Hosteria del Platano In Varenna

If you are looking for an authentic tavern in Varenna this is the right place. We were welcomed with great warmth by the owner, who made the experience even more special with her hospitality and her stories. The menu offers traditional dishes, prepared with fresh ingredients and great attention to flavours. Each course was delicious, with generous portions and thoughtful presentation. The service was impeccable. The atmosphere is intimate and welcoming, perfect for enjoying a meal in peace. A truly pleasant experience, which we recommend to anyone who wants to discover the best of local cuisine in Varenna.

Affable and helpful waitress. Few dishes offered with some errors between the menu and the presentation but well made. Discrepancies in the wine list. Adequate price.

In all honesty, the food is good but the price is disproportionate for quality and quantity (mostly). I noticed that the maitre d' is very severe and unpleasant towards the waitress, even in a conspicuous way, and I didn't like it at all. Little respect for the collaborators and prices/quantities leads me to say that I will never go back there again

A quiet place with simply spectacular food. From the starter, the first course, the second and the dessert. 100% recommended if you pass through Varenna.

We had the privilege of having lunch yesterday for the first time in this enchanting restaurant, where the excellent quality of the food, an elegant and romantic atmosphere and kindness and professionalism come together in a perfect combination. Truly a wonderful experience, we were struck by the beauty of this pleasant place and by the friendly and warm welcome. Anniversary celebrated in the best way, we were EXCITED.

I had the pleasure of having lunch in this place and I must say that the experience was exceptional from every point of view. As soon as we entered, we were greeted with a warmth and friendliness that immediately put us at ease. The staff was attentive and helpful, without ever being intrusive, and guided us with excellent advice in choosing the dishes. The cuisine was simply fantastic: every dish we tried was prepared with the freshest ingredients and with attention to detail that was evident at every taste. The flavors were balanced and each dish a little discovery. The atmosphere of the place is welcoming and refined, perfect for a relaxing day. Ultimately, a perfect lunch in an environment that combines the quality of the cuisine with impeccable service. I will definitely return and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an unforgettable gastronomic experience!

Fine restaurant, excellent food, very friendly staff. I highly recommend.

Went there with my friends, actually by accident. Was amazing ! So glad we could try soooo good Italian food. The staff was so nice, however I didn’t get used to that slow service.. I guess it’s just Italy :) Smoked duck breast was the best raw meat we could eat. Ravioli and tiramisu were my fav ! Recommend Edit Came back after a year, still amazed

Tuvimos varias comidas excelentes en la región del lago medio de Como y este restaurante estaba en o cerca de la parte superior de la lista. Se toman su tiempo aquí y es una verdadera experiencia gastronómica. Tres horas de vuelo en este comedor de piedra arqueada que era acogedor y cómodo. Gran carta de vinos, comida y servicio. Muy recomendable. Para tu información, vimos el restaurante rechazar al menos una docena de grupos tratando de conseguir una mesa. Comimos allí un miércoles a finales de septiembre. Realizar una solicitud de reserva a través de la página web. Le informarán si la solicitud es aceptada. No es automático. Estábamos alojados en Varenna y está a 17 minutos a pie del restaurante. Intentamos conseguir un taxi o Uber en vano. Tenga en cuenta eso si tiene una reserva.

No cumple con los estándares, esto no puede ser un restaurante Michelin. Mi esposa tenía dos platos, yo tres. Su principal vino con mi 2o así que tuve mi principal sola, íbamos a compartir mi 2o plato de pasta. Había algunos platos geniales, pero no todos. Su pescado estaba demasiado cocido y mi carne poco cocida. De hecho traje el lomo a casa para el desayuno. Pregunto, ¿quién trae comida a casa de un restaurante Michelin?
