il Birrificio di Como

Wide choice of second courses and excellent beer. also gluten-free.

We went to eat here several times and I must say good food, possibility of gluten-free pizza and very nice atmosphere and very kind staff... except for the girl on the house (bassetta) who should lower her wings a bit! Having asked us the question, is everything ok?! Thinking of receiving a YES! But this wasn't the case because we made a negative comment about the desserts not being exactly the same as what was described on the menu, but perhaps as always she was expecting a yes and immediately went gray and was very annoyed, almost grumpy. Fix this piece and everything will be perfect. However despite her recommended.

We went to eat here on suggestion from our B&B host (B&B Hotel Como Camerlata) as they could give us a 10% discount. At the restaurant we were greeted by several waiters who barely spoke English and didn’t understand much we said. We communicated we had to eat “senza glutine” (gluten-free) as we both have Celiac disease. When we asked for the gluten-free bread the waiter put a bag of bread on our table and said nothing about it. After we took out the bread and put it on our plate, the waiter came back and told us “no gluten-free”, even though we specifically asked for ONLY gluten-free food. Horrible mistake which could’ve cost us our 2 weeks vacation. The caprese afterwards was very bland and not as juicy as you’d expect an Italian mozzarella to be. My angus steak was cooked nicely to my preferred rareness and the greens were fine. My girlfriend’s rösti had a horribly bland taste and the sausages had a bad aftertaste too. As if it was all pre-made. After all these blunders we got out of here as soon as possible. Added to this the atmosphere was really tasteless and there were a lot of loud people who disregarded that they were at a restaurant. Cannot recommend eating here. !!ESPECIALLY NOT IF YOU HAVE CELIAC DISEASE!!
