Osteria Colombo

Absolutely lovely place with best value prices, kind service and free snacks!

As mentioned in other reviews, the service is a bit rough at first glance but totally heartwarming after a moment. You get your obligatory aperol spritz with a wide arrange of snacks delivered to your table. But you shouldn't leave out the daily meals whose are even better.
And did i mention the beautiful waterfront? Now I did!

Nice small spot for a glass of drink and some snacks. You can’t order food here. You get the feeling that it’s an family business run by wife and husband maybe. Very Italian, not touristy. Prices are good. Snacks are good and included.

Great place with amazing food (good prices) and outstanding view for Como! Owners are so kind! 100% recommend! When I'll visit again Mandello del Lario for sure I'll come back here.

Nice and quiet location, generous aperitivo, kind staff.

Lovely find. Small sharing plates, but amazing Pinza's and lovely drinks. Had a vanilla gin and tonic which was amazing. Serve local wines too. We'll worth a visit

Nibbles provided to everyone without asking.
When you first walk in you could imagine visiting an Italian grandmas front room and made just as welcome.
Loved it

Delicious Aperol Spritz, friendly owners and a beautiful view of the lake

Very hospitable and a wonderful cozy ambience. There are snacks on the house with every drink and you just feel very comfortable. After countless overpriced restaurants in the tourist hotspots, this was our first real Italian vacation experience. Absolute insider tip! The host is very sympathetic!

Very nice owners and 5 euros good Spritz. Also the appetizers were big and good.

I took 2 Spritz.

Grazie !!!

We showed up here on Easter night. They served us like family. Despite the language barrier we felt as if we were being served by friends. Not only was the locale worth of visit but the patrons too were as friendly as can be offering a taste of their Easter treats!

Great view, delicious home style food, and warm service. We felt like locals!

Fantastic patio and great view of the lake, great drinks and snacks in mid afternoon! Very friendly owners. A great find while walking along the waterfront!

Lovely place with super friendly owners.

We had fresh Prosciutto, some homemade Pasta and bread, made by the owner himself.

We‘ll definitely be coming back!

Very good drinks and friendly service

Great place, nice staff who like to sing, pleasant atmosphere. We drank two Apperol Spritz and got lots of snacks for 10€ total. We will come again!

Highly recommended!! Within 24 hours we have been there 3 times and felt like home. Nicest hosts and lovely food & wine. A must in Mandello.

Even simple coffee in the place like this taste complitely different!

Gorgeous little place in a little piece of heaven, delicious coffee...but 50 cents for a glass of water to accompany your coffee is a little steep, how about giving free glasses of water? that's not such a abnormality is it

This is one of the nicest place to eat, breakfast or make an aperitivo in mandello. The owners are warm and kind and we feel home and welcomed. Cappuccino are good! Must go if you pass through here.
