    This is an easy place to find as it is right there when you exit the como-brunate funicular. The…read moreview is astonishing as it looks over both Como and Lake Como. 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!

The waiters were very attentive and accommodate my family of 4 when it began to rain The food was delicious. We arrived in Rome on Wednesday but I finally ate the best lasagna at this establishment. The lasagna was at perfect temperature and man was it cheesy. Overall, great service and food.

Bruanate is located 2,335 feet above sea level, and overlooks the city of Como. Upon our return, we came upon the Ristorante Vista Lago, which offered a beautiful view from their outside balcony at the edge of the Brunate hillside. It is located near the Funicular which connects Brunate to Como in about 7 minutes. The restaurant is in the Vista Lago Hotel, a small hotel with 13 rooms. It was a quiet and warm afternoon when we sat down, and our waiter arrived promptly. The menu is fairly basic, and we ordered two waters and two cappuccinos, to be follow by a cheese and mushroom pizza. The cappuccinos were very good, but the pizza was not, tasting incrementally better than a store-bought frozen pizza. Oh well, the view was a great consolation prize! Should you happen to be in Brunate, and you'd like a drink with a great view, this is an excellent choice. For lunch or dinner, I'd suggest you consider elsewhere.
