put you at ease. The service is attentive and professional. Ivan, in the kitchen, prepares truly delicious dishes using quality ingredients (the tagliatelle with game ragù is spectacular, but the pizzoccheri are also excellent, among the best I've ever eaten). The prices are absolutely fair considering the quality. We'll definitely be back, perhaps in the spring when the warmer weather might allow us to dine al fresco. Highly recommended!

I had lunch at this restaurant with some friends and we were truly delighted. We ate delicious pizzoccheri, flavorful and perfectly prepared, with quality ingredients that tasted in every bite. The atmosphere is welcoming and refined, perfect for a relaxing lunch with friends. The staff was friendly and helpful, making us feel immediately at ease. A truly positive experience that I recommend to anyone who loves good food and a family atmosphere.

We loved it! The bresaola with sciatt was delicious (the batter was really well-made), the pizzoccheri and tagliatelle were excellent, and the ribs with lavecc were butter. The price was right for the quality of the food. It was nice that the chef even came out to check on us, and the lady and her husband in the dining room were also very kind.

My wife and I had dinner here while staying in Perledo/Varenna. This restaurant is located way way up, but it is worth the drive! We parked and then just had a short little walk further up to the restaurant itself. The view from just outside the restaurant is incredible. Food was all home made and absolutely incredible. It is quite tiny inside (probably best to make a reservation) but this may have been one of the best meals we had throughout our stay.
