Really nice and calm atmosphere. Staff are very pleasant, informed, and welcoming. The drinks were lovely; not diluted with ice. We ordered a starter dish with pulled pork - it was incredible. For my main meal, I greatly enjoyed a dish with a scampi tartare. Not to forget, the tiramisu from the deserts menu was wondrous! The only thing I could complain about was the waiting times for the dishes, but this is not a problem if you are surrounded by good company! I definitely recommend visiting this restaurant if you are staying around Lake Como.

First of all, I thank the lovely waitress in the restaurant and second I thank Mr albloushi for his review it was the reason we went to this restaurant, the burrata pizza was delicious, we requested burrata salad that wasn’t in the menu and the Chef created one for us, the unique flavor of pasta was a plus such as watermelon linguine pasta, our order was 2 mocktails drinks, one burrata pizza, burrata salad, one watermelon pasta and it cost around 85 euro. Overall cool atmosphere and food.

A beautiful place to eat. The outdoor restaurant in a secluded garden. A real lovely ambience. I had the octopus. Very nice. Mopped up the sauce with the bread that comes on the table. Ribs were perfect. Portions are not necessarily massive because it feels and looks like fine dining. The menu is varied so plenty of options. The pornstar martini was one of the best ones I've had. I really enjoyed it. Thank you to staff that looked after us too. Very polite and friendly.

We turned up without booking on. Tuesday night and were seated immediately though we arrived a bit early I would say as it got much busier later. The staff were so sweet, friendly and accommodating/helpful. The food was absolutely...sublime frankly. The ambience was that of a cute French shabby chic café and we felt so lucky to experience it all. We had the duck breast with fennel as a side, and the slow cooked pork which was so tender it just fell apart. We also had the "focaccia" starter and the bread was more of a sourdough pizza base but it was so delicious we didn't really care

Very pleasant atmosphere! Calm, good and everything are beautiful The staff doesn't know what's on the menu... The dishes are well-prepared, but they're too salty and have a too strong flavor …

We had such a wonderful experience at Piazzetta Lake Como. First of all, parking was surprisingly easy — there’s a convenient spot just before the roundabout, only a short walk away, which made the visit stress-free. The staff were on another level of friendly — truly some of the kindest and warmest people we’ve ever met at a restaurant. They even welcomed our cat inside without hesitation, which made us feel so comfortable and cared for. The atmosphere was relaxed yet lively, with a genuinely lovely vibe that made us want to stay longer. And the food? Absolutely beyond delicious. Every dish was fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully prepared — easily one of the best meals of our trip. Piazzetta Lake Como isn’t just a place to eat, it’s a place where you feel genuinely welcome. We visited here after driving 10 hours from Berlin and We’ll remember this visit for a long time and can’t recommend it enough. Thank you.
