Lovely staff, all very smiley, we turned up late, around 10pm and choose a cocktail off the extensive list and a huge ice cream sundae each. Gorgeous. Prices very fair for the district. Went back twice. Recommend it.

We ate at Helvetia three times in our six days in Tremezzo. You can arrive casual and receive the same warm welcome from the friendly hard-working staff every time. I had the wood oven baked pizza twice, one with gorgonzola, and the other with spicy sausage. The other meal was local trout covered with fresh sage leaves, served with fried... More

My wife and two adult sons and I ate here for lunch on a day-trip from Bellagio. It had a simple, nicely decorated interior with a beautiful, full-bar. Our appetizers, pizza and pastas were very good and we would certainly eat here again.

We enjoyed this restaurant so much we went for both lunch and then dinner! The head waiter was so warm and friendly and gave us some great recommendations for wine and mains. The service was great and very laid back. The food was delicious and the prices great! Very good value for money. Highly recommend this restaurant.

The owners were not very friendly and pretty nervous,but the staff was very kind. The waiter,whose name is Michel, was very professional and helpfull. The menu is quiet varied,and of good quality. The icecreams are very good,with enough choice. Good choise of wines. The view of the lake is spectacular and the landcape is stunning.

After touring Villa Carlotta, we were trying to find a place for lunch in Tremezzo. Walked down the road and found this place and decided to give it a try. There was outdoor seating, but as it was a cool, rainy day we wanted a table inside the small restaurant. Waiter said several tables were paying their bills and would... More

Very reasonable prices for very tasty food. The menu has a larger selection than the restaurant name suggests

What more can one add to the subject of gelato. After a long trek through the gardens, it is just the thing to comfort you! I'm not sure this is a real word, but I'd say it was deliciato!

We are regular visitors to Tremezzo an, as a result, very regular visitors to the Helvitia. The staff are always friendly and helpful, the food always good, the service attentive even at the busiest of times. A great place to sit and wile away an evening; as we have done very often!! Visit, relax and enjoy.
