Reviews Summary
Cantina Follie is celebrated for its exceptional service, extensive selection of local wines, and delicious platters of cheeses and meats. Diners rave about the cozy atmosphere, especially the charming terrace with views. While some noted a slight drop in service attentiveness after their main course, the overall experience is highly recommended for its quality and unique charm. The restaurant is also noted for being a bit off the beaten path, adding to its hidden gem appeal.
"Enoteca’s staff provide the kind of service you would expect at a top-tier winery without the inflated prices. Reasonably priced meat and cheese platters with an exceptional assortment of wines. I forgot who our waiter was but he brought the wine flight to life."

"Lots of photos already submitted show the food and wine experience here. Unfortunately, my meat and cheese dish had been started before I could take a photo :o)
We had the three wines taster, which were all explained for us. Slight issue here was the size of glass involved was not made clear, perhaps a misunderstanding. It's a shame that the service level dropped in that we were not offered desserts for quite some time after finishing our meat and cheese.
Careful if you are seated against the wall as my wife's top was marked.
The staff were all very friendly, helpful and seemed to be multi-lingual. Overall, the bar is a place worth a visit."

"We were staying down the street and decided to pop in our first night and had a great time!! It seems you need to make reservations if you want to sit outside. But we were totally fine staying downstairs in the cellar. It was so good we went back a second night. The service was great, wine was great and affordable, and the cheese plate was delicious! 10/10 will be back if I ever get the please of visiting Lake Como again."
