I migliori ristorantinella città Brienno della Como

17/08/2025: Before 19:00 they do not serve pizza. So we only drank a bottle of house wine and fried patatoes , which was 15 euro . Them we paid 10 euro couverture I think it was a bit ridiculous

14/08/2025: We booked a Sunday evening with friends on the terrace overlooking the lake. The pizza didn't live up to my expectations, but the service was quick and the staff were friendly. Prices were reasonable. The only problem was finding parking; we had to leave the car quite a ways away from the restaurant/pizzeria. It's best to get there by motorbike.

24/08/2025: We booked a table for three at Crotto dei Platani to celebrate my fiancé’s birthday, with a reservation at 8:00 PM. Out of concern that the restaurant would charge €90 for not showing up on time, we arrived at 7:30, right when it opened. Unfortunately, the welcome we received was anything but warm. We kindly asked for a table on the lower terrace — the one with flowers and a romantic atmosphere — which was visibly available. However, instead of accommodating us, we were seated on a separate terrace where there were no other guests. While the table overlooked Lake Como, the view was spoiled by a broken wire fence behind us, giving more the impression of a storage yard than of a so-called fine dining restaurant. We had only wanted to order dessert, since we had dined elsewhere a few hours earlier. The waiters’ attitude was dismissive and condescending when we requested this, as if serving only dessert was beneath them. Their behavior was unwelcoming and far from what one would expect in a restaurant that markets itself as high-end. We ordered a tiramisu, a crème brûlée, a lava cake, and a cocktail (though the menu is almost exclusively wine). The desserts were ordinary — plated nicely, yes, but nothing remarkable in taste or quality, certainly not worth the price. Overall, our experience was disastrous from beginning to end. Crotto dei Platani is not fine dining — it is, unfortunately, a tourist trap dressed up as something it is not. My advice to anyone considering a reservation here: if you want a beautiful view of Lake Como, there are far better options — more affordable, genuinely welcoming, and with food that lives up to the promise.

21/08/2025: I had a divine meal, and the staff was incredibly kind and attentive. Special thanks to Pietro, from Argegno, who served us excellent coffee with a smile and made our day a joyous one.
