I migliori ristorantinella città Varenna della Lecco

30/03/2024: The servers are not really competent and yet there are 3 of them with a terrace that is not full. The service is more than slow and unfortunately industrial desserts for a slightly high price. Tourist trap

27/11/2023: **WE WERE NOT CHARGED FOR THE AFFECTED DISHES** We stopped for lunch at Nilus Bar because it was the only restaurant open in the village. We ordered 2 traditional bruschettas which arrived promptly. The bread was thin and completely soaked with water from the chopped tomatoes. Price tag €7.50 each. We then ordered: Pappardelle with pesto sauce and crunch y bacon €16 Lasagna x2 €12 each Crêpes Zucchine €13 The Pappardelle were extremely oily and with strange tasting vegetables. After a couple of mouthfuls, we found a piece of hair well intertwined with the pasta. The lasagna servings were microwaved. They were extremely hot inside and cold on the outside. There was no trace of meat, and one of us found a piece of plastic in it. YES PLASTIC!! We stopped eating and called the waiter/manager immediately, to inform them of the nice surprises we found in our plates. The lady inspected the plates and recognised that there was indeed a hair and a piece of plastic in them. She apologised and explained that the plastic was probably from the lids used to cover the lasagna in the fridge (!) and that the hair must have been carried by the wind (!)… Jokingly we asked: is there wind in the kitchen?? And how strong was the wind for the hair to wrap itself around pappardelle??? She understood that we were not happy with her explanation and walked off. When the bill arrived we saw that the two lasagnas and the pappardelle, which we left nearly untouched, had not been added to the bill. Although they were honest, I think they should monitor the kitchen more closely. The restaurant is in a nice location, with amazing views of the lake, and it’s a shame that the food they serve is not up to standards. Please do better!!

05/04/2024: Really great food, staff were very busy but still managed to find time to offer great service- food was the cheapest by miles we could find in Varenna, and was also great. Really nice stone building with a good atmosphere and better music.

04/04/2024: You enter the restaurant and the first thing they tell you is that "you have to wait 40 minutes, we sit down and we have to order the menu. Then they give me the notebook and the pen so I can write down what I want to order, that note goes to the kitchen but well, and the boy leaves and leaves us there with the note. They don't tell us anything about drinking and they keep us there waiting, the waiter passes by, I raise my hand and say "excuse me" he looks at me and continues forward. After all, I have to get up, I ask for a 1l water and my surprise comes when they give me a small 330cl bottle and charge me €2 for it. On top of that they brought me another different pizza when I put speck e zola and they brought me another one. We see Italian people paying with a card, so I say "ok, you can with a card" and what is my surprise? When we have finished eating, I tell him with a card and he tells me that there isn't any, that it has to be cash, and we tell him that we have seen that if there is a card, it was either that or we didn't pay because we no longer had any cash left. . I don't recommend going here
