This family-owned restaurant didn't disappoint. The prices were fair for a good lunch, the service was friendly, the pizza was delicious, and the setting was perfect to enjoy la Bella Vita. If you find yourself in Stresa or anywhere in the Lago Maggiore area, give this place a chance.

The prices are super reasonable, and as an American traveling in Italy, I was looking for a proper breakfast. It only cost (€-€€), my girlfriend only paid 20€ for the first breakfast. The next day we paid 30€, b/c we got half the menu! Everything on the menu is very tasty. It's a funky, cozy coffee house that delivers some delicious food for reasonable prices. Barbara is awesome and the food is solid. Plus, she has a GREAT playlist, jams for days. Also, they do accept credit cards.

We had about an hour to kill in Lake Como before we had to meet our tour group. Lucky for us,…read moreL'Ambrosiano happened to be across the street from our meeting point. It also couldn't have looked more inviting. We chose to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. It wasn't a sunny day but the outdoor seating did provide shelter from the misty rain. The waiter took our order (one Valtellinese pizza) and shortly our food arrived. I found it a nice touch that the kitchen split the pizza in half so we could share it easily. We were also given plates and silverware. L'Ambrosiano is no ordinary cafe. It's a bit classier. The pizza was delicious and covered amply in braseola and mushrooms. The sauce was slightly sweet and brought the whole pizza together. I did enjoy eating my pizza with a fork and knife, a far cry from folding it in half and eating with hands New York style. What a great way to enjoy Como. It topped off our morning of silk scarves, cloud bread, gardens, and farmers markets.

The spicy salami was actually spicy and was extra crisped which is actually how I prefer it. The bruschetta was very good and big portion. I give it three stars because it's more expensive than any other pizza I ate in Italy and there was nothing to justify that - the food was simple nothing fancy, it was not memorable, and I wouldn't go back.

We were lucky to be seated outside after about a 10 minute wait on a busy Friday evening. Our server Lucco was very sweet and though very busy did his best to be attentive. We started with sparkling water, proseccos, margherita pizza and a salad. Those were delivered promptly. Next I ordered the linguine frutti di mare which was sooo delicious and the seafood was so fresh (prawns, mussels, scallops). However, there was an unsavory taste left in our mouths after my friend's food had hair in it and she asked to return it to the kitchen. A lady server came over and aggressively insisted that the hair belonged to my friend because it had to be "extensions". This was an unpleasant experience to say the least My friend declined another dish from the kitchen and we shared my pasta which we both enjoyed but I'm sad she wasn't able to enjoy her meal. Overall, we still really enjoyed the food we did try.
