Crotto dei Platani In Brienno

Awesome. We will definitely be back!

A very nice and welcoming place. Excellent food and very friendly staff. Advised

Super location, very attentive service too. In short, food (given the price!!!): super spicy squid ink linguine (?!?), horse fillet with black garlic (a crumb) with a pumpkin flan, too bad it was only half, and then fregola (?!?) or similar, 10 grains on the plate..but why!?! Wide margin for improvement... I would focus on the taste and essentiality of the dishes Ps. The crumble is actually a kind of apple pie, here too a thousand things on the plate, but overall they lack balance

Found it a bit by accident but it was a nice discovery, almost starred and gourmet cuisine, every dish was good and beautiful

What can I say... I brought my boyfriend here for Valentine's Day, as a surprise. Right from the booking, which is made directly on their website, they were friendly and very helpful, even advising me, upon my request, of a tag to put on the dessert with a phrase of my choice (a tag which they kindly offered me despite it having a small additional cost). From the appetizer to the dessert everything was perfect: the maitre d' and the waiters who served us were very professional and attentive; the food, well... Not being used to restaurants of this caliber, I found it practically heaven (especially the fresh egg tagliolini with black truffle, which was exquisite; the cod, I don't think I've ever eaten so good, practically melted in my mouth), with completely reasonable portions, so much so that at the end of dinner we were really full. Let's talk about the location: for Valentine's Day, the restaurant was decorated with many heart-shaped balloons, live music and many other small details which, together, formed a decidedly romantic setting. The site practically hugs the lake, the view was obviously phenomenal, made even more intense by the glass wall from which you could admire everything. Their wine, a Chardonnay, was delicate and gentle on the palate, no acidic notes, no overpowering flavour, on the contrary: it accompanied the food perfectly. The menu booked for the occasion cost €130 per person, nothing compared to what we ate, drank and the service offered. Quality comes at a price. For those who have complained about the prices, there are always all-you-can-eat restaurants, trattorias and fast food outlets (be careful, I frequent them too, without taking anything away from these places), you certainly cannot expect to pay 30 euros each for a place overlooking the lake, with a certain service and with a certain menu. Having said that, I thank all the staff at Crotto dei Platani for making my Valentine's Day gift perfect. We will definitely see each other again.

Beautiful place on the lake with little parking but the restaurant offers a (small) private car park

Lovely romantic evening, great people watching, smooth service and yummy food.

Bellissima location sul lago di Como. Ottimi i primi. Personale professionale e di disponibile. Buono rapporto qualità prezzo. Da ritornare

Beautiful place by the lake with an amazing view and history, the reason I won’t give it 5 stars is because I’ve ordered the fish (39 Euros dish ) and it was super over cooked and dry so I couldn’t eat it and that changed completely my experience , I know this can happen but usually in places like this besides apologies you get at least the desert on the house but they didn’t, my girlfriend’s dish was good and the antipasti was amazing

È la quarta volta che torniamo in questo ristorante, ed ogni volta si conferma eccellente. La location è semplicemente uno spettacolo, soprattutto con le decorazioni e le luci del periodo natalizio. Abbiamo cenato in una sala affacciata sul lago, ed anche se eravamo al chiuso abbiamo avvertito comunque la magia del luogo. Le portate squisite, e assolutamente soddisfacenti nelle porzioni (non di tratta di un "gourmet"). Il personale estremamente attento alla clientela, soprattutto nella scelta dei vini da abbinare ai piatti scelti. Il prezzo è in linea con i "competitor" che offrono la vista lago, ma ne vale assolutamente la pena.
