"We arrived without a booking on a Friday evening just after 6pm. The restaurant was empty as the kitchen starts at 7pm but we got an ideal table at a window to savour the fantastic view of Lake Como below. We ordered drinks, spritz for 4 euros. My wife had the the fixed menu for 17 euros which gave two choices for first course and two for second plus a quarter litre of wine, mineral water, coffee and a limoncello liqueur. She had the local dish of manfrigole valtellinesi followed by beef fillet strips with roast potatoes. We also had trout fillet with almonds, veal in white wine and penne all'arrabiatta with seafood risotto as a first course too plus a couple of side dishes. Tiramisu and merangata for dessert followed by a coffee and amaretto liquor and two lìmoncelli. Food was superb with excellent friendly and helpful staff even though there seemed to be only three of them. Including wine our bill was under 80 euros which is superb value. All desserts 3.50, most mains under 9 euros and first courses about 7. We booked for the following week without hesitation. The road up is an interesting drive but well worth it."
