Osteria Sali e Tabacchi In Mandello del lario

A hidden gem in a wonderful village. Refined and delicate dinner. Kind and professional staff. We will be back soon.

Very fresh, delicious, traditional food. Lovely atmosphere and friendly service.

Tried it for dinner on Valentine's Day. Perhaps influenced by overly high expectations stemming from a recent article in a well-known national newspaper, the experience wasn't thrilling. The quality of the ingredients used is undeniable, but I personally found the dishes lacking in refinement and personality. The location could be improved. The wine list is good, but the labels (at least for the Piedmontese wines I know) are markedly overpriced.

A charming osteria in a beautiful village, with a view of the lake and mountains, delicious, fresh food at fair prices. The service is attentive and very friendly, and it's definitely become one of our top picks!

Excellent food and very welcoming staff. It felt like home. We'll be back. See you soon.

A fantastic experience from beginning to end. The accommodation was welcoming, clean, and with every detail meticulously attended to. Ideal for relaxing and unwinding. The restaurant was spectacular: delicious dishes, high-quality ingredients, and excellent service. A place we will definitely return to. Highly recommended!

A delightful discovery. I was in Mandello for a visit to relatives, looking for somewhere to have lunch, and without a reservation (Sunday lunchtime), they sat me at a comfortable table near the counter. The dishes are few, but truly well-made, featuring local flavors (Minsoltini, Persico, Lavarello, etc.), but with a contemporary twist. The portions are fairly generous, the wine list is decent (it's an Osteria, after all), and the service is fast and always smiling, despite the restaurant being full. My compliments!

I'd already been there a couple of years ago for Christmas dinner, and the atmosphere was nothing short of magical. It truly feels like home. The staff's hospitality and warmth are unparalleled: they immediately make you feel at ease. They cater to every need, especially for those with gluten intolerance: you can sense their care and professionalism in every detail. And the food... simply amazing, every dish is a surprise, prepared with the freshest ingredients and so much love. I've never tasted such perfectly balanced and thoughtful flavors. What struck me most is that they support local businesses and the Slow Food movement. A perfect experience in every way: service, atmosphere, and cuisine. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special evening.

On a day that seems to be almost autumn, a warm note. Everything was delicious, dishes with a taste of the lake and mountains of yesteryear. A family atmosphere and attention to detail in each dish, we were satisfied! We will definitely be back.

A charming osteria located in a hamlet of Mandello del Lario. Clean and tidy, with friendly and helpful staff. The food is delicious and typical of the area. I recommend going there.
