Crotto di Pino In Varenna

Amazing, just amazing. Great food, fantastic location, friendly staff. Family run.

Great restaurant! We loved eating there, the view is amazing. The food was really good and the service was perfect, with two very kind and attentive waitresses! I recommend this restaurant.

We strongly recommend booking in advance, otherwise the welcome can seem rather cold. Upon our arrival, we were asked to wait at the entrance until the chef—who also appears to be the owner—finally allowed us to sit down, even though the dining room was almost empty (the number of seats is limited to 25). We were seated right next to the kitchen, from where we heard the chef uttering insults. During service, plates were abruptly placed on the counter, showing a certain irritation. This attitude contributes to a tense atmosphere, which is unfortunate because the food is of good quality. However, the prices seemed high for Italy. In summary: remember to book in advance and request a table away from the kitchen to fully enjoy the experience.

There were five of us, and we ate very well. The fish appetizers were excellent, and the risotto and pork cheek were both tasty and delicious. Highly recommended!

Despite the misunderstanding about the time, we were served like royalty. The food was delicious, and the staff was polite and friendly. 10/10

We were recommended this restaurant by our local landlord and we're happy to find it still serving at 9pm. We were very pleasantly surprised by the gorgeously lit terrace overlooking the lake. The menu offered a selection of authentic dishes with ingredients locally sourced. The Lake fish was deliciously delicate and fresh. The venison stew packed a flavour punch and the meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender. The Tagliatelle Ragu was a great portion and was nicely seasoned. We enjoyed the house white wine and the service was accommodating and allowed us to relax on the terrace til late.

A true culinary pearl immersed in a welcoming and authentic atmosphere... the service is impeccable, fast, attentive and always available... the relaxing environment is ideal for a romantic dinner or an evening with friends.

Cute dog, friendly staff, great food:)

Encantador restaurante situado en lo alto del lago. Disfrutamos tanto que cenamos allí dos veces durante nuestra estancia en el lago de Como!

Terrazza con vista lago spettacolare, ambiente intimo e cibo ottimo con prezzo contenuto. Ci ritornerò e lo consiglio
