T	Terence Hooi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The seafood pasta was very good. Very hard to fault, the big prawn cooked perfectly and very flavoursome. Looking around, most people had ordered it too. A pretty common dish in the area of Como done well.
I	Imane Rachidi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Tourist trap, extremely expensive, as we only ordered a salad to share, and one main dish each, with a glass of house wine, and we ended up paying 95 euros. The food taste is average. Nice location.
D	Daniele Casella on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Food normal but not special, but really really worst the way they treat us in a romantic dinner me and my wife plus the friends behind us, had the same worst treatment in the normal day week. The waitress Daniela was fantastic and lovely. She let us have a better moment.
D	Diana Domingo on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The staffs are really friendly. I had octopus with a little bit dried potatoes. My friends got lasagna (portion is too small) and an amazing linguine. We had tapwater for €2.
E	Elizabeth Kingsbury on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Food was superb! Outdoor seating area was just so wonderful & relaxing! Husband’s beer was served in a wine glass! Our server Pasquale (the owner) was a bit grouchy & was not impressed that my husband ordered beer instead of wine.. but overall friendly. Can’t say enough about the food ???❤️?
R	Román Gómez on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Low quality food, very rude waiter, never come back again. I was close to stand up and leave, when I kindly asked the wine menu and the old man waiter made gestures of slowing down. I saw him drinking and eating all the time. Besides, tables are just one next to another, just 5 cm distance.
S	Silvia Holerga on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Mostly mediocre food, but excellent setting and good ambiance. The prices extremely high, refusal to give us normal, tap water to drink next to our already expensive dinner that included appetizers, main dish and a bottle of local wine (charged us 3€instead for what was clearly tap water put into a nice bottle - no lable.. no nothing on the bottle.. not even a cap came with it) Appetizers - we had the seafood salad to share. It had shrimps and octopus on top of out of the bag, store bought, ready salad mix. The only nice twist were the pomengrade seeds and some rosted almonds. Mediocre at best.. not worth the 15€ they priced it at. Main dish: My husband had the mix seafood and fish fried dish (fritto misto) and in the evening he had severe stomach problems. I had the homemade pasta filled with ricotta and fresh basil, topped with sliced tomatoes and parmesan cheese - it was a delight.. fresh, light... a joy to eat! Local wine - decent (too strong and with a vinegary aftertaste) ... exorbitantly priced at 55€/500ml Ambiance very cozy terrace with white table cloths and napkins, dim lights.. very romantic. Service- it was mix. We had two ladies.. complete opposites.. one nice and smiling.. the other really unhappy to do anything.
T	Teena Kurisinkal on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Cute restaurant in Como. I think family owned, with the owner still taking orders and bringing out the orders :) Food was nice too. We ordered - Linguine allo scoglio (mixed seafood) - Linguine all’astice bellavista (lobster) - Spiedini di calamari a gamberi gratinati al forno (squid and shrimp skewers) - Grigliata di pesce misto (mixed grilled fish) The mixed grilled fish is actually various types of seafood (fish, octopus, shrimp) but my friend was quite happy with it. The skewers are a rather small portion for a second course meal in comparison to the grilled fish platter or the Linguine pasta from first course (just 4 skewers in total, i.e. 2 of each type). With regards to the Linguine: the basis for the sauce seems to have been the same. The lobster in itself was nice, and came wit the required utensils. But with regards to the pasta, we all prefered the one with mixed seafood over the linguine with lobster, as there was more flavor mixed into the sauce from the variety of seafood in the linguine.
