"The restaurant, refined and with a very romantic atmosphere, integrates perfectly with the ancient building that hosts it. The well-set table is very elegant and totally deviates from the increasingly widespread fashion of tables without tablecloths and essentials. I went to the restaurant with my boyfriend and we both opted for the Monte dei Pegni tasting menu, asking for a variation of the dessert in one of the two menus. As for the wine, we trusted the waiter 's advice and were very satisfied. The dishes, pleasing to the eye and to the taste, demonstrate an attention to detail on the part of the kitchen consistent with that seen in the details in the dining room. I particularly appreciated the seared scallops with celeriac puree, black sauce and sea asparagus, and the dessert: prickly pear ice cream with pistachio macaroon, ricotta cream and chocolate soft serve. My boyfriend, on the other hand, thought the duck ham with orange, endive tatin, and carrot cream with cardamom was very interesting. The staff is very professional and attentive to customer needs. We really appreciated that the kitchen spontaneously customized one of the two desserts for our anniversary. I consider the prices to be consistent with what the restaurant offers. I hope that the restaurant soon reaches the recognition it deserves, we will definitely be back!

"Strongly not recommended to anyone who wants to organize any event (from a simple dinner to a birthday) in this place. I don't usually give negative reviews, but unfortunately this time I feel compelled to do so to avoid what happened to us to other people. My girlfriend decides to celebrate her birthday at this place, having already been there several times. Then contact the venue well in advance (3 weeks) to explicitly request to book an independent room for you and your guests, in order to have a room at your disposal where you can celebrate in peace with a bit of music. The restaurant responds by telling her that it is possible and therefore agrees to reserve the room just for her. In the following days, we called the venue several times to define further details, communicate the exact number of guests and receive confirmation of the exclusive independent room, reiterating this last need several times to which we were always responded positively. Unfortunately, on the same day of the birthday, an hour before entering the venue (literally an hour before), they call us telling us that they have decided to assign the room we booked to other people who needed to see the final of the Sanremo festival and therefore they had reserved a space for us in the main room shared with other people. Being unable to find alternatives and to avoid ruining our birthday, we are forced to confirm our presence. Once we arrive at the venue, we point out our disappointment, but the person we turned to simply limits himself to justifying himself, trying to convince us (in vain) that the new solution is better than the agreed upon one, without even apologizing for the inconvenience created and the failure to respect word. So to avoid ruining the party we decide to stay in the common room. Furthermore, a member of staff, while pouring wine into one of the glasses, accidentally spilled some of it on my girlfriend's dress. Here too, no apology was received and not even a proposal for a solution to the damage caused. To conclude the evening, we would have expected at least preferential treatment on the final price, but this was not the case. We were presented with a penny bill, despite the amount spent. Given what happened, I strongly advise against anyone thinking about organizing an event at this venue. The staff lacks personality and unfortunately also lacks fairness towards their customers. It was a terrible experience that I hope others won't have to experience again."

"Splendida cantina in località Tremezzina, situata dopo una breve scalinata di fronte al Lario. All'interno si presenta come una vera cantina con la pietra naturale a vista, con moltissime bottiglie di vino esposte sia all'ingresso che al piano superiore, dove si trovano i primi posti a sedere, costituiti da vere e proprie botti di vino adibite a tavoli. Al piano ancora sopra vi è un terrazzino decorato con un pergolato di viti vere, e se si è fortunati da un paio di questi tavoli si può scorgere il lago. Nel menu' vi sono salumi e formaggi tipici a Km 0 e anche altri prodotti di alta qualità tra cui la lonza, il black angus, il crudo di parma 24 mesi e anche tranci di pizza. La scelta di vini è molto ampia comprendente tutte le regioni dell'Italia e di varie annate, con prezzi molto onesti(idem per il mangiare). I proprietari Joost e Deborah e anche i camerieri Leo e Sara oltre ad essere molto simpatici, professionali e cordiali, sono grandi conoscitori del Vino e hanno tutti quanti frequentato corsi da sommelier. se si hanno dubbi in merito al vino da scegliere, loro ti aiutano volentieri nella scelta con spiegazioni ben dettagliate. Così e così il caffè, mentre sono buonissimi i dolci tra cui una selezione di cioccolati di modica. Finché ho abitato nei pressi di questo posto lo ho frequentato ogni settimana. non si può non apprezzare. Un abbraccio dai ragazzi di Gallio!"
