Il sale osteria siciliana In Como

A quiet weekday evening. It's no longer typical Sicilian, but I ate and drank well. Very friendly staff, and some areas were very nice. If I had to make a small complaint, the atmosphere was a bit chilly despite the heaters. I recommend the mixed grill; it was spectacular.

A truly pleasant place. The staff was extremely kind, attentive, and professional throughout the evening. The dishes were excellent, but the shrimp in particular were exceptional—very fresh and flavorful. The bread and wine also deserve a special mention, all of which were top-quality. You can taste the authenticity of Sicilian cuisine and the attention to detail. I would happily return again. Highly recommended.

Aside from the very high-quality food and the fair price-quality ratio, I'm particularly impressed by the management and customer service, which is truly meticulous and attentive. This aspect really surprised me, and I even pointed it out. Congratulations again. I'll definitely visit again soon.

We love going there. The food is delicious, and the staff is professional, friendly, and very helpful.

I regularly visit this Sicilian restaurant, a surefire choice when I want fresh, well-cooked fish or when I want to enjoy a special dinner. The staff is always very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The interior is simple, rustic, clean, and comfortable. As for the menu, it's short, just as I like it, with a limited selection based on the freshest ingredients available that day. It's not just fish: the chickpea panelle, the parmigiana, and the beautifully crafted desserts—from Sicilian cannoli to my beloved crema catalana—are definitely worth trying. I appreciate the respect for the ingredients in every dish: fresh, delicately cooked without overdoing it. The wine selection isn't extensive, but it's interesting. For me, dining at this Osteria has become a truly enjoyable experience. I can taste the delicious flavors of the South. Recommended!

Everything was very good, just one small complaint: too much muddica, which ended up being annoying and covering the sauce. Also, despite the fan for warm air, I was cold...otherwise, everything was fine, I'll definitely be back 👍🏻

Great food, great place, not many foreigners. If you have transportation, its 10 minutes off the como crowd. The fish with olive oil is excellent (9/10)

Good quality, although I wasn't thrilled with the food. Nice place, but parking is limited. The price was a bit high for what we ate, but overall it was more than adequate.

A very pleasant surprise. Two of us had made reservations for dinner in December for a birthday. Although we were about half an hour late, despite prior notification, it was no problem. The entire team is very young, almost entirely under 30. The wait staff is very friendly, approachable, and helpful, coming to our table several times throughout the evening to make sure everything is fine. The atmosphere is rustic and typical of a tavern, but very well-kept, with historic tuff walls and lovely paintings adorning the interior. The dining room is divided into several "sections." We were in one of the more secluded ones and had a wonderful time with no noise issues, despite the occasional friendly disturbance in the room due to the presence of a few families with occasionally lively children. It's worth noting that some sections of the dining room, like ours, can sometimes be cold in the winter, but in our case, the air conditioning was on and was blowing nice warm air, which also reached our table directly, so we were fine. The dishes were excellent: the octopus salad was perfectly cooked and cooked to perfection, the panelle were excellent and hot, and the involtini were very flavorful. The olive oil served at the table appears to be of excellent quality, but it must be said that the bread served, while plentiful, isn't particularly tasty. They could do better, perhaps even serve it fresher. The first courses were particularly generous (the photos don't do it justice), very rich, and truly satisfying to eat. We recommend the gnocchi with fish ragù and the spaghetti with sardines, truly with a distinct Sicilian flavor. The octopus from Il Sale (the main course) is cooked very well, leaving a texture that's NOT rubbery but rather soft and flavorful, and its bed of puree is equally excellent; adding a little more octopus would have been the icing on the cake! The desserts are perhaps a bit of a weak point on the menu; they're certainly classics, but they're not particularly imaginative, and most of them are made outside. The chef's cake, made in-house, that evening was a pistachio cheesecake, a wonderful combination of sweet and savory. The prices are absolutely in line with what you get, both in quantity and quality, and the staff is chatty, friendly, and very welcoming. We'll definitely be back!

Nice place, the staff were really friendly. We ate typical Sicilian dishes and really enjoyed them. We'll definitely be back to try everything!
