Amazing food, huge portions, very kind service and local atmosphere. We took a menu for 29 per person and we weren’t even able to finish some of it, because we were so full. Blueberry grappa at the end was delicious. I can recommend this place 100%.
Best view with best service for local dishes at down to earth pricing. Absolutely recommended
It's a place truly out of this world. One feels like a guest in an old tavern with nice and friendly stuff. Beware - this is not a restaurant, nor a bar. Perfect food and wine is served here. Honestly recommended.
The most wonderful lunch! Best experience we've had all week. We had the 29 menu and were almost defeated by the amount! Everything delicious. Lovely friendly service. The views are amazing. A perfect spot for lunch.
Crotto Isidoro is a pearl with traditional kitchen of northern Italy: polenta (cornmeal like a hot porridge, take Polenta Uncia - it’s amazing!), local unbelievable cheese, salsiccia (sausages), meat. Take set menu for 28.5 including starters, main dish, wine, dessert, coffee and grappe and enjoy your traditional italian dinner. The restaurant is also a perfect view point. You will enjoy your food watching the best landscape of Como lake in front of you. Inside you can see also their own wine storage. Staff is super nice and helpful. Highly recommend!
Amazing views!!!The place is simple with hearty food, home made red wine and sausages!Good for a warm simple dinner with stunning views!
Amazing place with amazing view over lake. Simple but delicious food and wine.
Let's start with the epic view. Well that's all there is to say about the view. It's epic. You'll love it. This place serves traditional, basic food. So if you're a vegan this probably won't be for you, everybody else will find something. The service was great and very friendly you feel instantly at home. Food is good, people are nice, views are...epic.
