"Home restaurant Aquarelle was one of the most outstanding and memorable dining experiences we’ve had the privilege of experiencing throughout our travels. Marisa and Gino were the most gracious and lovely hosts, my husband and I were continuously blown away by the beautiful home and life they live in the stunning Palanzo in lake Como and there are no words in the English language to describe the beauty and experience their place has to offer. My husband and I were just in sheer awe the entire evening. It was truly a blessing to have the opportunity to have a home cooked multi-course meal prepared for just the two of us and get to enjoy it atop of this incredible view above lake Como and the lovely village they live in. I found this place on google while researching restaurants in the local area and have since told approximately 25+ people about how phenomenal this experience is, there is truly something extremely magical about having dinner at Marisa and Gino’s and I can vouch it’s well worth trying to get here because it will be one of the most memorable dining experiences of your life. Our only regret is not being able to eat and drink more due to our limited appetites that evening due to recovering from recent illness but we attest that every dish that was brought out was phenomenal, beautiful, a work of art, and made with love by hand. Overall it was one of the most special and magical dinners we’ve ever had and if we’re ever back in Palanzo/lake Como, we will absolutely be back again- I cannot recommend it enough, everyone MUST try this exquisite restaurant!! It was truly life changing."

"We had a wonderful evening. The view from the rooftop was amazing. Delicious food, all cooked just for us two. Great hospitality. We payed 55€ in total for several different courses and a bootle of wine. More than fair prices."

"This place is amazing, can’t recommend enough! You’ll have to call/email them to make a reservation preferably a day before. They will ask if you have any allergies or your preferences and they will whip you a great course meal! Everything was amazing, they grew their vegetables in their garden so everything you get is organic. The owners were so lovely too. Honestly best meal I’ve had by far!"
