Great environment, staff super friendly, they speak multiple lenguages, food was amazing.. something that couls be improved is the temperature of the drinks.. beer and water weren't cold enough.. but I wouldn't lower the score for that.. hopefully they read this and take it to keep improving.. because the rest was amazing.. I'll definitely come back

This place has a lovely outside terrace. We started with the bresaola with grana and burrata, which we really liked! For the main I had the Carbonara di Mare. Biiiig portion of pasta, too little sea fruits. Still tasty, but the balance was a little off. Service was super friendly, which I definitely cannot say about everywhere we ate in Como. Definitely a plus!

Loved the service here. The server asked where we were from and upon learning we were from Ukraine he tried speaking a few Ukrainian words with us, which was incredibly sweet. The food was very good, pizza and tiramisu just top notch. The drinks were great too.

Fernando was the best server! He made our evening so special. He had great recommendations for what to order and drink. We had a bottle of local wine, spaghetti, and lots of mozzarella. We finished the meal with the most delicious meloncello. I’ll be dreaming of this meal for a long time! Whether you’re a local or just visiting, make a stop at Il Farcito. You won’t be disappointed!

Extremely delicious food and very pleasant service! We recommend a visit, every dish was impeccably delicious, the waiters were kind and could give good recommendations. There are special dishes of the day, which are also interesting to taste. It was the best lasagna I have ever eaten! Pasta with seafood was also very tasty, desserts are also great, but the tea is not wow, so it is better to take coffee

In such a high traffic area, we didn't expect the food or service to be outstanding. We were pleasantly surprised! Fernando our server was fantastic, the food was lovely and we even managed to get moved to a table outside when one became available. If you are in the area looking for a bite and a bevie, be sure to stop in!
