La Darsena In Como

27/10/2024: Located on a nice side street. with a wonderful lake view - from the terrace. The terrace is protected from the weather, so it is also open in October. The restaurant is simple but good. It offers a really good 2-course lunch with water and café for €13. The owner is grumpy, but usually stands at the stove, which is a good thing. He can cook. The pizza is also delicious. The service is provided with commitment by very friendly employees with a migration background. Tables and rooms and of course the terrace are clean. Maybe the boss only looks at me grumpily because I judge him ungraciously when he sits down at the next table with his cigarette. I've been going to lunch for years because it's good and filling. You have to look for parking spaces along the street. A little difficult in high season but possible. What's great about the location is that the museum "Museo della Barca Lariana" is right next to it. Stunning!! Completely inconspicuous from the outside, one surprise after another inside. Even the only Porsche boat engine can be seen (1964?). The Spinacker restaurant and the museum are closed in the winter months even though they have nothing to do with each other.

13/09/2024: We went there three times during our vacation and always felt warmly welcomed. Super nice service, very good cuisine (excellent pizza), homemade tiramisu and Creme Catalan also recommended! You can also get a view of Lake Como, again and again.
