This pasticceria has been around since 1880! There is plenty of seating both upstairs and downstairs, and you can stand by the counter if you just want to have a quick coffee and pastry. There is a bathroom located upstairs and is kept in good condition. We came here in the morning to order some espressos and a few pastries. I'm a pistachio lover and the "Rocher pistacchio" was my favorite. They also serve slices of a variety of different cakes, including pistachio, lemon, and chocolate. With so many pastries, you simply must come back and try them all. I gladly give this venue five stars out of five.

The staff was friendly and they place a nice table cloth on the table when you sit down. We ordered a small charcuterie board and another appetizer (I can't remember the name) and it was enough to fill 3 of us until dinner. I would recommend going up to Brunate for a snack at this restaurant if you are visiting Como or the Lake Como region!

This restaurant was surprisingly affordable despite looking very touristy. The views are just…read moreincredible. There were tables with the lake view always available every time we stopped by during our two-night stay in Brunate. Pizza was cheap, they were all under 10 euro and I believe the margherita we ordered was 6 euro. We also got the assorted bruschetta for 5 euro which was delicious - I love how they serve bruschetta in Lake Como.The smoothies there were good, a bit watery but the flavor was great, but over-priced at 7 euro each. The beer my boyfriend got was also pricey around 8 euro for a bottle I believe. I had the tiramisu after our meal which was served in a cute, little jar, and it was honestly amazing. Creamy, smooth, and not too sweet. If you find yourself in Brunate and don't want to eat at one of the fancy, hotel restaurants, definitely grab a bite or drink here at the very least!

I had the bolognese pasta the portion is tiny and the noodle is undercooked and there's barely meat in the sauce. My partner had lasagna , it looks nothing like a lasagna and didn't taste good either. There's a very big menu of cocktails. I had the basil smash, but it's overly sweet and artificial flavor and color added looks lime green. The outdoor space with view is limited and very tight. Service is pretty bad, can hardly get anyone's attention.

Was on empty and needed to eat REAL food after a 6 hour train ride. Healthy options, specials and great smoothies sold me. Followed my delicious salad with an iced coffee and I was revived! Then a week later, staying at an airport hotel, we came here and even though the kitchen closes at 3 pm, and it was 3:20 pm (sigh) the owner said we could order whatever we wanted. I nearly cried. He must have sensed the hangries coming on, big time. I had the vegetarian club (€10) and my bf had a pastrami club (€11). While I usually go with whole wheat bread, the white bread was just great. Both of us had a smoothie, pure fruit and veggies, nothing more. And we had to follow it up with a coffee! The bakery case was tempting with cookies, pastries and cakes. Really appreciate the owner's kindness and really enjoyed this charming cafe.
