Right off the beaten track, just behind the Serfontana Commercial Centre, Chiasso, you will find a hostelry that takes you back in time. Frequented by locals speaking in dialect, with a huge wood-burning fireplace, this 'grotto' (local name for a rustic eatery) can't have changed much in a hundred years. But the food is extra special - the home-made noodles with wild mushrooms is spectacularly good (tagliatelle ai porcini), as are their pumpkin dishes, soup ( zuppa di zucca) and dumplings ( gnocchi di zucca).Recipes are based on local and seasonal produce. Try the Tomini - locally made soft cheeses.Just one word of warning - the bill - like everything else in Switzerland - is not old-fashioned!

My husband and I came here on Monday night during our lake como visit.The restaurant has a very cute, family, cozy atmosphere. The other customers seem to be local rather than tourists. We ordered two pasta dishes and another secondi dish, and we LOVED their pasta. I LOVE pasta and I sometimes find pasta too salty, but not this one. It was al Dante and the sauce was amazing. It was actually one of the best that Iâve ever had. I am still thinking about it today. Also, the owner and the waiter (not sure if it was his son) was very kind and the service was great.Highly recommend this place!

Dining at Villa DâEsteâs beautiful Veranda restaurant is definitely special. The superb service complemented the beautifully presented, excellent cuisine which in turn did full justice to the room and setting. A truly elegant and enjoyable experience. My wife is a soufflé expert and very rarely does she give a soufflé 10/10 even at 2 and 3 star Michelin restaurants ...but she did at Veranda. From the pre-dinner vegetable and seafood tempura nibbles at the bar (accompanied by their resident pianist) to the amuse bouche and every course, this was a lovely dinner. The sommelier was equally excellent. The style of food perfectly compliments Villa DâEste and Lake Como and is clearly up there with Michelin two star restaurants even if, due to their terrific style of cuisine being more Mediterranean than sauce heavy, they are not even trying to compete with Michelin establishments...they donât need to. Veranda is equal to many of the very best restaurants we have visited over the years and is actually a one-off in a class of its own. It is rare for a hotel restaurant to be this good! Donât hesitate in booking, you will not be disappointed.

Cooked on an expensive BBQ? I could have given the chefs a lesson here, wait until the flames have died before you put a very poor piece of pork on it. And can the staff please the plates. Personally I would go here (we are staying), have a drink and leave for one of the nice local restaurants nearby. Lovely views but supercilious and expensive nonsense. Dear Mikey,thank you so much for having taken the time to share your concerns about your recent experience at Terrazza 241. I am extremely sorry that we didnât reach your expectation in terms of food quality, our Italian culinary team, carefully cook freshly every day the food, which come from local quality and niche suppliers, I can guarantee that your experience it is not up to our standard, which ultimately are much appreciated by international and local community. Thanks again to highlight such an important point, and thanks to help us to improve our offer.I hope in the next future we will have the opportunity to welcome you back in order to demonstrate you our improvement.Best regards,Vincenzo SulmonaManager Terrazza 241e-mail: [email protected]

We had the fish starter as a sharing plate which cost 27 euros and was raw which we didn't expect. My main was an average pasta with a few prawns in it and my wife had a steak with about 7 potatoes. Including the house wine the bill was 100 euros which was far too much for the quality. The service was very nice though.

Glad to find such a great restaurant in the small town of Chiasso that opens for dinner. The beef tartar was fresh and well seasoned, tasted amazing on buttered white bread. The menu was handwriten by the chef based on today's fresh produce. My server was handsome, sweetly translated the whole menu for me and picked the perfect wine. The owner and server shaked my hand before I left and said 'see you again soon'. I left feeling cheered up by the hospitality. I definately will be back again!

Overall a really nice relaxing atmosphere & the staff were very friendly and the service really couldnât have been better.Food was good well presented but I thought some dishes could have more depth of flavour especially the appetisers & 1 course & desert The main I had the duck which was probably the best duck I have ever tasted, the crispy skin was very sweet & maybe could have benefited from a little heat or salt I was expecting the best tiramisu I have it looked amazing but I think could have had a more intense flavour for meBut overall I would recommend this restaurant

Reviewed By atl_trav917
We had the classic menu with wine pairing for dinner, The price was very reasonable and the creativity for each course was outstanding. What made the pricing even more remarkable was an amuse bouche and petit fours (in addition to menu items) that more closely resembled food temples in Paris but at a "menu" price well under half that for a Michelin one star. Our impressions before the trip was that Como area would be overpriced and just basic Italian food, that may be true of Bellagio (which was a crowded mess) but not the rest of the area. Very highly recommend Materia if in the area, worth the trip.

One of the few Michelin restaurants in the region. Decor is quite dissapointing, it felt a little like an old age home. Service isnt as sharp as other Michelins, though they are friendly. Probably my biggest criticism are the prices which are easily 30-40 Euros more expensive then other 1 star Michelin restaurant menu options. Why do Swiss establishments feel entitled to over-charge? O.k, now about the food: we had the largest menu option (8 courses). Food was good, not menorable though. The dessert courses were much more impressive. Nice to meet the young Chef. I feel with a decor makeover, finer service training, a drop in price and a little more imagination with the main courses this place could be much better.

Carlinos Ristorante is walking distance from my favorite Hotel Garni Cento situated in the midst of central Chiasso right across the Italian border in Switzerland. Carlinos is a perfect destination for a relaxing and romantic evening or dinner out with the family. Serving specialty Italian pasta dishes and fantastic oven fired pizzas, I was delighted by the warm, welcoming staff. No one here spoke English but made every effort to accommodate our party. As an added bonus, there is an old fashioned pinball machine in one corner, which the locals refer to as "flipper"! This was my favorite restaurant in Switzerland. Carlinos in Chiasso is magnificent!!!!! Sent from my iPad
