Vapore In Faggeto lario

Restaurant overlooking the lake with an unparalleled view. Daily menu or à la carte menu, and very fair prices. The decor is a bit dated, but that's a minor detail. Clean bathrooms.

A quiet and beautiful place 🌹 The staff are the best in their dealings and service 💙

I think they try to hard with the menu and should stick to simply fresh italian, and I got a sense a lot of their offering is not fresh food. I had the pumpkin pana cotta with a crisp of cabbage to start, it was very nice. My partners tuna starter was fried and very very oily. The venison stew was tasty but needed perhaps some herbs or a vegetable to freshen up the heaviness and the pasta with beet and duck was almost inedible, and probably one of the worst dishes I’ve ever had a restaurant. Chewy duck and plain pasta with no sauce and pre cooked beet diced on top…the server was doing a great job with many tables. It was cold, so we sat inside, which was pleasant enough but felt a bit dated. Our bill was just under 50pp for a starter and main and sparkling water, no dessert or wine. At that price I expect much more from a restaurant.

So, the appetizer was good and tasty... maybe the second course didn't achieve what was intended... the food was good... but the preparation needs to be reviewed. The dessert didn't arrive.

Vapore restaurant is part of the hotel of the same name and is located in the small village of Torno, on the road from Como to Bellagio. The restaurant features a beautiful and romantic outdoor garden at lake level. Unfortunately, when we were here, it had rained recently that morning, so we couldn't eat outside. The restaurant's interior is very well-appointed, and we enjoyed a pleasant Sunday lunch here. The menu features primarily fish-based dishes, which are carefully served and beautifully presented.

We had a great experience at the Ristorante. Service was very attentive of our needs with a small baby. They provided a high chair and many little attentions throughout the meal, like a free plate of snacks to accompany our drinks (on top of the usual service of bread/cover). The terrace was very romantic with views on the lake. The food itself was pretty good - just don’t expect Michelin star cooking. The prices were also very fair, especially when compared to D-Lounge next door (where we paid almost twice the price for a meal of lesser quality than Vapore). Overall, we thought this was the better choice to dine in Faggeto Lario.

Attentive service and a beautiful view accompanied a creatively prepared dinner.
