Hosterietta In Como

07/05/2026: Apart from the salad, the food was okay.

04/05/2026: Not a bad pizza but but compared to what we’re used to in other places in Italy, it’s average at best and for that it’s more expensive than most places we were in Italy before (and had much better pizzas). We had the Messicana (spicy salami and spicy paprika, olives normally but we asked them to leave them out) and the Boscaiola (Italian sausage, onion, champignons). The dough was okay but the crust is dry. Both were 14€ which I find quite expensive, especially given that the champignons on the Boscaiola were not fresh but canned champignons for sure, which I find unacceptable and they had basically zero taste and disgusting texture. For half a liter of red house wine (vino della casa rosso) we paid 14€ - it was an above average house wine but it cost double of what we usually pay in Italy, normally for this price you can get a regular wine. The waiter was friendly and we got our food relatively quickly, but I found it a bit odd that we specifically had to say we would like to have wine glasses (there were water glasses and we also ordered water so they were filled already..). Lastly, in Italy they usually charge for table setting (coperto), most places in the area it was 1.5-2€/person - here it was 3€/person. All in all, the pizza was OK but well below the quality we are used to in other parts of Italy, I’m only giving it a 4-star because it was, sadly, still the best one we had in Porlezza.
