Il Mannarino Como

Having diner at the Butcher:) We had an amazing and extremely tasting diner at Il Mannarino in Como. Reservation is necessary. It's a busy place because the food is very good! We had starters and tasty meat! You order the 'cut' at the counter, you choose yourself which part you want. Very well coocked (we prefer medium-rare) and had 4 dirrerent cuts. Reasonable prices. Served with baked potatoes, vegetables and Puglia wine. 4 stars for service. The people in the restaurant are very kind. Ordering at the counter is very nice because you can pick the meat yourself. But it creates a bit of dynamics at the table if compared to service/ordering at the table. Just go there, if you like premium beef!

Oh man…where do I begin!? First, one of the best steaks I’ve had anywhere on earth. I’ve eaten a lot of red meat in this life and Il Mannarino ranks as one of the best places for quality grass-fed meats. The place itself is casual upon entering which is a nice balance to the actual meal you’ll have. The guys up front - including Luca - are super helpful and easygoing. Pick the meat you want - lamb, pork, beef, all in a range of forms - and then the size of wine (up to 1L). Then just sit down and get ready for amazing flavor and freshness. Note: please please get the middollo (bone marrow)…it was outrageously good and comes with a simple, circular tartare. My goodness what taste. Late into your experience you’ll get a set of three digestifs - limoncello, fennel (not bitter) and one more I forgot. Drank them all: a nice way to (almost end) the meal. Massive slice of tiramisu was the real ending, barely got a few bites, but quite tasty and light. The bill was shockingly low for the incredible food quality, particularly the dry aged cut we selected which was - no joke - some of the best value beef I’ve ever tasted. Will come here every time I return to Como!!

Il Mannarino is a steakhouse where the experience truly begins with the meat being cut fresh and prepared on the spot, then served perfectly as a steak. We ordered the Irish beef steak (Irlandese), 600 grams for €38, which is more than enough for two people—an excellent value for the quality offered. The steak was rich, juicy, and full of flavor, cooked with great precision. To close the meal, we enjoyed a classic espresso and tiramisu, and both were outstanding—the perfect ending to a memorable dining experience. For Indonesian visitors traveling to Como, this place is highly recommended. The price is still very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the meat and the overall experience. The taste is truly unforgettable—one of those meals that stays with you long after you leave the table.

My fave place in Como to eat. Also doesnt break the bank. Primitivo wine by the pitcher was also amazing. Tiramisu super good! Great service!

Great experience! It began at the butchery, where you order all the food. Enzo the butcher who welcomed us had a great knowledge about the verity of meat available to choose from and helped us build the meal we want. All the dishes were delicious, tasteful and well made. The service was very good and to complete the experience the atmosphere wad very calm and relaxed.

We loved the food, fresh steak you can choose on site especially controfilleto and filletto argentino, carpaccio! Dessert was good, great limoncello! There is something for dogs as well which you can order! The seevice is good too! I would go again or visit another location of the restaurant!

We had a great time at this place for lunch. It was a local butcher with good quality meats. We ordered a mix of items and had an enjoyable meal. Our family of five enjoyed the time there. The sourdough bread that came at the start was very fresh and really good.

Super good food, the butcher and the cashier are super friendly people. They operate a butchery and a restaurant and the steak cuts look amazing! We got the grandma meatballs. 10/10 for us!
