The temperature being perfect added to the atmosphere and comfort of eating here. The staff was courteous and attentive, and although I only had a sandwich, it tasted good. Please be advised though, that their milkshakes are not very thick.

Delicious food. View of the lake. Friendly staff. Good wine. Good value. Normal prices. We were there twice. The best restaurant in Lenno - price - quality.

Fresh & healthy food! My spinach ricotta ravioli were delicious - very thin, homemade, delicate pasta. Service was great & food came quickly. Great prices & dog friendly!

Not too sure why this place doesn't get a higher rating! My group had a lovely and delicious dinner here. Also the view at sunset is gorgeous. 10/10 you should check this beautiful restaurant out!

The pizza was absolutely wonderful – one of the best we’ve had in Italy. The pasta and burger were good. The waitresses were genuinely kind and attentive, which is quite rare in this part of Italy. We highly recommend this place! :)

Absolutely wonderful experience, would recommend this restaurant to everyone visiting Lenno! (My credentials: I’ve been studying abroad in Italy for two months, and this is one of the best affordable restaurants I’ve been to so far)They were full inside, so we were okay to just sit outside, but after a few minutes a table opened up and they remembered us and came out to tell us we could switch tables to inside. Both the waiter and the waitress who served us were super sweet and kind, and spoke excellent English! The food came out quick, I got the ravioli(€14) and a glass of rosè(€4) and they were AMAZING. Best ravioli I’ve had, it had such a nice subtle sage flavor and was perfectly cooked. I also got the handmade tiramisu(€7) for dessert, and it was so well made, perfect cream and well soaked sponge. Definitely very affordable as well! All in all the four of us loved our evening here and would go back tomorrow if we could.

Excellent pizza, great hamburgers, and the risotto was awesome too!! Our waitress was super attentive and helpful. Thanks
