La Baita In Lanzo d'intelvi

Super positive experience: excellent dishes, everything delicious, from start to finish! Excellent service and very friendly staff. Highly recommended. 😋

A great spot for a quick lunch before continuing on to Balcone d'Italia (about another 2-3 minutes by car), with convenient and ample outdoor parking. The menu is typical mountain fare with some Valtellina influences. The restaurant is all wood and quaint, with beautiful windows. The dishes are well-portioned and generally well-balanced (we weren't crazy about the pizzoccheri, though, nor the pear and chocolate cake). The welcome and treatment of some of the wait staff (I'm especially referring to the lady with very short hair) definitely need improvement. She was completely indifferent to helping us open the front door despite seeing us with a stroller, and was too hasty both in seating us and taking our order (just to ask for a drink, between one word and another she left the table, leaving us alone without being able to complete our order, so much so that we had to turn to another colleague of hers 😅). Prices are definitely fair.

Welcoming atmosphere and excellent service. Truly delicious food and generous portions! Reservations required.

I can't rate the restaurant because it was closed. The place is beautiful from the outside. I passed by on one of my bike rides after a good snowfall. The landscape is surreal and wonderful. At Sighignola there is also a ski lift which, in the months with good snowfall, is also great for having fun with the kids, skiing and private lessons. Highly recommended, but not very big.

We arrived at noon after visiting the Balcony of Italy, three minutes up the road. Beautiful location, just what you'd expect from a mountain hut: plenty of parking and plenty of seating. A warm welcome and simple, polite, and attentive service. I've seen better photos of the dishes I was served. The fried porcini mushrooms weren't great in my case, but still good and not overly greasy. Pizzoccheri were amazing, truly expertly made. The pappardelle with wild boar ragù was a little less so... the pasta was very well cooked, but the ragù was a little bland and lacking, especially compared to some photos I've seen in other reviews. A quart of red wine on tap was good, along with water, coffee, and a shared tiramisu. The cream was very good, and the ladyfingers were barely soaked in the coffee, much to my wife's delight, but not so much mine 😁 All for €46. The price of the individual dishes is a bit high in my opinion, but they're the only ones there, so I'd say they were fair compared to what they could have done. Next time we'll definitely make sure to visit the Balcony of Italy again around noon 😋

Friendly staff, very good food, and reasonable prices...an excellent crotto immersed in a splendid landscape and a great starting point for wonderful walks. Recommended.

Historic mountain hut on top of the mountain where sometimes when it snows heavily there are also ski lifts. It was once an excellent destination for skiing in the Como area. Today only the hut remains, which still offers food such as pizzoccheri sciatt and various potent dishes. Prices are lower than in the city, but still reach 30/40 euros per person.

In short, La Baita is not just a place to eat well, it is a place where you rediscover authentic flavors and live a culinary experience that remains etched in your memory. I can't wait to return!

We stopped for lunch after a view from the Balcony of Italy. Polenta with delicious venison sauce. Pappardelle with wild boar ragù was good, but lacked sauce. Delicious apple strudel. Good coffee. Nice place. We'll definitely be back.

Whether you're on a motorcycle ride or starting a hike, it's worth a stop. Authentic flavors of yesteryear Noteworthy dessert trolley Excellent wine list Quiet location There are also outdoor tables for sunny days, or inside, spacious rooms with a lovely fireplace Excellent service Adequate prices There are two large parking lots
