The pretty waitress from Albania was able to converse in fluent English and we greatly appreciate that. The pizza and panini were delightful. The drinks were nice and the overall ambience was good.

Lovely service, delicious food (we had Greek salad, spicy pizza and pizza Margherita). Everything was tasty and for a very reasonable price. As an added bonus you also get a lake-view if you sit outside.

Cannot fault the wonderful service, slight hitch in ordering but everyone could not have been kinder. The food was wonderful, the customer service can not be faulted and the view is unparalleled. Thankyou for a fantastic meal!

During our May trip to Lake Como, we visited several cities and dined at numerous restaurants, but none compared to this charming little café in Lecco. The moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The food here is simply outstanding. The pizza is perfectly baked with a thin, crispy crust and generous, fresh toppings. The pasta dishes are equally impressive—authentic, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. And the tiramisu? Absolutely divine—light, creamy, and just the right amount of coffee flavor. What truly sets this place apart, however, is the staff. They are incredibly friendly, attentive, and always wearing a smile. It felt more like visiting old friends than just eating out. Unlike many other places we visited in the area, the prices here are refreshingly reasonable, especially considering the high quality of both the food and service. If you’re in Lecco or anywhere near Lake Como, make sure to stop by this fantastic spot. You won’t be disappointed!

What a great place. Inside a beautifull ambiance. The a little outdoor spot and a Nice terras. The vibe is absurd chill.

2nd time in lecco. Found this cafe/bar by accident 5yrs ago. Pizza is the best and I had a hamburger which was excellent also. The staff were welcoming and attentive although very busy. Will visit again if I get the opportunity.

The best Margherita Pizza I’ve ever had. Generally I’ve never liked the pizza crust, however this time I’ve finished it all!!! Greek salad very generous black olive and again generally I’ve always had salty black olive whenever ate outside. Love the atmosphere and the friendly excellent service. I would like to come back there again whenever visit Lecco

The coffee was incredible, great pizza, great croissant. The waiters speak great English, the atmosphere is great whether you sit in or out. Outside you can sit close to the lake, providing beautiful views. Very much recommend
