Come here. Now. So long as you have a car! Amazing food, rustic and rich flavours. The tasting platter of three different mains is excellent and low cost. As others have mentioned, the ribs are out of this world and more than make up for the slightly tricky drive up. The cherry on top is the view!!!

The food is excellent, home cooked style. Views are unmatched. Staff could not be nicer. Heads up it’s a bit of a tricky drive to get in, nestled up in the hills.

Fabulous little gem high up on the mountain outside of Menaggio, Italy. Traditional northern Italian fare, of hearty home cooked style dishes. Reservation recommended

We found this hidden gem near Menaggio by chance on Google Maps, and we were so pleasantly surprised! The food & terrace views were AMAZING, and we especially loved the Beef Stew and Venison! The pork ribs were just a bit bitter due to the wine, but still tender and delicious!For dessert, we highly recommend the meringuata & tiramisu! The meringuata is a super refreshing and light Italian meringue ice cream dessert and it’s delicious!

Our family has been coming to this restaurant for over 30 years! Not once has it ever disappointed us. Family owned and they always make you feel at home. Best food, view and service! Whenever I am visiting the area I make it a point to go multiple times. Don’t miss out on this place!
