This place was a 10 out of 10 out of 10 out of 10. I felt like I was at a family member's house,…read morefor example, like my mom and her sister's, or close relatives, auntie's, grandmothers, etc. one of the sisters even had their daughter working as the host. The three sisters who owned the place make you feel like you are a part of the family. They make sure that you do not rush to eat. They make sure that you enjoy yourself and taking all of the ambience of the establishment. It has an amazing art collection that helps with the ambience of eating there. Everything that me and my friends had was amazing. What stood out to me the most was the crème brûlée. I have been to France and I have had crème brûlée from several establishments there that were reputable and four and five star places and this was better than all of them. The menu is small and intentional. Everything you order will be great. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are visiting Lake Como Italy. They even have a piano there, and I sat and played in between my meals, lol the experience was excellent.

I walked around and recognized it from the list I was given, so I decided to try it. Normally, hotels don't always give the best recommendations and I wasn't expecting much. Luckily, i was wrong. The service was great and welcoming. The food was so delicious and can easily say, this was definitely one of the best meals from my trip to Lake Como. 12/10 #leslieapproved

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!

OH wasn't this a fun lunch during our time on Lake Como!…read more So undecided while actually in Como, we ended up just picking the nearest side-walk open restaurant... we picked well! Hosterietta was a lovely decision! We decided to sit outside on a day where Satan had obvious controls of the thermostat. They were kind enough not to judge me for wiping the sweat from my brow so I didn't drip in my food. They brought me a fresh towel... and then likely judged me harshly behind closed doors... sorry folks, bad American manners but it was HOT! FORTUNATELY, they have lovely massive umbrellas outside to sit under, and they helped immensely! They have a wonderful menu, both in Italian and English. They have very accommodating staff that are quick to tell / share of their favorite menu items (I love it when they do this!). I actually chose my meal based on their recommendation. Forgive me for not remembering what I ordered. I did start with a salad... heads-up folks, if you start with a "starter salad"... it is enough for an entire meal! They recommended wine. The four of us planned to split one bottle... as you all can imagine... that didn't happen... after a few glasses each, we all left with smiles on our faces!
