Il Birrivico In Como

02/01/2025: We ate at Il Sorriso on New Year’s Day 2025. I wasn’t sure what restaurants would be open on that day, but I was able to make a reservation online through TheFork. We had a reservation for nine people, and unfortunately, our friends that were driving from Milan got stuck because there was a major accident which closed the tunnel in Brienno. The staff at Il Sorriso could not have been more patient and understanding House our friends were late by 90 minutes! Our server checked in on my daughter, and I, as we waited for our other seven guests and said that it was not a problem and was very kind and accommodating. When they finally arrived, we ordered a ton of food. We had the bresaola appetizer with goat cheese and fried gnocchi which was delicious. My daughter ordered the Prosecco and Rosemary risotto, which was delicious. And I ordered the risotto with perch filets which was also great. And we ordered several bottles of local wine, which were reasonably priced and also very tasty. So our lunch that was supposed to start at 1 o’clock ended up starting at 2:30 and we didn’t leave the restaurant until close to 530 pm. Again, we never felt rushed, and we were well looked after. And finally, our table upstairs had a view of the lake. It wasn’t a huge window, but we could still see the lake. Highly recommended!
