Gratifying compliments on the best gastronomic Guides for the restaurant La Boule: Italian Touring Club 4 forchette; Veronelli 78/100 ; Gault Milau 12/20; Espresso 14/20; at the top in the "Guide to the restaurants" of Como and Lecco. The team-cooking of the restaurant La Boule of the Casinò, directed since 1995 by the executive chief Cesare Chessorti, is composed by eighteen cooks, among them there are three confectioners. This restaurant has received many compliments."La Boule" is in the Parties room of the Gambling House. You can taste other specialities in the two restaurants: Seven Eleven, a bar-restaurant in the Gaming-table rooms,

Jack Pot an American bar restaurant in the American games room: it is for the gourmets. At the restaurant La Boule you can taste great risotto... risotto with marrows whipped with virgin olive-oil and with burrata and summer truffle. Risotto with basil and parsley with roasted prawns, skilfully prepared by the chef Marino Roncoroni, a superlative element in a wonderful cooking team. Fresh and filled pasta: like a painter's palette the choice for the preparation of fresh and filled pasta is exciting and wide. You have for example: pies filled with potatoes and pecorino perfumed with mint, fresh saffron noodles with squids, marrows and pachino tomatoes, garganelli sautés with tuna, dry tomatoes perfumed with ginger and lemon, skilfully prepared by the chef Vittorio Luppi, a young cook. Fish which is traditionally very delicate and complex is very fresh in the Casinò restaurant and the chef Gian Carlo Bracco draws up the fish without fear and with a great success, by enhancing the flavours and the quality. Brill with marrows, stewed mussels with saffron, brandy prawns with asparagus and mimosa in a yoghurt sauce.

The dessert is now able to overcome the pleasant end of a lunch or a dinner. The rich offer of sweets becomes the protagonist of the meal. "I would like a cake: the three confectioners of the Casinò will satisfy your wishes". Meringue with ice-cream, double cream with berries and pistachio ice-cream. The other two restaurants Jack Pot and Seven Eleven cook quickly but with ability: spaghetti sea-food, octopus mixed with oil and pepper, fillet of beef in a parmigiano-rind on layers of asparagus.
