Serves meat, vegan options available. Hotel restaurant with a view of Lake Como. Offers vegan risotto and other dishes. Specify vegan when booking. Check ahead for hours - reservations required.
No vegan options, at least that is what the server said. We found the risotto to be of interest, and we asked if it could be made vegan. We had to ask several times and be very clear that it could not have animal ingredients. We also asked if we could have a vegan dessert , and they assembled a counsil to discuss if something could be vegan. They gave us fruit salad as an option, but they forgot to serve it.
The risotto was good, so that is a plus.
The restaurant serves a lot of horrible dishes, like goose liver and veal, as well as spaghetti out of a large cheese wheel. All this made me a bit sick, to think you can enslave and kill animals, and treat them horribly as well.
I was with an Omni so I made this work because I kind of had to. The risotto is only served for a party of two? That was weird and you have to modify it to get it vegan. I had to get pasta with red sauce but don’t forget to check if it’s made with eggs. The Minestrone alla Milanese is vegan without modification, just a starter, but very good. They bring a bread basket with minced olives before the starters or meal which was nice. The waitress our first night was so nice and helpful. The second night the waiter was pretty rude, very short and clearly annoyed. Hopefully it was a one-off…everyone else there was friendly. Wait outside or go to the doorway and signal to the staff that you’d like to dine.
We went to this restaurant and the server said the mushrooms are cooked in butter so the risotto couldn’t be made vegan unless we eliminated the mushrooms. The only option was pasta with pomodoro sauce.
