Nice food and accomodating staff

There isn’t a full vegan menu here but, when asked, the waiter explained what they could do to a few dishes to make them vegan.
This meant I could have a starter, main, and a dessert!
It was probably the nicest vegan food I ate while I was visiting Lake Como (although that’s not hard to do when vegan options are practically non-existant aside from tomato pasta).
The starter was a grilled artichoke heart with a sweet dressing, main was tomato and basil risotto, and they made up a fruit salad with syrup dressing and berry compote for dessert.

The food is great but nothing Vegan on the menu

We went because it says on here that they have a whole vegan menu, but they didn't even have one vegan meal in the menu. Luckily the waiters were very friendly and understood what veganism was and guided us through the menu and how they could veganize the courses. We got a risotto made without butter and cheese. It tastes great but pricewise I found it too expensive to pay the same when half of the ingredients are removed. The place was beautiful, and service was very good.

Very good food

I asked for vegan options and they offered me some pasta and a dessert.
Very good service, also.
2 persons payed 80.- euros for water, 3 glasses of wine, a main course (1 non-vegan) and a dessert.

Pros: Vegan options(not on menu), Good service , High quality

Cons: Pricy

An Oasis in a heavily carnivore region

This lovely restaurant brings vegan and vegetarian sensibilities to the otherwise meat-centric Northern Italian diet. The food was beautifully prepared and delicious. It was wonderful to find a place where we could have a plant-based meal in a region where that can otherwise be hard to find.

Pros: Beautiful outdoor seating

Cons: Moderately expensive
