Il Gelato del Vecio In Colico

05/01/2025: I went to this place in the run-up to Christmas for a group dinner. Obviously it is a very chaotic evening, but the staff knows how to navigate it and still manages to provide an attentive, precise and courteous service. The menu offers pizzas (the "Brianzolo" type, with low dough, therefore not the classic Neapolitan pizza), but also other dishes, albeit with fairly generic proposals, so there is no particularly distinctive or distinctive line of cuisine; for example, both grilled ribs and cutlet and mixed fried fish and spaghetti with lobster are on the menu, furthermore the 'off-menu' dishes are reported verbally by the waiters who carry out table service, without specifying the cost (in my opinion the board with the price written is always better). However, I tasted a slice of shared focaccia (pleasant), a plate of spaghetti with lobster (the pasta was cooked just right, the lobster was not very tasty, as was the sauce, I would say made without bisque...) and a lemon sorbet, standard. The place is warm and welcoming, the tables are too close together, the environment is noisy. Prices are a little high, but average for the area. Overall I didn't like the experience, especially for the somewhat anonymous cuisine but above all for the absence of a distinctive cuisine line, which I would say is now essential in a contemporary restaurant. I wouldn't go back and I don't feel like recommending it because, although I didn't have a bad meal, the food didn't satisfy me.
