Osteria del Bumbardin

Sensational dinner.
We had one of the most enjoyable dinners during our visit.
The owner was such a character! He was exceptional at describing the food and took great pride in his food & menu.
The menu is small which we prefer - it’s clear the ingredients are sourced carefully.
We loved it so much!

Great food and great experience. This nicely located restaurant with a garden in an old patio offers authentic Italian food in very pleasant atmosphere. The owner is very friendly and perfectly describes all the menu items before you make your choice. We had the bruschetta trio, tortellini with ricotta and spinach, grilled sliced beef with grilled vegetables and slowly cooked beef with potato purée. All delicious and top quality. Highly recommended!

We had dinner at Osteria del Bumbardin the first night we stayed at Dongo. And we were so impressed by the kitchen that we returned the second evening.

The interior is simple and the menu has local food (around 5 starters and 5 main courses plus desserts). So you can assume that everything is made freshly.
Exactly what you await from a classical Osteria. Classical and local fresh food.
It’s not very cheap, but price-value ratio is perfect.
Every meal we had was perfect!
The owner and his son (?) who mostly runs the service are both super friendly and make you feel welcome and comfortable.
We would definitely recommend and return!

The restaurant has a very cozy courtyard and serves beautiful and delicious Italian food. The owner and staff are very knowledgeable and advise you very well on wine choice and how to experience their dishes in the best way. Thank you for having us twice. (Listen to them and you won't regret it)

Everything was perfect! The location super cute, the owner and the personal very friendly and welcoming! The food was really delicious, the portions adequate and the price fair for the quality! The dishes of the day were a must try! Totally worth a visit and definitely coming back to this paradise of taste :)

I saw all the 5 star ratings and decided do go there. Yes I'm in love with italy but this is truly gem hidden in Dongo.
The manager and his staff was extremely friendly and helpful and gave good suggestions about the food choices.
Local dishes with local wine was a perfect match and the small patio inside the place just made it perfect.
Even if we had to go there on a scooter in the poring rain I would definitely do it again. Make sure to make a reservation as the tables are limited.

We phoned to book in advance as it was full on a weekday night. The owners were super friendly and passionate about their food. We ordered the funghi tagliatelle, carbonara and risotto with bone marrow beef. All were so good, for me the carbonara was heavenly! The local red wine recommended was also very good, just the right blend of flavour. This restaurant was in an alley and they have a nice garden terrace especially in this nice summer weather. Highly recommended and we’ll be back!

If you’re in Como… you have to visit this place for dinner!! Spectacular!! What a charming venue ❤🇮🇹

Was there for dinner. The “taglieri” of cheeses, local sausages, ham and bresaola can be a super tasty choice for a light dinner, an apero or even a dinner, accompanied by wines and beers from the local brewery Legnone. The place, in the nucleus of Dongo, is fresh, cozy and very traditional. A bit of swing music is making the dinner super relaxing.

My wife and I had an amazing time at Osteria del Bumbardin. The host was very welcoming and had no problems explaining each dish in English. The food was amazing and the restaurant had a very nice open garden area to eat at.

I would recommend this to anyone visiting Dongo. 10 out of 10!

This place deserves 5 stars in everything. Quality food in great quantities at very affordable price. The owner is friendly and love to take care of his clients, taking the time to explain how the food is prepared and what to visit in the surrounding. The place is cozy, cured and welcoming. It is a “must go“ when visiting the lake of Como.

Best restaurant in Dongo if you are staying nearby. The service was second to none, well explained menu, and they clearly take passion in local ingredients and their heritage. The portions aren’t small if you are planning on going for all of the courses!

If you are going to Dongo, you should definitely eat at Osteria del Bumbardin. Everything there is authentic, the food is tasty, the wine well chosen and Marco the owner of the restaurant is a passionate man.

One word: Great! Best dinner I had in almost 3 weeks travelling trough Italy. So glad I went to this place on my way back to Amsterdam. Good service and even better food. Pure Italian class! Bellissimo!!!

Best osteria during our holidays at lake Como. Small menue but all our dishes were extremely delicious. Chef himself explained the menue. Very kids friendly.

This is the real italian kitchen you are looking for! It has a small card but that’s what makes every meal so good and authentic. A lot of local products are used for the food and the owner. The owner explained the whole card where everything is from and what it is and took his time so we understood everything. You notice he and his team put a lot of love and work in there food so nothing but compliments! Want to taste the real italian kitchen with great wines, this is the place to go, we enjoyed it 100%! Grazie

The restaurant is very cozy with nice music. The owner of the restaurant was very friendly and patient to explain each meal from the menu. The quality of the food was really nice.

It was just perfect! One of the best Carbonara I've had so far abd the Tiramisu was delicious! Thank you so much for a wonderful and tasty evening!

We had a wonderful evening here at Osteria del Bumbardin. The owner was very welcoming, really took his time to explain us all the dishes with obvious passion. No pastas or pizzas here, just authentic cold plates with local ingedrients. The quality of the food was outstanding! The place to go if you're looking for a real italian authentic experience on the shores of Lago di Como.
