Our Story
Our restaurant has always been our father’s childhood dream. His uncle donated to him a piece of land, very steep and with a limited sun exposition, but with a breathtaking view over the Peninsula of Bellagio and central area of Lake Como.
As he grew up, he started passionately working on this project with his motto always in his mind “observe others’ work and make it yours!”.
After many years of hard work, the building was finished and the restaurant officially opened in 1981.
In the meantime he got married with Elisabetta, our mother, and a few years later we all arrived! Betta quickly got passionate about the cooking and soon became the chef while we became the waiters.
Nowadays our children follow the same path: Martino, Noah, Niccolò, Gaell, Cecilia ed ElisaSole are moving the first steps into the restaurant and the kitchen during the holidays!
Peasants'origins
Our grandparents, who were farmers, shared with us all their passion, love and devotion for the cultivation of the land. They also taught us the respect and the appreciation of the nearby area alongside with the importance of the enhancement of the resources it offers.
As a consequence, once finished the schools, Cristiana – agronomist – and Isacco – cheesemaker – opened their agricultural company. With knowledge, passion and a bit of fantasy they used to produce cheeses, berries and jams
while Alessandro the chef and myself Chiara, waiter, proudly offered these products to our clientele.

Stunning views
The lake’s waters, the various shadows of green of the nearby mountains’ slopes
and the blue sky along with the colours of the sun…
Memories from the past when everything was easier, slower, poor but authentic! At our restaurant we preserve old tools as la penagia (used to make butter,) or la canaula, a wooden collar for cattle and much more…
Our philosophy
A new era, a new identity. One foot in the past to preserve and share the tradition and wisdom from our ancestors and one foot in the future where thanks to the new trends and gastronomic innovations, we are able to offer the most special dishes with amazing tastes, fragrances and colours.
Our philosophy also pays attention to the respect of the environment and to the sustainability.
We choose renewable energy sources and we buy cleaning products with low environmental impact. Finally, we prefer to buy products from small local companies.
