Went with the prix fixe menu. Service was excellent and staff were very attentive. The restaurant was empty. Only my wife and myself and one other couple in a large restaurant. Seemed very odd that the restaurant was nearly entirely empty. The food is prepared with great care. The problem was the marrying of the flavors. The combinations of the food and the flavor of the individual parts did not equal an enjoyable entirety. For instance, the polenta bread was very poor and both my wife and I hardly touched it. It was like grain tree bark. The cost for both of us was quite high (over $500) and we are accustomed to much better Michelin food flavor for this price. Again, the ambiance, service and presentation were top notch. But, the flavor of the food for the cost was disappointing.

Real and well-made hamburgers with fresh products High waiting time Just prices even low for the period

Wonderful experience. The view of the lake was only surpassed by the creativity and taste of the meal. A must stop while at Lago Maggiore region

We were very impressed with the restaurant from the moment we sat down at the corner table facing Mergozzo. What an incredible vista. The staff was always attentive, but not overly so, and their help with menu selection was key. We both went with their homage to dishes that had been created over past decades, and they easily obliged when my wife wanted to substitute for the eel, to which she has an aversion. They had us from the first plate, which was a smoked trout with excellent consistency, very interesting tastes, and a gorgeous presentation. I can&rsquo;t go over all of the dishes, but will mention that highlights include the sauces surrounding the local cheese flan, the tenderness of the scampi, the flavour combinations with the eel (and its perfect cooking), as well as the character of the kid and it&rsquo;s eggnog accompaniment. The only issue we had was with the chef&rsquo;s surprise, which was a pasta served before the kid. We we&rsquo;re having some difficulty getting through the quantity of food, so the pasta was too heavy for our liking. But the quality of everything was beyond reproach. We started with a champagne cocktail, and had two glasses of wine each to pair with the food. The sommelier did an excellent job of matching wines for us. Again, thank you to the very helpful and personable staff.

Fantastic view. Sitting literally over the lake with the mountain view. Food innovative with a cacophony of flavors and textures and sights. Flexible enough to allow different degustation menus to be ordered by each diner. Great wine list with emphasis on Piedmontese wines. Unforgettable experience!  Well worth the small detour

Nothing but greatness. Food,, service, atmosphere. Keep on your must go to list while in Positano. Wayne, NC 8./23/22
