La Trattoria Di Nogara Maria In Menaggio

05/10/2025: A great discovery that allowed us to savor the wonderful Sardinian dishes again, just steps from home. Very friendly staff, excellent quality, and generous portions. Awesome!

24/09/2025: The exterior of the location appears poorly maintained, with weeds overgrown on the walls. Inside, as well as outside, the decor needs improvement. The lighting is insufficient. The 70x70cm tables are truly small, with little room for a bread basket, plates, and a place setting consisting of a runner and paper napkin. The service was quick, friendly, but inattentive, even though the restaurant wasn't full. The delicious fish soup, served in a small bowl, with prawns requiring cleaning, was truly a challenge due to the limited space, with splashes of sauce all over you. All you could find was a paper napkin and a few tiny wet wipes. The prawns were not gutted. The fregola, culorgiones, fried food, and desserts were all very good, except for the tiramisu, which lacked a little cream, a lot of Sardinian ladyfingers, and was served with a drizzle of non-dairy cream, which was truly unappealing. You can truly find authentic Sardinian cuisine made with quality ingredients at this restaurant, but the place needs a little more updating. I missed the comfort—there were three of us at a small table—and the atmosphere of sitting at a table and waiting for the moment to taste what you've ordered.
