Elegant Dining with Room for Everyone
Il Diavolo L’Acqua Santa was a fantastic choice for our group of 12 — spacious, welcoming, and beautifully designed. The ambiance is elegant yet relaxed, and the wine selection (especially the cellar!) was truly impressive.
The menu offered something for everyone, with a wide range of appetizers, fresh pastas, and hearty meat dishes. Every course was thoughtfully prepared and delicious. Whether you’re visiting as a couple or with a large group, this restaurant is a standout in both service and quality.
Highly recommended for a memorable meal in a stunning setting!

On the hills of Como there is this restaurant housed in an ancient building where the stone and exposed bricks make it a very suggestive environment.
We began our experience with a taste of very good vitello tonnato, continuing with a decomposed aubergine and a fassona tartare, both mouth-watering. As the main course, the Rossini-style beef fillet was truly exceptional. I highly recommend it. Attentive and friendly service.
Prices above average but we know that you pay for quality (and what quality)
Compliments.

I will definitely be back to try the tasting menu.
The restaurant welcomes you in the old stables of the Castello dei Conti, finely renovated, a truly elegant and characteristic environment.
The service is up to par for a place of this kind, the only two notes I can make are the lack of presentation of the dishes and the choice of napkins being a little too cheap. For the rest I would say flawless.
We finally come to the kitchen.
We started with two starters, Potato Flan and Beef Tartare, both delicious. Moving on to the two first courses, the Tortelli Crudo and Figs are undoubtedly worth trying, they are also very good, while the Sgorbi with Tuna and Stracciatella, a dish without infamy and without praise, should be seen again. We continued with a fillet at Jack Daniel's, very tender meat, perfectly cooked and an exquisite dish. Finally, two desserts Normal berry cheesecake, nothing exceptional and Chocolate and berry semifreddo quite good. Two glasses of good red wine accompany the dinner.
The bill, I would say, is in line with a restaurant of this kind.
The desserts at 12 euros are probably a bit too expensive.

I very much agree with -Ale Erre's review.
First time in this restaurant (and before coming we inquired with friends, acquaintances.. so we didn't even come by chance) we were left feeling like this for a bit.. I must say that the expectations were very very high so we expected everything to the maximum!
Taste was also good but not that "WOW" stuff.
The location I say: WOW!!!
And the two things together should go fairly hand in hand... so I don't know.
"Lots of smoke and no fire"
Wow and I'm very sorry but I really expected A BOMB DINNER also because the prices are NOT low!

Location pazzesca, arredi eleganti e raffinati. Ottima cucina. Consigliato sopratutto per una cena romantica e magari per qualche evento

Prima visita in questo locale e sottolineo che tutto è riferito alla degustazione "7 peccati dello chef".
Accoglienza,servizio,gentilezza tutti 5 stelle.
3 antipasti e 2 primi eccellenti, trattandosi di degustazione dovevano essere assagini.
Flan di funghi porcini, composta di melanzane, tartare di fassona(3 antipasti) ottima qualità.
2 primi : tagliolini al ragù di cervo, e ravioli di bufala con gelato fiordi latte con pepe della val Maggia. Una goduria per il palato.
Gli ultimi 2 peccati non sono stati all'altezza dei primi cinque. Le costine da dimenticare, bruciate ricoperte di una salsa indecifrabile la torta di mele immangiabile, stopposa e cruda.
Torneremo sicuramente ma per cenare alla carta. Questa è solo una critica prettamente personale e non vuole essere un giudizio, solo una valutazione dettata da gusti personali.
Per finire da rivedere i tempi, la degustazione è durata quasi 3 ore dalle 20 alle 22:45, a mio avviso 120 minuti sarebbero stati più che sufficienti.
