Crotto Del Misto Ristorante Hotel is a family-run restaurant with rooms on the lake, located in Lezzeno by Frazione Crotto, Lake Como. People swing in by foot or even by boat and end up lingering—because the food is “simple but perfect,” and the waterfront setting does the rest.
Come hungry. The kitchen leans into the lake: think fresh lavarello and trout done right, plus richer plates like a properly serious Florentine steak when you want to go big. Service handles groups smoothly (yes, even 7 people on short notice), and the vibe stays relaxed—more long family meal than rushed turnover. Save room for dessert: mini tiramisù, crème caramel, sorbet, brownies… it’s dangerously easy to order “just one more.”
For Lake Como restaurant standards, the value feels fair—mid-range pricing for cooking that actually matches the view, not the other way around. It’s the kind of place where you notice the care, from the attentive pacing to the unfussy plating.
Insider tip: Arrive by boat for lunch if you can, or book an early dinner slot—order the brown-butter fish with salsa verde, then pick 2 desserts (minimum). You’ll leave happy—plan your day around it.

3 months agoThe restaurant inside the hotel is excellent, I'd rate it 10 out of 10. They have seafood dishes all sourced from Lake Como itself, and the staff was very helpful and assisted us greatly in choosing halal dishes.

4 months agoEnjoyed fresh lavarello and trout among other treats from the lake at this waterfront restaurant which was an easy walk from our rental. Accommodated our group of 7 with day-of reservations at 8 and provided excellent service. Reasonably priced.
