Ristorante & Pizzeria Rodrigo

HISTORY

Together with Hotel Belle Vue, it is one of the places that made the history of Cadenabbia and made it well known all over the world. The restaurant still keeps the name of its first owner, Rodrigo Benaglio, who at the end of the 1st. World War, at the beginning of the ’20s, opened the Hotel Rodrigo, who with his skill and in spite of the small size, he made it a de-lux hotel, which soon became one of the most exclusive places on Como Lake. It is said that food was served in gold dishes and that its guests were so important to induce local people to pass by along the other side of the road, not to disturb them. The dining-room in perfect Liberty Style has been used as background for a number of movie-films. For a long time after the hotel was shut in the late ’80s, after some managements, it has been neglected until it was bought by us, we restored it in order to satisfy all modern requires, but preserving unaltered the Liberty dining-room decorated with a stucco ceiling and scagliola walls. The restaurant is equipped both for small and big parties and offers a large selection of different and personalized menus together with a selection of different kind of Pizza.
