Reviews Summary
Il Pinzimonio offers delicious traditional Italian cuisine, with many praising the pizzas, cutlets, and friendly service. The spacious and comfortable atmosphere is noted as a plus. However, some diners have experienced issues with order accuracy and perceived overcharging, and a few have found the service to be slow or inattentive.
"While in Lago di Como for a few days we ate at this restaurant twice for lunch, and both times were exceptional. From the start we were seated immediately, and a moment later our drink orders were taken. As soon as we set down our menus, a staff person came by to take our dining order. While waiting on our meals, we noticed the staff always scanning the room, looking for something to do, or someone to attend to. As for the atmosphere, very comfortable, spacious, and clean. As for the food: perfect. Our dishes looked amazing and tasted even better (very flavorful) The food is on the more expensive side, but given the high quality and city, we consider it reasonable.
When we return to Como, we will definitely eat here again."

"Corner restaurant with a nice shared courtyard. The foccacia was really good, fresh and filled with nice salad. The risotto was weird with no flavour except the plain rice, and topped with some fish that were hard rather than crunchy. The filled pasta was tasty. Friendly and efficient service."

"Excellent fast service in a beautiful restaurant in Como. Had lunch and dinner here, both times great.
Service was welcoming, fast and attentive. Good came out quickly and tasted great. Lovely location in a quiet area in Como.
Best gluten free pizza and pasta I have ever eaten 😊"

Enter via the pizza oven (not literally) into the modern two-level space of Pinzimonio with its casual demeanour and simple Mondrian colour aesthetic. The specialty here is cutlets (chicken or pork) served with a variety of cheese or truffle sauces, but it also does fine renditions of the old Italian standards including wonderfully blistered pizzas.
