We went through a few of the towns (Bellagio and Varenna) and couldn't find a burger place. We went out tonight looking for a pizza place and the place we went to had closed the kitchen at 9 and told us there was a pizza place one street away and to go through a small alley. We walked by a sign of a 13 euro burger and decided to give it a try. For 13 euros we got a burger with fries and a beer. We asked the owner if we could exchange the beer for a coke and he did. We also asked for 1/2 a four cheese pizza which was amazing and pretty big for only 3.50 euros and the big one was 7. We ate it before we took a pic it. The burger was delicious!! Best burger I have had in a very long time, so good I decided to write my 2nd review because this place deserves to be known.

My father and I ordered the NY strip steak on a bed of arugula which was delightful. My brother was awing over the perfectly cooked bacon on his pizza. My mother was very pleased with her "perfectly cooked" sea bass with a side of grilled vegetables and my sister absolutely LOVED her pasta dish. The service was quick and friendly and overall we had a wonderful experience!

I wasn't expecting much of our stay because it was pretty inexpensive and we weren't too concerned about the room since we just wanted to experience Lake Como, but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the view from our room. It made up for any other flaws. It's not a high end place, but it is comfortable and cozy. I loved the square outside with the restaurants, and the noise was not even noticeable at night. We had breakfast at the Central Cafe and the orange juice is on point, so so good. The cappuccino was also really good as well as the brioche. We had a nice stay and I don't have anything bad to say.

The owner and his staff were wonderful, kind, welcoming and made great recommendations. Al Prato is a gem, and a peaceful yet lively respite from the crowded lake-front spots. A must-try. Make sure you stop by to make a reservation in-person, it fills up quickly! Thank you Al Prato for the delicious meals and beautiful evenings.

Service was efficient and friendly. I got the green summer drink which was prosecco, oj, pineapple, vodka, strawberry syrup and was super refreshing. I ordered the lasagna and it was really delicious. We got two pizzas. One was the pizza buffalo and another was the pizza olivevina and bressaoa (sp?). The olivevina pizza had no sauce. This was basically a salad on top of focaccia bread! Overall, this was a great lunch spot to have a bite to eat while walking in the city and looking at the view of lake como.

We stayed in Varenna in an Airbnb overlooking this outdoor space so we could hear the goings on at most of the restaurants. This one was the quietest. I had the beef stew which was a slice of beef slow cooked over thin sliced potatoes. It was unique, had good flavours and was well plated. My wife had the pasta and spinach and shrimp. She said it was delicious. We had three glasses of wine, dinner and desert all for $76! With a lake side view. As for the tourists .... well this is a tourist town so just bear with it. Overall a 4 with decent food, attentive staff, and a fantastic location. You won't walk away wow'd by the experience but you will walk away with a decent overall food, service and atmosphere experience.

The red wine was local, with the same grape made for Barollo but with a different soil leading to a similar but different taste and it was magnificent. I had one glass, switched to a Chardonnay recommended by the waiter, which I enjoyed but preferred the first glass so I switched back for my third. All in all after four glasses of wine and a bottle to go the bill came to 94 euro, which I felt was reasonable. Each glass comes with a small snack. When I'm back in Varenna I will be back here.

We stayed in…read morethis town on a recent vacation and were a short walk from the main square where this bar is located. The town is so small I wasn't expecting to find much in the way of restaurants or entertainment, so when we stumbled upon 27 on a Friday night and it was packed with people I was quite surprised. There is no water view from here but they have a small indoor and large outdoor seating. At the time of our visit, there was a really cool band playing, thus the large crowd. They kept everyone dancing. As far as the menu, they offer a full bar, coffee and some light bites like paninis. I got a cappuccino and a spritz. I had been dying to try one. Sadly it wasn't as good as I had imagined but okay overall. The prices were a bit high compared to other restaurants down on the water around the corner. I can't comment about the food since I only had drinks, but overall I give 3 stars for the "fun" factor
