The outdoor seating overlooked the lake and we were seated in a residential cobblestone alley - which added to the ambience. The staff is very friendly and didn't speak much English. We had caprese, a salad, a fresh pasta with rabbit ragu and this huge t bone steak. Everything was prepared excellently. Highly recommend if you're trying to get a more authentic experience than the big hotels.

My wife had grilled calf liver, and she never had that dish any better. Our waiter was efficient and attentive. Our deserts were delicious - pear sorbet with schnapps and chocolate mousse. Chez Gaby doesn't get the heavy tourist traffic of more conspicuous restaurants. The other diners seemed to be more repeat tourists who were out for a quite meal of value with some atmosphere, rather than first time tourists lured by a slick appearance.

Being here is a whole experience one must have while in Italy! My girlfriend and I came on a 10 day trip and stayed our last 3 days by Lake Como, we made a last minute reservation and took a train over and were amazed by the experience and food. The best meal we had on our trip by far. Try their wines, desserts are amazing. Man we are coming back again next Italy trip, might have to come to Italy just to experience Ristorante il Crotto. Non importa dove sei o dove stai andando, venire a mangiare qui è un must! Il servizio era incredibile e il cibo era spettacolare. Essere qui è un'intera esperienza che si deve fare mentre si è in Italia! Io e la mia ragazza siamo venuti in un viaggio di 10 giorni e abbiamo soggiornato i nostri ultimi 3 giorni sul Lago di Como, abbiamo fatto una prenotazione dell'ultimo minuto e abbiamo preso un treno e siamo rimasti stupiti dall'esperienza e dal cibo. Il miglior pasto che abbiamo fatto durante il nostro viaggio di gran lunga. Prova i loro vini, i dolci sono fantastici. Amico, torneremo di nuovo il prossimo viaggio in Italia, potremmo dover venire in Italia solo per provare il Ristorante il Crotto.

Or you could just come here and see what all that looks, feels and tastes like. A family run place with the husband, son and daughter in law in the kitchen and mom up front. The room is sophisticated and warm. All the detail have been covered. At your table you will have a nice flower arrangement and your fork and knife sit on a block of marble so they never touch the table. There is art and vignettes everywhere so as you look around there are stones accents on the walls, paintings, wine glasses ect. You will have plenty to see. As to service my wife dropped her knife and within seconds a new one was brought to the table. Enough said The food ? Elevated, splendid. And unexpected. I ordered the Iberian pork. Perfectly cooked and displayed served with beets and a yogurt. I have ordered a version of this dish in Miami, spain and Portugal but none rise to the level of this one. The Mrs had the lake fish fry. There was all sort of lightly beaded and flash fried fish along with onions, carrots, zucchini and potatoes. This was not greasy the fish was fresh and plump, just superb. The wine list is extensive with both local wines and wines from Italy and France. I ordered an excellent Rosso de Montalcino. The dessert was a very inventive mix of chocolate moose, cream and rice cakes. I know it's sounds normal but this was so inventive and delicious the presentation was part of the allure. We have been in Italy for 21 days now and have been here 4 other times. This is one of the top restaurants we have dined at. The fact that it's family run takes it up a notch. If you are near lake maggiore head here you will thank me.
