Wegen der interessanten Karte entschieden wir uns für das ,,Metamorphosis". Dies war eindeutig die richtige Entscheidung. Unser Platz an der Terasse wurde uns so zurecht gestellt, das wir einen Blick auf den See hatten. Da wir zu früh waren, nahmen wir einen Apero, dazu erhielten wir von dem freundlichem Service Chips und Oliven. Die Speisekarte ist nicht riesig, dafür sind gut ausgewählte Gerichte und Lebensmittel von hoher Qualität vorhandem (z.B. Imberikon).Wir entschieden uns 2x für das 5-Gangmenü für je 85.- und wurden überrascht. Nach 2 Amouse Bouche wurden uns die 5 Gänge serviert, plus einen Sorbetgang. Das Menü war spannend, abwechslungsreich und die Teller schön und modern angerichtet. Die einzelnen Komponenten ergaben bei jedem Gang ein fantastisches Geschmackserlebniss. So ein gutes Preis-Leistungsverhälniss gibt es selten und wir wurden den ganzen Abend gut bedient. Ein guter Koch und ein tolles Team sind im Metamorphosis am Werk, wir sind begeistert! Thank's for the perfect evening!

We came all the way from USA and I can tell you this place didn't disappoint us. Very nice location, close to the lake and easy to find. We started our 5 course chef's tasting menu from appetizers by chef. It was mix of cheeses in different variations deep fried, cream cheese, cheese truffle and refreshing gazpacho soup. 1.Our first tasting dish were amberjack ceviche with fresh mint, peach and lemon sauce. It was absolutely delightful. 2.Then we had poached egg in creamy pea puree and shaved with Belèer Knolle cheese. It was also one of my favorite dishes because it was so creamy and egg was a great addition to this dish. Also there were Bona crumbles sweet to balance the pea puree. 3. Next Paccheridi Gragnano halves with oriental veal ragout. unfortunately this pasta wasn't my favorite. It was too al dente and I am not used to such a thick uncooked pasta. We ask waiter and he confirmed that's the way it should be. Also too much peanuts overwhelmed the sauce and it felt you are eating sneakers. But I absolutely loved veal ragout sauce, it was rich with flavors and very nicely done. 4.Then our next dish was Red Mediterranean tuna with charcoal, teriyaki mayonnaise, cucumber and puffed rice with seaweed. It was the best cooked tuna that I ever tried. It was so tender and melting on my tongue. 5. Next was perfectly cooked Duck with cherries. I absolutely loved duck, it was cooked to perfection!!! 6. Pre dessert strawberry basil puree to refresh tasting buds and prepare for the dessert. 7. Vanilla cheesecake with apricot and carrot sorbet with prune compote. 8. And complementary truffle selection from Chef to congratulate us with our anniversary. Absolutely best anniversary meal. I also loved that service here was very open and nice. It was my first Michelin star experience and I didn't felt any snobbism, like in other restaurants in Milan for example. Nice presentation, and all dishes were properly described in English for us which is additional plus since my husband doesn't speak Italian. Absolutely worth the trip!
