The place was always full, and vibrant, with guests waiting for a table at the bar, and busy, professional waiters. Last year "Cardinello" closed, I have been told because the owners of the place wanted to take over the successful business of the people who had been running it for years. Despite the redecorating and the fact that the restaurant is still situated in the same idyllic spot in beautiful Gravedona, "Le Terrazze" is nothing like "Cardinello" was. The service is so-so, some of the waiters far from being up to it, the food is a far cry from what it used to be - and the atmosphere is just dull. We tried "Le Terrazze" last year, and were disappointed. This year, since we have loved "Cardinello" so much, we tried it again. What a disaster! I was even food poisoned, first time ever in Italy, where I am NEVER concerned about (food)hygiene. I spent the day after in the bathroom. Please, can someone shut down "Le Terrazze" and reopen "Cardinello"?

Dine outside, if the weather permits, and enjoy the view of lovely Lake Lugano and the rolling house-speckled hills in between occasional interruptions by the armored G-wagons and super cars that the residents use to put around this picturesque town.

I originally stopped by Osteria Monti to buy a bottle of wine, but when I saw the menu I decided I needed to come back for dinner. It's a very quaint restaurant, with absolutely fantastic local dishes, and local wines abs grappa. The atmosphere is great, it's not lake front, but the interior is very modern and clean, and the back patio has a great view of the mountains. The service was FANTASTIC! The owner / chef was present when I purchased the bottle of wine, and he couldn't have been more knowledgeable and pleasant. The two girls that served us had great personality and charm. Sometimes a restaurant can have terrible food but great service, and you still walk away happy. This restaurant had the BEST of the both. The food from start to finish was absolutely delicious. Fresh, flavourful and very well presented. A tartare appetizer with a regular salt, smoked salt and spicy salt, along with an avacado mousse, and aged Parmigiano. How can you go wrong from here? I'm not going to describe every item I had because I don't want to ruin restaurant goers from trying something other than what write about. Go here! Try everything! You will not regret it.
