Ristorante Da Giovannino In Malgrate

Amazing food and vibe. Stunning view to the lake como

Beautiful scenery, peaceful place, and wonderful food.

Lakeside restaurant in Malgrate. The staff is young, friendly, and helpful. The dishes are delicious.

Staff is super friendly! Environment very cosy. Just the icecold mozzarella on our pizza was a bit of a surprise.

I've been to Da Giovannino and had a very positive experience. The wait staff is very kind, attentive, and attentive, without ever being intrusive: truly meticulous service. The prices are in line with other restaurants in the area and absolutely consistent with the setting and the quality offered. The quality of the dishes is beyond dispute: I found everything fresh, well-prepared, and of excellent quality. The wine was also good; the only small complaint was the glass, which seemed more like a half-glass than a glass... but that's really the only thing that could be improved. The added bonus is undoubtedly the spectacular view of the lake, right in front, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. The setting is refined, with soft music and a relaxing atmosphere. Parking: There are several nearby, although it must be said that, being a very touristy area, it can be difficult to find in high season. Overall, a restaurant I recommend for its quality, service, and location.

Stunning lakeside location. Fabulous first course and cheeses. The cod was raw and barely visible. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The first courses were truly excellent, but the second courses were not. But the cheese platter was sublime.

Had a lovely time. Decided to try something different from pizza for a change, and was happily surprised. The cotoletta alla milanese was delicious, I love the sweet sauce on the side as well. The potatoes were a bit burned and unsalted, they could’ve been crispier or with more flavour, but great nevertheless. Ordered a Diavola as well, which was not the best, overall good. Made sure to try the chocolate mousse, which was surprisingly amazing, love the combination with orange. The staff was super friendly as well!! The only thing that was a bit underwhelming was the light, I gotta say. We were placed on a table below a bright white light, which is a big no for me in restaurants. They take away the coziness and fancy vibe of such a beautiful place. I recommend sticking to the dimmed table lamps I saw on some tables, they make all the difference.

I went last night and I have to say it's worth it. I gave it all these stars because it really deserves it. I ate really well, it wasn't heavy at all, everything light and delicious. Both my brother and I complimented the very kind staff and the beautiful and welcoming atmosphere with a beautiful lake view. I just tell you to try it and enjoy the dishes you order and you won't regret it at all. We'll be back, my brother and I will gladly return and can't wait to go back. I repeat, for me it deserves all these stars.

Welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and excellent food... congratulations...

A top-notch experience in an intimate yet informal setting... a restaurant with excellent products and excellent value... and let's not forget the view... priceless... as I always say, seeing is believing... Thanks to the chef and staff for a wonderful evening. We'll be back.
