Villa d'Este In Cernobbio

30/06/2024: Here I found the best risotto I have ever tasted in my life. Every bite is a delight for the senses. This alone is worth the visit. Modern environment, young and well-prepared kids guided us in this experience of games and flavours. I liked some dishes a lot, others didn't convince me but it also depends on personal tastes. The open kitchen also creates direct communication with the staff behind the glass. In the room you can see everything... Even attitudes that aren't exactly starry.

11/06/2024: Truly exceptional experience. The location is very beautiful in its industrial style with particular and witty touches (including bathrooms) that make it welcoming and informal despite the Michelin star. the "enchantment" tasting journey with its paired drinks leaves its mark for goodness, care in the plating, particularity of the flavors where each element is clearly distinguishable on the palate but none dominates creating a perfect balance. the combination with the drinks which completes and enhances the dish is particular and very apt. the other thing that amazes and makes the experience truly unique is the kindness, friendliness and professionalism of all the very young but at the same time highly trained staff. Even the friendliness and simplicity of the young and brilliant chef Davide Marzullo, who welcomed us at the beginning of the evening and said goodbye at the end, was a sign for us that customer attention is one of the restaurant's priorities. A special applause then goes to those who take care of the leavened products and desserts which are truly special.
