I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Como

27/06/2026: I dined at this pizzeria with a group of 9, with a reservation for 8:30 PM. We arrived slightly early and were seated around 8:15 PM; our order was taken around 8:30 PM. At that point, we were told, in a less than friendly tone, that there would be "at least a half-hour wait" for the pizzas. Recognizing the situation, we ordered anyway and, to pass the time, ordered fries and beers. However, the timing turned out to be quite different from what was indicated: the pizzas arrived after about an hour, around 9:30 PM. Even more unfortunate was the fact that an à la carte dish, ordered by one of the group and which should have arrived with the pizzas, was served only around 9:50 PM, by which time it was too late and had not even been consumed. It's true that the dish was removed from the bill, but there was a complete lack of customer service: no apology, no explanation, no gesture to make up for the poor service. The pizza itself was decent, nothing exceptional, but the service organization leaves much to be desired. I get the feeling that they take more reservations than the restaurant can actually handle, resulting in long waits and inconvenience for customers. Unfortunately, for me, it wasn't a positive experience, and I won't be returning.

18/06/2026: I found a pubic hair on my pizza

15/07/2026: A very nice local restaurant with good food

02/07/2026: A real Italian restaurant, close to the cathedral. Excellent flavors, special dishes at a fair price.

11/04/2026: Very nice restaurant, excellent food, the owner is very nice, as is the entire staff.

06/04/2026: We went for dinner. It was nice and warm, and we were able to sit outside on the terrace. A wonderful wisteria, with fairy lights. A very intimate atmosphere. Above all, for me, GF 2026 certified. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the staff is VERY friendly and attentive to any potential contamination. They give you all the necessary instructions.

29/06/2026: The food was very good, a great option for ordering local dishes. And don't forget to pair them with a good wine 🍷 🫣

26/06/2026: Really nice wine shop with large selection of local options, close to the centre of Cuomo. Staff/owner was helpful and spoke good English to guide us to the right choices.

02/04/2026: A charming restaurant serving authentic local Italian cuisine, featuring a wonderful selection of house-made cheeses. The soup is rich and flavorful, while the hot dishes are perfectly prepared and deeply satisfying. The desserts are truly fantastic, offering a delightful finish to the meal. A warm and inviting place to enjoy a memorable dining experience.

02/04/2026: Kindness, hospitality and good traditional food

03/05/2026: We had reserved a table at this restaurant for our last evening at Lake Como. Our expectations were quite high due to the good reviews. We got a table right by the water. When we opened the menu, the prices initially shocked us. Yes, Lake Como is expensive, and we're happy to spend more for good food... but paying almost €30 for a 'normal' pasta dish was still a bit much. Well, since it was our last evening, we ordered what we fancied anyway (one pasta with pistachio cream and prawns, one fish with a side dish). Both were €30 each, plus a side salad (which consisted of just a few green leaves, some other carelessly arranged bits and pieces, and far too much dressing made from plain yogurt). This salad then cost an unbelievable €14. A bottle of wine started at €30 (online price €12). To our disappointment, the food didn't really live up to expectations. My pasta tasted of absolutely nothing. It was so bland that any homemade sauce would taste better. There were a maximum of three prawns on the plate, cut into tiny pieces. My partner's fish was lukewarm. For the price, we simply expected more. The only time anyone asked if everything was okay was at the very end, when the table was finally cleared. I said "well," and poof, the plates were gone, and no one asked any further questions. The female server (with short hair on the sides) was very friendly. The male server (with a larger belly), on the other hand, seemed forcedly friendly and was rather unpleasant. We definitely wouldn't come back. Yes, the view was nice, but you can get that almost anywhere on Lake Como.

03/05/2026: The food was amazing The drinks too

26/07/2026: We stopped in for pizza, pasta, and wine and had a wonderful meal. Everything was delicious, the service was friendly, and the lakeside atmosphere made the experience even better. A great spot in Como.

25/07/2026: Great restaurant in a prime location, the food was incredibly delicious, and the staff was quick, attentive, and friendly. We'll definitely be back!

18/05/2026: We stayed at the family run Albergo Il Vapore for 2 nights and the hospitality we had from Pinuccia and Simone was second to none. The evening dinner at the restaurant we had was so good we ate there 2 nights in a row! The fresh pasta and fish dishes were deliciously prepared by the chef Simone.... make sure to book if eating here as its very popular! Highly recommended!

15/05/2026: Had the absolute best lunch here with my wife during our time in Lake Como. Albergo Il Vapore is everything you hope to find in Italy — authentic, family-run, warm, and completely unforgettable. The setting in the heart of Menaggio is beautiful, but it’s the atmosphere and homemade food that truly make this place special. Every dish tasted like it was made with genuine care and tradition. Fresh pasta, incredible flavors, simple ingredients done perfectly — the kind of meal that reminds you why Italian cuisine is loved around the world. You can feel the passion in every plate. The service was equally wonderful: welcoming, relaxed, and genuinely kind, making us feel more like guests in someone’s home than customers at a restaurant. What we loved most was how authentic everything felt. No tourist traps, no unnecessary fuss — just outstanding food, a charming atmosphere, and a memorable experience shared together. Easily one of the highlights of our entire trip and without question the best lunch we had in Italy. If you’re visiting Menaggio, do yourself a favor and eat here. We’ll be talking about this meal for a very long time.

17/07/2026: Luca was an amazing, polite waiter, and made our experience perfect. The view from the restaurant was amazing and the food was even better! We look forward to coming back again🙂

20/06/2026: Great ambience and service, truly lovely staff. The food was honestly very underwhelming. It was mostly nicely plated dishes but bland. We had a raw dish appetizer with an herb sauce, it was fine, fish was fresh but needed some salt and acid. The pasta in brodo was the star, actually no complaints there. The special of the day was a red snapper with a butter clam sauce and it was quite terrible. Fish was not cooked well, felt like it was out waiting to be taken to the table for too long. The clam butter sauce curdled and didn’t even taste clams. An expensive restaurant that delivers on ambience and service but you would likely have a better meal from a to-go pizza store.

25/02/2026: Excellent food, but it's the soul of the place that makes the difference. The paella is exquisite and the meat is superb!!! Matteo and his partner make you feel like guests more than customers: he's down-to-earth, friendly, and like one of the family. We left with a smile and a free bag of herbs for our herbal tea, a truly thoughtful touch. Definitely book a table to enjoy this carefree experience. We'll definitely be back.

18/01/2026: Had dinner last night at this restaurant recommended by friends. Excellent food and very kind owners, you feel right at home.

17/05/2026: We booked at La Corte with high expectations and were disappointed. The dishes we chose didn't match those in the reviews, specifically the octopus and fried fish, but we understand that places remain the same and the chefs change. The requirement to order two fried dishes is also incomprehensible... it's a rule that applies to risottos, but I've never experienced this with other dishes. Furthermore, the fried food tasted very fried, and the batter flavor prevailed. The wine list is nothing exceptional... Our negative review doesn't apply to the service, which was very professional.

14/05/2026: Great food and beautiful location

19/05/2026: Beautifully presented dishes. Professional waitress.

19/05/2026: We spent two nights about ten days ago at this hotel and thoroughly enjoyed it. Perched right on the lake, its location is ideal. The room we were given wasn't quite right, but for a small extra charge, we were given another. It was large, clean, well-equipped, and perfect, with a view of the lake. Just a hundred meters from the dock where you can take a boat trip around the lake, stopping at various ports of call, you eventually reach Bellagio, a charming little town. In short, I highly recommend this hotel. I should add that the owner, a Frenchman, was welcoming and friendly.

06/02/2026: We had our wedding rehearsal dinner here in 2015 and we try to come back every year. In those 10 years, the food, service and atmosphere have never dipped below 5 stars. They were very accommodating and really went above and beyond for our rehearsal dinner and remember us every year. Hopefully we're lucky enough to go for another 10 years!

02/02/2026: Excellent choice for a corporate event. Beautiful setting and good food.

31/07/2025: It's my favorite place. I always leave delighted. Everything is always delicious and very well prepared. The fruit sorbets are exceptional.

25/07/2025: Nice place and very good food, I recommend it

14/07/2026: Beautiful place on the lake, the food is really good!!!

11/07/2026: The location is good and I can therefore understand why people are attracted there. The meat was raw. The pasta with octopus had VERY little octopus. The pizza that had been ordered did not arrive until 15 minutes after the other food. The waiters did not seem to be present and we had to help ourselves. Do yourself a favor and avoid this restaurant.
