Alice Caffe - GRANDATE

The B&B hotel on Via Pasquale Paoli is our regular stopover between Le Marche and the UK, and we’ve usually eaten at Il Birrificio because it’s nearby. Today we had an awful journey through dreadful storms and we were desperate for a meal even though it was only a little after 17.00. Thanks to Tripadvisor we saw that M&M Caffe was only a short distance behind the hotel on a parallel road. What a find!! They organised a lovely meal for us there and then! It rescued the day for us. In future, when we stop off in Como, M&M is where we’ll head for a meal. Thank you M&M Caffe!!!

Located on a main street near the Como Camerlata train station, many of the lunch customers are from the nearby commercial and industrial buildings. Trained as a chef, owner Maurizio invites customers to just sit and enjoy the experience as he creates menus, sometimes at that moment. The food is always good and prices are lower to reflect the working class area. Most days of the week, we eat at M& M.

It has been almost a year since this local bar within our work complex changed hands and atmosphere after Bar Alice sold it.

Excellent cuisine, welcome from the restaurant really excellent. looks like a family. I recommend

Maurizio, the owner, is really a good person, always welcomes us with Roman warmth, and then is one of the few remaining around who still knows how to make a real cappuccino. recommended if you want to start the day with the right charge.
