13/04/2025: Thanks for excellent service and delicious food.

04/04/2025: The owner, very kind, found a solution for us as three of us arrived without having booked and the place was fully booked. The pizza is excellent and there is a good choice of desserts.

20/03/2025: Pizza always TOP Friendly staff RECOMMENDED

10/03/2025: Nice restaurant with pleasant service. I recommend the pizzas which are exceptional!

02/03/2025: I ordered seafood pasta, but it smelled like rotten clams, so I didn't eat it.

08/03/2025: Con la mia famiglia siamo arrivati per caso per pranzo in questo bel ristorante con terrazza sul lago dove abbiamo mangiato. Molto buono il servizio, veloci gentili e professionali. Abbiamo preso degli spaghetti alle vongole (molto buoni), perfettamente al dente e delle cotolette alla Milanese con lo spessore giusto, fritte benissimo con la panatura fatta molto bene. Complimenti a tutto lo staff

17/01/2025: Excellent restaurant, excellent quality and variety of pizzas, first and second courses of meat and fish.

16/03/2025: Discover a hidden treasure of a restaurant in Menaggio! Everybody congregates in the Piazza of Menaggio, but that is not where you should look for an outstanding restaurant. While the main square of Menaggio is very crowded, I recommend you take a seven minute stroll along the lake by the Grand Hotel Victoria and toward the Minigolf. Somewhat hidden behind the Minigolf is the restaurant La Grolla that offers lunch and dinner during the summer season (April to beginning of November). The view of the lake from the outdoor garden section of La Grolla is unique with the Alps in the north and Varenna and Bellagio across the lake. - Many tables outside of the enclosed restaurant are right at the lake. Since my first review La Grolla has changed in a couple of good ways: First, before the 2024 season the restaurant went through an extensive refinishing process: the old bathroom was gutted and replaced with two modern bathrooms: One simple bathroom with a sink. On of the bathrooms is equipped for handicapped patrons. Visitors with babies will find a changing table. Also, the dining area in the building has been refinished into an open area. On three sides large windows and glass doors let diners enjoy the view of the lake and mountains of the area. The other major change is a new head of the kitchen. Now Giuseppe Odda runs the show, offering a nice choice of appetizers, salads, first and main courses, as well as desserts (s. photos below). Both my visitors and I have found that just one appetizer or a first or main course are sufficient by themselves as a meal but I'm not a growing teenager. Pizza has been eliminated from the menu. Waiting staff has always been attentive and helpful. The menu features a large variety of fish dishes. Fregola, a Sardinian dish featuring a variety of seafood (shellfish, shrimps, a whole crab) on a bed of special pasta has become a favorite among my guests at La Grolla. Other dishes are on the menu, with Sea Bass, Turbot, even Lobster, some with meat. If you wish to eat a plain dish of pasta with a tomato sauce you can just ask for that. It isn't on the menu but some of my guests were asking for it and the kitchen obliged. (Be patient if the restaurant is very crowded if you ask for something that is not on the menu.) In my experience - and I've been a frequent visitor of La Grolla over the years - has been that special preferences due to allergies have been complied with graciously. While I usually don't drink wine, my guests have always been very happy with the selection of the wines. Wine is offered by the bottle or by the glass. Little secret: The bread offered by La Grolla comes in small round pieces with a soft part inside and a crunchy crust. Ends of the long loaves aren't normally served. My wife and I love bread crusts; hence I requested to be served just ends of loaves. I can't wait to return to La Grolla!

16/03/2025: ¡Descubre un tesoro escondido de un restaurante en Menaggio! Todo el mundo se congrega en la Piazza de Menaggio, pero no es ahí donde se debe buscar un restaurante sobresaliente. Mientras que la plaza principal de Menaggio está muy concurrida, le recomiendo dar un paseo de siete minutos a lo largo del lago por el Grand Hotel Victoria y hacia el Minigolf. Algo escondido detrás del Minigolf se encuentra el restaurante La Grolla que ofrece almuerzos y cenas durante la temporada de verano (abril a principios de noviembre). La vista del lago desde la sección de jardín al aire libre de La Grolla es única con los Alpes en el norte y Varenna y Bellagio al otro lado del lago. - Muchas mesas fuera del restaurante cerrado están justo en el lago. Desde mi primera opinión La Grolla ha cambiado en un par de buenas maneras: En primer lugar, antes de la temporada 2024 el restaurante pasó por un extenso proceso de remodelación: el antiguo baño fue destripado y reemplazado por dos baños modernos: Un baño sencillo con lavabo. Uno de los baños está equipado para los clientes discapacitados. Los visitantes con bebés encontrarán un cambiador. Además, el comedor del edificio ha sido remodelado en un área abierta. En tres lados grandes ventanales y puertas de cristal permiten a los comensales disfrutar de la vista del lago y las montañas de la zona. El otro cambio importante es un nuevo jefe de la cocina. Ahora Giuseppe Odda dirige el espectáculo, ofreciendo una buena selección de aperitivos, ensaladas, primeros y platos principales, así como postres (fotos abajo). Tanto mis visitantes como yo hemos descubierto que solo un aperitivo o un primer plato o plato principal son suficientes por sí mismos como comida, pero no soy un adolescente en crecimiento. La pizza ha sido eliminada del menú. El personal de camarera siempre ha sido atento y servicial. El menú ofrece una gran variedad de platos de pescado. Fregola, un plato sardo con una variedad de mariscos (mariscos, camarones, un cangrejo entero) en una cama de pasta especial se ha convertido en uno de mis invitados favoritos en La Grolla. Otros platos están en el menú, con lubina, Turbot, incluso langosta, algunos con carne. Si desea comer un plato de pasta con salsa de tomate, puede pedirlo. No está en el menú, pero algunos de mis invitados lo estaban pidiendo y la cocina obligada. (Ten paciencia si el restaurante está muy lleno si pides algo que no está en el menú. ) En mi experiencia -y he sido un visitante frecuente de La Grolla a lo largo de los años- ha sido que las preferencias especiales debido a las alergias se han cumplido amablemente. Aunque normalmente no bebo vino, mis invitados siempre han estado muy contentos con la selección de los vinos. El vino se ofrece por botella o por copa. Pequeño secreto: El pan que ofrece La Grolla viene en pequeños trozos redondos con una parte suave en su interior y una corteza crujiente. Los extremos de los panes largos normalmente no se sirven. A mi esposa y a mí nos encantan las costras de pan; por eso solicité que me sirvieran solo extremos de panes.

08/04/2025: I had dinner this evening with the rest of the cast, Angelo welcomed us in a nice, professional way and treated us like "friends" customers! very good!!!👏 Keep going! Thank you, Felix (the first to enter and sit immediately on the right...)

01/04/2025: Delicious food, quick and professional service. Good price

29/12/2024: Excellent for location and view. Generic restaurant with Italian and tourist menu; good dishes and non-Neapolitan pizza, but well executed. Prices normal

30/11/2024: Special place. Magnificent location. Very good pizza. Fantastic staff Always the top 🍕

20/03/2025: Everything perfect as always...

11/03/2025: Back again... Great food. Great service. Natural, simple ingredients with great fresh flavors. Black tagliatelle with red prawns then, the branzino, the best!

30/03/2025: We had a great meal. This restaurant tends to be not as busy as some others close by (if you don’t know about it) because the amazing patio is hidden from view. They had a 2 or 3 course option with a lot of flexibility in how you pair the courses. Tons of nice wines. The wine I got by the glass was great (a local white) could be a bit cheaper would have been nice. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back. As a bonus, they have a peakaboo view of the lake from a few tables and probably more shade in the summer when vines are green.

28/03/2025: We had a wonderful evening and surprisingly one of the best steaks we have ever had in all of our travels, Peter Lugers of NYC included. I definitely was not expecting to find such a wonderful steak in Bellagio but it was perfectly cooked and melted in your mouth! The service was wonderful as well and I would recommend if you are tired of pasta and pizza to give their meat of the day a try.

11/04/2025: Very GOOD food, courteous staff, beautiful view, the restaurant is located on the path that leads from the end of the Greenway (in Mezzegra do not go down to the lake) both to the sanctuary of Madonna San Martino (overlooking Griante) and to the little chapel of the Alpini where I went today (a little chapel that I didn't know about. I thank the restaurant staff 💃💃 for the report) the little chapel of the Alpini (last 3 photos) is about 30 minutes from the restaurant, San Martino sanctuary (spectacular 😀😀) about 50 minutes. Unfortunately today the weather was cloudy and the photos 😭, this morning I started from Colonno (start of Greenway) and after about 10/12 km (💯💯 😃😃) I arrived at this restaurant that I didn't know. Well done

04/04/2025: Excellent antipasto Decent braised beef, nothing more Very good roasted rabbit Very good tiramisu The rosé (there is only one bottle on the menu) ok Setting of the room with a view of the lake very good Very pleasant restaurant (you have to make the effort to go there because it is far from the main roads)

29/03/2025: To say my experience here was excellent would be an understatement. As someone with a gluten allergy I was grateful for the extensive, delicious gluten free options — it was one of my favorite meals of my trip. I also can’t say enough about the tremendous service. I had the misfortune of fainting while at the restaurant and the staff could not have been kinder — sat me in front of the fan, got me water with sugar, etc. Very deeply kind and left an imprint. Will be back on my next visit!

25/03/2025: Ate here today. Partner and I had a pizza each as well as the ravioli, and bread. Everything was delicious. Great and friendly service too. Couldn’t ask for more and will be hard to beat during our trip, the pizzas had so much flavour. Thank you ☺️ EDIT - we went back here to eat on our last day and my partner tried a different pizza. Again everything was delicious.

28/03/2025: All very good. I highly recommend the walnut and zola risotto!! The homemade tiramisu is also very good. I recommend everything!!

23/03/2025: A wonderful place is an understatement!!! The food is simply delicious, the service is very nice 👌 I recommend it, we will definitely come back 😘

13/04/2025: Nice pizza, Delicious desserts (I recommend torta pera ricotta) and amazing wiew!

12/01/2025: Location fuori dagli schemi essendo in un hotel con centro padel. Nonostante ciò la sala ristorante molto intima e carina. Servizio impeccabile e chef all altezza del suo nome. Siamo stati felici di aver ritrovato a como qualcuno che offre eccellenze a tavola e non il solito menù attira turisti con prezzi alle stelle. Bravo e grazie chef Caffara. Torneremo presto.
