Il Diavolo L'acqua Santa

Visiting Italy for the first time, I was craving a Nero pasta. After reading the story of the chefs, we had to go! The restaurant was beautiful and the food was absolutely incredible, from the carpaccio to the Nero, every dish was bliss. Congratulations to the restaurant from the staff and chefs, you have earned high praise from my family and we look forward to coming again in the future! Extremely recommend this restaurant.

What a magical place to enjoy diner. Located in the outskirts of Como you unexpectedly enter this beautiful building. The interior is a combination of old stone walls, concrete floors and wooden ceilings. Greeted by the horse peeking through a hole in de the wall you can have diner in the beautiful lighted garden. The food is of exceptional quality. Original recipes of traditional Italians meals. The wines are in a wide price range. They taste as good as the meals do. The service is quick and most friendly although it misses a personal touch. Yes for three courses you pay around 70 euro’s but it’s definitely worth the money.

Il Diavolo L'acqua Santa was the last restaurant we went to during our stay in the Lake Como region, our dinner there was a fantastic send-off for a fantastic region. The food was very well executed and fresh. Our antipasti was Burrata with cured meats, and it was both delicious and well presented (and also served with additional olive oil, salt, pepper, and balsamic (should you desire to use it) on the side, something that was not offered to us at every restaurant we went to!). Our main dishes were the flank steak with grilled vegetables and the pasta with an orange duck ragout sauce, and both were fantastic. The steak was seasoned well (well enough, even, that I would actually recommend shelling out for one of their more expensive steaks! The steak was good, but it was so tasty that my husband and I both wondered what their filet would taste like), and the duck ragout was one of the most unique dishes we tasted when in Italy. The dessert was great (including a traditional Austrian sacher cake, common in the region, and panna cotta). The last thing I want to note is how beautiful the restaurant was as well. My husband and I were both impressed at how beautiful and spacious the restaurant was, and we really enjoyed the semi-outdoor seating provided to us (they have an area that is outside, but partially enclosed - its extremely romantic!). We would definitely recommend this restaurant again, it was a fantastic place to dine and the experience (and the service) was fantastic.

One of the best restaurant in Como I know! We were there 3-4 times during last half of the year, brought there our dear friends arrived from abroad, celebrated our memorable dates. And every time we stay in wow-mode. Great cuisine, very professional service, highest quality of products, great interior design as well. We will definitely come back again and again, many times more! Bravo! This place really deserves highest marks and greatest reviews!

This restaurant was better than expected. 2 food enthusiasthic tourists randomly selected a restaurant 10mins away from Como. Let’s say we found a dime!! The owner of the restaurant was very friendly and kind. He had the excess to check up on us. Even when the restaurant was busy. Service was top aswell and wow… the design of the place. Beautiful! Let’s not forget about the food here… The combination of ingredients in the dishes were surprisingly and overwhelmingly good. Would visit again in the future!!

Just happened to find this fantastic restaurant by chance. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and the food was delicious. Highly recommend the Tagliatelle with Orange Duck Ragout. The pasta was fresh and the flavors complimented each other very well. It was like nothing I’ve ever had before. The Veal Milanese was cooked to perfection and was a nice thick cut and very tender. This is a must try restaurant if you’re in Como.
