So… With a bunch of Michelin-starred places visited around the world I have to concude that this one I wouldn’t really recommend to everyone I know. Only to those who go to Michelin-starred places and want to visit all of them.

I noticed that most attention is paid to people ordering sets, which is not really fair. The wine selection is a nice one, with a focus on biodynamic, natural or rare wines. By-glass Sauvignon is not for everyone, it will have a different taste. I am in wine industry so to me it was understandable as a wine.

The food was great, but great as experimental. The pigeon is served not fully cooked and even me loving pigeons…I couldn’t eat it. Fresh bird meat is a bit too much.

The sweet compliment they bring in the end is delicious. We took it home and enjoyed every single piece.

Sadly this place was a bit of a disappointment.  The experimental dishes didn’t quite work.   Carrot and mustard starter was a bust — tasted like spicy baby food.  Some of the dishes, like the lamb and the saffron risotto were lovely.  Husband enjoyed the mussels with wild garlic soup.   The cod in green curry was fine but the green curry was odd.   Wine pairings were off.  Appreciate the attempt at experimentation but it was a miss for us and honestly not worth the $$$.

A stunning experience! I dined here solo for lunch. I was the first to arrive during their lunch service and got to pick my table. Everything was prepared impeccably and the courses were inventive. I particularly enjoyed the tender veal tongue with the tangy rosehip sauce. The dessert "Memories from a trip to Columbia" was excellent too, delicious and so playful with all the different textures. Don't pass up the espresso & treats - I would go back just for them. However, I was not a fan of the pike perch. It was my first time trying this type of fish. It was prepared perfectly so it is a matter of personal preference.

The service was very attentive and quick, always standing by ready to assist and letting me enjoy the meal at my own pace. They clearly explained each course as it arrived. It is very clear that everyone there takes pride in their work - their passion translated into every aspect of the experience. It was a treat to witness such art. Well deserving of their Michelin star!

I took the ferry from Como and walked over to the restaurant. It was easy to get to and Cernobbio was nice to explore with benches that have a great view of the lake.

Very unique meal that we enjoyed overall. My husband and I did the vegetarian tasting menu.

This meal is definitely about the experience, trying new things/combination of flavors and appreciating different food forms. I would not come here if you are very hungry, want something hearty or a guaranteed filling meal.

We came for lunch, and there were only two other parties there so it was a quiet/peaceful meal. The service and staff were very friendly, and the meal started off with a delicious variety of amuse bouche. We then went through a 5-course meal, of which our favorite was the szechuan rasberry risotto. We were not big fans of the pepper and spinach dishes.

Overall, we enjoyed the experience and appreciated that they had a vegetarian menu.
