That melts in your mouth, and they offer you complimentary shots of a lemon flavor liquor shot, that is a nice touch to your finishing meal.

As you can tell the view is spectacular if you can grab one of the tables by the fence. I like how this place does not try to rip you off as they probably could charge double of their price if they wanted to due to their location. I highly recommend stopping by at least get a drink or two and enjoy your time at Lake Como.

Can't beat the location. It's perfectly near the boats that has a beautiful view. They quickly sat…read moredown and was able to accommodate our large party considering it's a very small location.. The service was OK. I try not to judge too much due to the language barrier however, everyone there to speak English and must be able to help me.. love the pizza and hated the Bellini... hated. The Panini looked average. You're definitely going there for the location in the vibe. Otherwise it's on the higher end and just ok. Now we probably only go back for the pizza.

The crust was soft with just the right amount of chew. Ingredients were obviously fresh. We were treated like family by both the host and servers.

Formidable restaurant with tasty cuisine - for both the eyes and taste gums. Not only did the…read morerabbit rolls add on perfectly to the gamba gnocchi, but the forthcoming service and impressive surroundings (just look at the wooden designer eggs you can sit in!) made for a special environment, in which food and Franciacorta taste even better. The red wine glasses, though, could've been cleaned better (one had lip marks on the rim). Overall, a must-see (or "-dine" for that matter) for all Lago Maggiore visitors around Baveno.

I ordered pasta. Staff asked me to wear a bib, presumably because I'm American. Nobody else at the…read morerestaurant was wearing a bib. German couple next to me confirmed they were insulting us because we were American. Food was mostly fine, except we asked for a steak medium well and it came out less than rare. Staff forgot my wife's order, it came out 25 minutes after the other orders. Ambiance was nice, but wouldn't eat here if you're American, don't like wearing bibs, like steak, or expect your entrees to be served together.

The restaurant is a real treat to have right downstairs for those staying in-house at Il Sereno --…read morebut is a very worthwhile destination for not only the dining experience but to see the amazing property, magnificent location, and the beautiful restaurant space overlooking Lake Como. Dinner is the main attraction, the menu is modern and fitting of the rest of the property's atmosphere -- definitely leaning more towards the degustation/gastronomy type of fine dining, so diners should come expecting that. Although, I was just as much (if not most) delighted by the bread service which were noticeably out of the oven just before arriving at the table every time. The menu has 3 formats -- split by 2 that are different tasting formats, followed by 1 page that is a la-carte for however many courses you would like. Having tried all 3 menus in as many evenings, there was a good amount of variety, with a high degree of creativity and innovation throughout -- and very filling. The beverage program is impressive as well, with a beautiful cellar on full display -- although I took the recommendations for a glass of wine to pair with dinner, which was terrific each time. The staff + service was a clear standout, consistent and wonderful. The staff is noticeably young, very warm and upbeat and inviting. While I wish I got everyone's names, ALESSANDRO, MARY, and ROBERTO were always amazing and wonderful, they truly knew how to provide for a great experience and always went above and beyond.
