Il Carrettiere In Como

Excellent regional dishes. The seating is in true Italian style. Large portions. We shared a pasta dish and then each had a main course – we could barely finish our portions. Very good value for money. I would highly recommend this restaurant and would gladly return myself ☺️

We visited Il Carrettiere and it was a wonderful discovery. You can immediately sense the passion, hard work, and attention to detail. The restaurant is very clean, welcoming, and tastefully decorated. The interior design is truly high-quality: authentic, coherent, and meticulously crafted, yet elegant and tasteful. The atmosphere exudes a true old-school Italian atmosphere in the best sense of the word, an atmosphere increasingly rare these days. The cuisine is truly top-notch. The pizza is prepared according to the finest Italian tradition, while the fritto misto and seafood pasta were exceptional. In particular, the fritto misto was probably the best I've had in Como: everything was incredibly fresh, light, and perfectly cooked. The service was also very professional, attentive, and kind. It was a truly pleasant experience from every perspective. Sincere compliments to the entire team and a heartfelt thank you!

Best seafood pasta I’ve ever had The service was exceptional

Returned to Carrettiere after years for the legendary seafood pasta, described on the menu as "first and last." You never leave disappointed.

Lunch with friends. I recommend the seafood risotto.

The risotto and mixed grill were fantastic. I really liked the rustic interior decor. Super fair prices for Como!

It was very crowded. When I called to order food at noon, the man was very rude and hung up on me before I could finish. I think he doesn't want to work. The food was delicious, but I was a little tired of eating too much cream. The food was hot, which is rare, and the portions were very generous. The waitresses sometimes didn't seem very friendly.

Other restaurants in the city have a hard time competing with the quality, sizes and prices of the amazing food you get at this restaurant. I ate at this restaurant 4 nights out of the 10 days I stayed in como simply because everything was supreme here. The staff is friendly, the food tastes amazing, the sizes are big and you won’t leave feeling hungry or like you should’ve gotten more for your money, and the food, drinks and dessert are all fairly priced. Can’t recommend it enough if you want a true Italian/Sicilian dining experience.

Have eaten here 3 times now, and every time has been absolutely perfect. Whether you order pasta, risotto or pizza, they deliver delicious dishes, in good sizes, at incredibly reasonable prices. Their Sicilian beer is also highly recommended.

Excellent Italian restaurant. The pizzas are superb and reasonably priced, and the desserts are also very good. The service is pleasant, the waiters are friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxed. The seafood dishes also looked delicious. Excellent value for money, I highly recommend it! 👍
