It was our first time at the restaurant. We had a reservation for 7pm and good thing we did because there were a few ppl waiting and we were that seated right away. Right away, it’s totally more than meets the eye because from the outside it looked like an ordinary place but when you see the inside, the vibe is lively and enjoyable. We were seated at a more intimate setting and that was nice of them because it was my girl’s bday. She had the spaghetti with fried eggplant and she said she never tasted anything like this before. It was creamy and the noodles were fresh. I had the braised rabbit and it was tender and soft. The broth reminded me of a certain Asian comfort dish I love and that made it more the better to eat it. However, I had the mistake of eating 2 hrs prior when we got to town that we ended up not finishing our meal. I felt bad and defeated because we weren’t able to finish our meal. But next time, we learned our lesson and not to do that again. I would definitely recommend a reservation because you’ll need it. I will definitely go there again when the time comes. Yea we

Lovely Italian restaurant. Great service and wonderful vibe. The veal Milanese was delicious. The pasta was trying to be innovative, but I think it could be better. Great proseco in good price. Good desserts. We loved the lemon sorbet. Must reserve a table at weekends. It gets very busy.

Lago Di Como is an absolute gem of a restaurant with an authentic atmosphere that makes you feel like part of the family. The service is warm and attentive with your waiter, support staff and the owner checking up on your table. The food is consistently excellent with organic housemade pastas and the drinks and desserts are delicious. I've been here twice with my boyfriend—once we brought family and second time with friends—and both times were wonderful. Excited to keep coming back!

Very authentic Italian restaurant. The rabbit was delicious.

Excellent service, but thought that the food was heavy and not especially original. Very noisy. I might go back if I'm wanting some heavy comfort food. Too much fried food on menu. Excellent Caesar salad!

So good I did my rehersal dinner here. Has taken a huge step up in terms of quality in the last year. Fresh everything, most locally sourced. Superb staff.
Wonderful Italian food, I believe the owner is from the Lake Como region and the food reflects this. This was our second time and we will be back. Exceptional service, ambiance, great neighborhood and they now have a nice outdoor dining area too. Looks like they are opening up an Italian deli market on the corner of 17th and Portola soon which I'm excited to try. Love this place!

The food is on par with La Posta, but the atmosphere is more lively and loud.

Seeing this place being fully occupied on a weeknight, we had high expectation for their fresh pasta and really looked forward to it. Enjoyed the vibrant and old school atmosphere. Service was a bit slow but not bad. However, other than appetizer, both pastas and cheesecake were disappointing.

This restaurant was highly recommended by a lot of people, so we met some out-of-town friends for dinner. We sat at the patio because they had their dog with them. The patio was very comfortable. Soon after we sat down, and got comfortable and ordered our drinks, the chef send out two complimentary plates of Pasta e Fagioli (Pasta Fazool), and it was really good. He brought them out himself. Dinner was very good; the food was fresh and prepared well, it was perfect. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. I had the Tagliatella all Bolognese, comfort food, and it was perfect. And dessert with an espresso was the perfect ending to a great evening. We had the Tiramisu and the Seadas di Sardegna, they were both great. The staff and owners were very tentative and took very good care of us. We will definitely be back.
