Hands down the best restaurant in Lake Como. We tried the 9 course surprise menu and it was fantastic. You have your own room plus the rooftop balcony to enjoy the wine, Hors d'Oeuvre watching the sunset
I had lunch in this breathtaking view restaurant. The food was delicious and the ambience modern, cheerful and luxurious. The service was kind, friendly and able to communicate in few languages .
Absolutely fantastic. Had an amazing meal for Fore last night. Food, presentation, service, and setting. We’re all spectacular. Wine recommendations were also fabulous. Definitely would recommend. They should have at least one star.
Absolutely delicious! One of our better experiences we’ve had on all of our travels — the foods had a beautiful flow of flavors from one course to the next, the service was wonderful, and the ambiance was eclectic and elegant. Highly recommend and is one of the few places I would diligently seek out to experience again.
If you want an unforgettable evening where view, service and cuisine are in the most exquisite harmony then run don’t walk to Sottovoce and let yourselves be delighted in every way. Alessandro Rinaldi is an exceptional chef and each dish was divine down to the last detail. The service team led by charming Valeria was professional and polished.
Absolutely amazing. Arguably the best restaurant we’ve ever been to. It was more than food, it was an experience from start to finish. We are from the US and would travel back to Lake Como just to eat here and will refer anyone and everyone here. Thank you for such a unique and delicious experience.
The quality of the restaurant has definitely improved with the arrival of the new chef. The dishes are creative and carefully prepared, I highly recommend the tubetto and the dessert with buffalo ricotta. You can dine outside with a lake view or inside, and both options offer a great experience.
