Locanda dei Bravi In Mandello del lario

I discovered this characteristic inn just by reading the reviews and looking at the photos of the dishes and they really spoke the truth... absolutely try the perch risotto... the starters were all very good and the desserts especially the cinnamon apple therapy. The particular environment, clean and familiar, the owners know how to make you feel at home, they are kind and helpful. Definitely worth trying

I'm sorry not to give the highest rating as we ate very well. I didn't like seeing the manager cleaning a table where customers had just left with their napkins, also it's not nice to see the same person drinking behind the counter (draught beer) I find it unprofessional... needs improvement the service.

Quiet place, family atmosphere with a touch of elegance!

Excellent basil risotto with burrata

What a pleasant surprise! Discovered by chance due to the excellent reviews (when people are honest and correct in their assessments, everyone, customers and restaurateurs, benefits) we were welcomed with great cordiality and kindness by the manager Massimiliano and his collaborator Rosy in a room which is not very large (apart from the external pergola obviously closed in this season) but rustic, well-kept, clean and very welcoming. We tasted the appetizer with venison bresaola, wild boar salametto and other delicacies with the addition of a taste of porcini mushrooms, continuing with pizzoccheri (excellent, with homemade pasta) and risotto with perch (exquisite, perfectly creamed) and ending on a high note with two types of tiramisu, one very well-made classic and the other with a very remarkable marron glacè cream. Pleasant house red wine, water, coffee and bitters for a bill of 34 euros per person, absolutely deserved. We will return to taste the main courses which looked inviting as they passed towards the other tables. Note of merit for very well specified allergens. Congratulations indeed, highly recommended place

We went to this Locanda on a recommendation, simple atmosphere but food and the young lady who served us was very nice We had a cold cuts platter with cheese and one with various salami followed by chestnut tiramisu and a panna cotta with pistachio cream, everything was delicious, I recommend it 100% See you soon and grace

Magical atmosphere, lunch under an old pergola such as is no longer found, excellent and quick service even though it was Sunday, very tasty and well-prepared dishes, generous portions, everything wonderful, definitely worth revisiting.

Authentic setting, impeccable staff and wonderful food. The location is also beautiful, with parking just before and a little further on. We tried the risotto with squid tufts, the buckwheat ravioli with pumpkin cream, the sea bass au gratin with thyme and the scallops with Marsala. I haven't had green beans with butter like this in ages. And all with the fixed price menu!!! Wonderful!!!

We spent a very pleasant evening with friends, pampered by the staff who were very friendly and hospitable. Very good food and quality ingredients. I recommend it to everyone, we will definitely be back.

Great food and extremely helpful and welcoming staff. Highly recommended.
