I have never seen a wine list in a 3" thick binder! The Sommelier's suggestion was delicious. We went with our waiter's suggestion of the appetizer special: porcini mushrooms in garlic olive and herbs. Wow! My husband had the gnocchi and licked the bowl. I had the mushroom and sausage pasta which was delicious. So glad we got the pistachio dessert. Absolutely decadent. Had the best time and met two other couples and closed the place down. All in all a delightful evening!

All of our dishes (shared appetizers) and mains were phenomenal. The menu changes often. We had apple risotto- different but in the best way! And the simple linguine ragu hits the spot! Everyone who works here is super friendly and welcoming. Everyone spoke English fluently and was able to help us decide the lovely Italian menu. We came back for dinner, and: Uncia Polenta is to die for!!! You literally get a family portion, so be ready to share. It's made with 3 cheeses and butter Onion Soup in a bread bowl also phenomenal!!

Amazing service and super local joint in Cernobbio!!! Stumbled upon this place walking back to our…read moreapartment and saw the whole menu was in Italian only (good sign). They also had run out of certain dishes by our 2pm sign (better sign- means everything made in house fresh). Their green salad was super fresh and flavorful with feta, tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and olives. Then my husband and I split the paccheri special which had tuna and a divine butter sauce with capers and olives. All around stunning meal!!!

We all settled on our first and second course and our server was promptly at the table to take our order. Mr. Bee ordered the Meat Ravioli in a cream sauce to start and it was excellent. The ravioli were perfectly cooked, and the filling was tender, and flavorful. I started with Paccheri, a wide pasta noodle like a rigatoni, but smooth and larger. The sauce was a roasted cherry tomato sauce with a basil olive oil drizzle. It was incredible. Italians certainly know how to make and cook pasta to perfection. For our second course, Mr. Bee had Veal Cheeks over Polenta. He loved every bite. I ordered a Filet of Beef and on the side was Polenta, and grilled baby artichokes. Both were delicious. The filet could have been a bit more tender, but it had a rich beefy flavor. It was the perfect end to an amazing trip.

The staff seemed a little bit cold towards me since I'm an American tourist, but I attempted a little bit of Italian and they warmed up real quick.

This is a sophisticated restaurant with incredible service and delicious food…read more We tried this restaurant for the first time during a special private family gathering, and it was great. Il Gatto Negro has a full bar with many options of cocktails, wines and beers. We tried the the risotto and the chicken with potato and prosciutto. For dessert we had the tiramisu and almond cake, and for drinks, we tried several cocktails. Everything was delicious! The service was excellent, the location was beautiful and all common areas were clean and comfortable. The view is outsanding. One thing to watch out for is getting there. This restaurant is up in a mountain and the roads are extremely narrow. My recommendation is taking an UBER or a taxi or someone who is a local driver who knows how to drive through those narrow spaces. Also, the view is better during the day. Overall, highly recommended.

I asked for a green salad and what I got was literally a third of a supermarket small green leafs packet . No other vegetables , no herbs , not even tomatoes or cucumber which our waiter said it will. No dressing. It was 15EUR. What a joke! He also served the other drinks we orderer and food and then the water. Though we were thirty and asked for water first thing. No heart in this place. Just a pretty view.
