Ristorante Barchetta

Stopped here for lunch and was pleased with the food. The view is amazing, you have a great view of lake como as your having lunch while sitting on the terrace. The restaurant is located in a little piazza. Prices are fair considering that your in como. If your near by would definitely recommend to stop and have lunch and enjoy the view.

Very nice family restaurant. Good food and good wine 🍷 the owner and his servers are very nice and will try to accommodate you if you need to change the dish. Go there and enjoy you will not be disappointed if like Italian food. Must try the chocolate mousse cake with rum.

Lovely lunch with very good service at lunch time. Not too busy and quick service. Staff spoke English pretty well and gave good options on food.. Lots of older local clients in morning. Nice location just opposite the boat terminal

Authentic, heartwarming Italian food — the best way to start and end our trip We’re a Canadian family traveling through Lake Como, and Ristorante Barchetta in Argegno was the first place we ate — and it left such an impression, we made sure it was also our last meal before heading home. From the moment we stepped in, Antonio made us feel like part of the family. He’s warm, genuine, and pours his heart into his food and restaurant. There’s nothing commercial or touristy about this place — just real, authentic Italian hospitality and unforgettable meals. We asked Antonio for his recommendations and he curated a beautiful dinner: Ossobuco – rich, tender, and full of depth Braised beef cheeks – absolutely melt-in-your-mouth Fresh lake fish – light, simple, and perfectly cooked And a homemade grey pasta — a local specialty we had never seen before. It was fresh, earthy, and uniquely delicious. Even our two picky little minions — who are normally tough customers — devoured their meals. That’s how you know the food is next-level! This place is the real deal. No tourist fluff, no gimmicks — just incredible food, local charm, and Antonio’s passion on full display. Barchetta is a must if you're anywhere near Argegno or Lake Como. We’re heading back to Canada already missing it.

The place was nice and big .. the servants very friendly .. the food was excellent.. I ordered the barchetta fillet steak, some appetizers and pasta. You get a good view of Lake Como from this restaurant. I would recommend this restaurant for travellers And also for local people

The food was so delicious we came back 2 days in a row for dinner. Steak fillet was done to perfection and risotto was super flavourful. Also highly recommend their anchovy dish that cames with a side of bread. Staff were friendly and service was excellent. I ordered the steak 2 days in a row and the server remembered that I preferred medium doneness! Highly recommend for high quality food without breaking the bank.

The food was inedible. Both meals arrived after just 5 minutes. The mushroom tagliatelle was just dried out plain pasta with a few mushrooms chucked on top (with no sauce). The spaghetti carbonara was just as bad with curdled sauce. Never before have I left a restaurant after two bites. No wonder there were no locals in this restaurant. The owner was aggressive and rude, and bullied us in to paying despite not us not wanting any of it.

We went there to get tiramisu which they sadly didn’t have. We ended up ordering the smallest plate of tomato mozzarella for 15€ and some water. You get a basket with very dry bread for free and in the end we had to pay 3€ per person for eating indoors. The food was alright but overpriced and it felt like a tourist trap.
