| - With tables outside under an awning and a beautiful interior, you can not go wrong no matter where you choose to be seated. The staff is very friendly and they speak English which put me at ease and added to my positive experience. We asked to sit outdoors under the awning. This is a nice size terrace with about a dozen tables, nicely spaced, and set with a heavy, cloth like paper cover with napkins of the same high quality and solid utensils.
Yelpers, once again you helped me make the perfect dining choice. With the raves about the pizza and burgers, we had to try both. They have a full menu and I couldn't dine on Lake Como without sampling some of their fresh lake fish, so we added that to the order as well. Lets just say we 'paced' ourselves and they kindly allowed us to share each course.
First up was pizza. My Fav added a little pepperoncini oil to spice his up. The outer crust was cooked to a golden brown and crispy. The interior crust was still soft enough that if desired, I could have 'folded' a slice to eat 'NY' style. I used a knife and fork and very much enjoyed this pizza.
After a bit of time to digest, next up was the cheeseburger. If you are an American, looking for some comfort food, look no further. They have 'nailed' it! This is an American style hamburger; grilled bun and all. Lettuce, tomato and sliced pickles on the side to add if you choose. The bacon is served 'crudo' and the burger cooked medium rare (we did not specify, but generally, you will get a burger in Italy rare to medium rare so specify if you want it well done!) Accompanied by steak fries, that were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, served with a sweet, barbecue ketchup that is very nice.
Again, there was a nice delay before our next course of pan fried lake fish served with a side of vegetables and large lemon wedge. The batter is similar to a tempura and the fish cooked light and fluffy. I am very glad I chose this dish at the suggestion of our waitress.
This was the first meal of the day for us, and yes, we ate a lot of food, but, I wasn't done yet. (Think I shocked the waitress!) A macchiato and tiramisu rounded up this meal. From first bite, I was in love with this tiramisu. Creamy custard, soft cake, chocolate on top. So glad I didn't skip dessert! I would definitely stop at Baba Yaga again!
