La Vecchina - Moltrasio

So special place,,,, so friendly, so amazing Homefood, wine, beer etc... I just love this place! and truly recommended!

Family owned and run, this tiny cafe, close to the boat landing, was the Italy we were looking for. We had to use Google Translate (which worked well for us) and, having seen some portions being served were able to ask for half portions of spaghetti. The dish was perfect simple and delicious spaghetti, cherry tomatoes (both halved and diced) fresh basil, small balls of fresh mozzarella, olive oil and seasoning. I tried to replicate it at home but I think only true Italians can get it right and it must be served in a charming trattoria in Italy! We topped our meal off with gelato not made in house, but made locally with local ingredients from old recipes. We asked about the name The Old Lady and the co owner (Debhora Parravicini, who owns the cafe with her brother Marco) said it was an homage to their grandmother who started the business in 1940 as a small shop and bakery. We loved it. Had we not been leaving the next morning it would have been our go to again!

We popped in for an icecream today, then stayed for a coffee, then lunch as it looked so good. We picked lasagne and it was delicious, served with some delicious snacks. Really well priced too. Friendly staff and unpretentious. Loved it and will be coming back before we leave Moltrasio.

This is a great spot. At first I felt like I was in cafe:deli. They had excellent cocktail menu and no where near like home on alcohol in drink. You get a very generous amount in your drink. We had 2 each and a panini!! 36 Euros. The staff was owners very very nice welcoming. I can’t say enough about it. It was that good. They just need to tweak the Atmosphere. Decor great just maybe need music. Highly highly recommend to my Viking travelers!!!!

Best authentic experience! The food was delicious and Sylvia, our server, was AMAZING! The atmosphere is comfortable and everyone (especially Sylvia) make you feel like family. The lasagna was the BEST we have ever had. The strudel was a wonderful surprise…we came yesterday and are back again today!
