"We went for lunch here on a sunny Saturday without a reservation. The restaurant was extremely busy but the waiter found us a table so that was appreciated. The restaurant is very big and so there were many tables to be served but certain aspects were overlooked for example our table cloth was full of stains (drops of wine or vinegar . This didn't give me a sense of cleanliness of the space at all. The waiter brought us the wrong water and we saw one trying to block the sun coming inside the room by sticking a table cloth inside the window I mean!!?? There's other solutions. Once the starter came (the mixed seafood platter , I was very disappointed. They tried to do something out of the box by mixing flavours together (mango, avocado and other sauces.. , how they did it, it made no sense, it tasted very weird. And the presentation was odd. My main was a pan fried white fish with rice. The fish was flavourless, they totally forgot to put any salt or pepper in the batter. The portion was not very generous. The dessert was also disappointing again the flavours were so unbalanced and consistency terrible! My Amaretto semifreddo had a weird texture and extremely hard to cut. I do not recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a local fish restaurant this is very basic and not attentive to quality."

"I realy don't understand the good recommendations. Been here multiple times now since i thought everybody can have a bad day. Short: dirty glasses on table (i mean really dirty. You clean the yourself before pouring anything in) food took 2.5 hours food came not at once but each person and different time no staff service after order 1 drink for you thats it. During our dinner there were multiple guests which just left do to the long waiting time for drinks food and staff at all. We waited around 1 hour before we got 1 appetizers plate and another 1.5h for our actual food, which was cold when delivered. Dont get me wrong, the fish tastes good but that's it. If you ordered 1 drink at the beginning you wont see any waiter to ask for more until you get your food. Considering that took them each time at least 1 hour service is terrible. They are very friendly but slow and understaffed. I will not come again since i dont think 3 hours for a dinner is appropriate when i leave with a half empty stomach, cold food in my belly and a rage in my chest due to the same experience over and over. 2 stars for decent fish but thats it."

"horrible. I waited for 2 hours only to receive a dish, they wronged the order also they couldn't even fix: many did not have glasses other forks. the dishes were very small portions 9 euros for 6 and I say 6 varesini the skewers were carbonized means and they were so small that they seemed 1 roast in everything. do not go there ps: it is not the first time"

"Locale con atmosfera molto particolare in cornice caratteristica (tipico paesino dell'Alto Varesotto), personale competente e preparato per i vini. Il proprietario è molto simpatico e si vede che ci mette passione. Forse servirebbe una maggiore illuminazione al tavolo, non mi piace mangiare quasi nella penombra (voglio proprio vedere bene cosa mangio, anche perché tendo a sezionare, tipo chirurgo, certe portate come la carne). Non è un locale con vasta scelta di piatti, circa quattro per portata ma le scelte sono curate, con buoni accostamenti. Non posso commentare i dolci perché non ho preso nulla, comunque sembravano molto appetitosi dall'aspetto. Devo dare tre stelle perché nel mio caso specifico, non potendo assumere latte e derivati, non mangiando pesce di lago e nemmeno agnello/capretto, mi sono ritrovata con una scelta un po' limitata. Dovrei riprovare a tornare quando viene cambiato il menù, con una scelta che magari rispecchi maggiormente i miei gusti personali e/o limitazioni di dieta."
