However either we were there on a bad day or previous reviewers have never had good pizza...but our pizza was awful! The restaurant is right on the Lake, so great views, and the service was slow but pleasant. But the pizzas were like something you would buy in a supermarket back home the base was thin, hard and tasteless, and the toppings were inferior quality. The dough was fresh about 6 months ago and had been frozen of course. We are in Italy 8 times a year and my husband is from Naples, and this was the worst pizza we've had for years! It was also overpriced I mean drinks at 4.50€ for a coke is ridiculous! Don't bother to come here except for the views!

Excellent choice of dishes on the menu so had pizza one night and pasta the other. Good range of the different Peroni beers on the drinks menu. Don't be fooled that it doesn't look as glamorous as some of the neighbouring restaurants, the food and service is top notch. The waiting staff are so friendly and welcoming. Easy to find as a few doors along from the funicular railway with excellent panoramic views of the lake. If ever you are in Como, you must eat here.

The outdoor tables were right at the lakeside with wonderful views. On the first evening i enjoyed the saffron and seafood ravioli, which was just gorgeous. We also enjoyed a variety of cracking desserts, backed up by some complimentary limoncellos. The second evening I chomped my way through a massive seafood pizza, leaving no room for dessert this time. The staff were friendly and helpful, moving round tables to accommodate our large group, and the food quality was absolutely great.

Delicious food and professional staff! Pizza was tasty and shrimps ravioli had a perfect balanced taste! read more Delicious food and professional staff! Pizza was tasty and shrimps ravioli had a perfect balanced taste!

The drinks cost €9 each. Another day we went for lunch, which was also very good, although the prices are a bit high.
