12/04/2026: We had dinner last night and had a wonderful time. Accompanied by a light breeze, we began the evening with an aperitif on the new outdoor veranda with a splendid view of the lake. Accompanied by the wine tasting room, we sensed great passion and dedication to the work. We then dined in the same room surrounded by fine bottles of wine, rare, renowned, or younger, but all carefully selected. The tagliolini of local products was a must, but the mouth-watering fresh pasta, thinly sliced and accompanied by porcini mushrooms from the Valle dei Ratti, was a rare treat! The beef fillet, deliciously cooked and accompanied by a bottle of Valtellina Superiore della Val di Gella (adopt a vineyard), made all the difference.
The dessert finale, paired with Braulio, was a must! The chef's passion and professionalism were evident! We will definitely be returning.

12/04/2026: There are places that surprise you even before you arrive, and the "La Trela" restaurant overlooking Lake Novate Mezzola is one of them. The road leading uphill already creates a special atmosphere, transporting you away from the hustle and bustle of Lake Como to an intimate and charming corner.
The setting is elegant, with meticulous attention to detail, with lighting and atmospheres that envelop you and make you feel immediately at ease. We dined in the cellar, a private and unique space, a few tables surrounded by bottles that tell stories and make the experience even more special.
The cuisine was impeccable: refined dishes, carefully presented, and of the highest quality. The meeting with the "chef" was also unforgettable, as he passionately explained his locally sourced wine to us, making the evening even more authentic.
The view from the lakeside terrace completes an inspiring experience. An elegant and intimate place, perfect for those who truly want to escape. Happy to have discovered it, absolutely recommended to those looking for something special.
