Roteo

Run, don’t walk, to ROTEO. I cannot praise our dining experience enough. We have dined all over the world from tiny family owned kitchens to 2 and 3 star Michelin restaurants. ROTEO deserves AT LEAST 1, if not 2, Michelin stars. The service, the flavors, the story, the value- it’s all there. For about €120 pp you can sit back and relax while they treat you to an unforgettable evening. The intimate dining room (maybe 20 seats?) is a piece of contemporary art with lights hanging at precise angles to illuminate the table scape intentionally and large sweeping views of the lake. The team was on point with excellent course descriptions and glasses that remained full and plates clearer. The cuisine was an unbelievable fusion of Asian and Italian techniques and flavors while maintaining proudly firm local roots. For my husbands birthday they brought out additional treats and even helped us remember the occasion with a photo they provided for us. Upon deliberation with my husband, he says this is his favorite meal EVER and I happily place it in my top 5. Oh and don’t sleep on Bar Gaia, their adjoining bar, for a creative and daring cocktail menu. Unforgettable evening in Como. Thanks for helping us with this memory.

What an incredible dining experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and refined. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor—you can tell a lot of care goes into the menu. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and made the evening feel extra special without ever being overbearing. It’s the perfect place for a celebration or simply treating yourself to something memorable. I can’t wait to come back!

If I could give this restaurant 6 stars I would. Everything here was top notch. Food, service and ambiance was nothing short of Michelin star standard. Service here was like a well choreographed dance always in sync but never intrusive. I loved the fact that to keep diners occupied between the time between ordering and plating of starters, we had a fun game of spotting the “pea butterfly”. Such a sweet gesture and one that would remain with me for a while. Food wise, this restaurant was peerless in balancing Italian with international influences. We had the most amazing pasta and Perch Wellington. Pudding was equally mind blowing, special mention to the chocolate olive dessert. Sounds odd, but take the staff’s word for it, it’s one of the most marvellous desserts I’ve had on this recent trip to Italy. Will certainly be back!

Just finished a most excellent dining experience here at Roteo with my partner! Having dined at multiple Michelin star restaurants, I feel that Roteo is very much deserving of a star, if tonight's meal is their standard. From the hidden "butterflies" to the dessert yogurt with beluga caviar, the food was beautiful, inventive, and most importantly... delicious! They were also able to accomodate my partner's gluten allergy. The service provided by the staff proudly met the level of service received at any of the Michelin restaurants at which we've dined. Indeed, it exceeded some of them. The staff members were attentive, without being stuffy. They worked together as a well oiled machine. Their timing was practically perfect, in my opinion. Just enough time between courses to savor the flavors and talk, without feeling either rushed or that the meal was dragging on. Bravo!

Had a beautiful meal here at Roteo during our stay. The view is just so peaceful and the service was sublime. The food was well executed with more hits than misses. We had the Roteo degustation menu which had their signature dishes with a foie gras dish that blew us away! Their breads, butter and olive oil were just perfect supplements to the whole meal.

Roteo what can I say. From the moment we sat down we were in pure luxury and service. There was never a moment where we weren't attended to with always 5 star service. The food was amazing. The presentation of each dish that we ordered was something that blows your mind for each course that we had. The ambience of the restaurant was super relax and peaceful to really soak up the view of lake como for the sunset. Being such a new restaurant and apart of the 5 star resort it was a pleasure and a highlight of our honeymoon Trip that we were on at the time we visit. Thanks to all the staff and the chefs for such a great experience. See you in the future when we come back again.

First time try fine dining in Italy, really great composition. We can really feel that Chef Nelly and her stuff are working hard create amazing dish mixing different culture and ingredients. Personally love the luccio (lake fish) Wellington, never try before. Restaurants have different wine suggestion too that combine well with all the dish. I will recommend to all to try it one’s

We celebrated the first night of our mini-moon after our wedding with dinner here and it was absolutely fantastic! Wonderful atmosphere, excellent service, exquisite food and wine selection, and the way food was presented was creative. We would highly recommend - thank you!
