Special Moments
Some moments deserve more than an ordinary restaurant. A candlelit terrace above Lake Como. The Alps turning pink at sunset. A table set just for you. At MamaGina Brunate, we don’t just serve dinner — we set the stage for the moments you’ll remember forever.
Romantic Dinners Above the Lake
“Some evenings stay with you for the rest of your life. This is one of them.”
A summer dinner under the open sky, with the lake as your backdrop and nothing to do but be present. On warm evenings, the terrace at MamaGina becomes the most romantic table in all of Lake Como — a place where time slows down, the wine pours, and even the simplest dish tastes like a memory in the making.
No rushing. No noise. Just the two of you, 500 metres above the water, watching the lights of Como flicker to life as the sun disappears behind the Alps.

Marriage Proposals at MamaGina
“She’ll say yes before you even finish the question.”
The hardest part is finding the perfect moment. We take care of everything else. At 500 metres above Lake Como — on a terrace that feels like it was made for exactly this — we create a private, emotional setting that lets the real moment, your moment, take centre stage.
No strangers watching. No generic restaurant chaos. Just a carefully prepared space, the lake below, and the person you love. Everything is arranged in advance, discreetly and with full attention to detail, so you can focus entirely on the words that matter.

“A birthday dinner that actually feels like a celebration — not just another rush.”
No rigid menus. No pressure to leave quickly. Just your people, a shared table, good food and the time to actually enjoy every bite and every laugh. Whether it’s two of you or the whole family, this dinner is designed to feel relaxed, genuine and completely worth remembering.
Celebrate at 500 metres above Lake Como, where a view like this makes every single toast feel a little more extraordinary — because the setting is half the gift.

Anniversaries Worth Celebrating
An anniversary at MamaGina Brunate is more than a dinner reservation — it’s a return to what matters. The same terrace. The same lake. A new reason to fall in love all over again.
Many of our guests come back year after year for their anniversary, and we remember them. The couple from London who always orders the Spaghetti MamaGina. The family from Munich who books the corner table every July. The newlyweds from Milan who had their first dinner here and have never missed a year since.
We can arrange everything: flowers on the table, a special wine pairing selected by our team, a handwritten note, or simply the same quiet corner where it all started. Some traditions are worth keeping.
Private Dining & Exclusive Gatherings
For those moments that need space, privacy, and a setting that impresses before the first course arrives — MamaGina Brunate offers flexible private dining arrangements above Lake Como.
Our bistro room and panoramic terrace can be configured for groups of 10 to 40 guests. Corporate dinners, family reunions, product launches, intimate wedding receptions — we’ve hosted them all, and each one felt like it was made for this place.
Custom Menus
Tailored courses designed around your preferences, dietary needs, and budget. From classic Italian to creative tasting menus.
Dedicated Service
Your own team for the evening. Attentive, professional, and completely focused on your event.
Flexible Spaces
Indoor bistro ambiance or open-air terrace with Lake Como views. Or both — the choice is yours.
Full Coordination
Flowers, music, decorations, dietary accommodations, transportation. We handle the details so you can enjoy the moment.
Corporate Dinners & Team Experiences
Take your team somewhere they’ll actually remember. MamaGina Brunate offers a unique setting for corporate dinners, team-building experiences, and client entertainment — just 7 minutes by funicular from Como, but a world away from the usual conference hotel restaurant.
The journey itself becomes part of the experience: a scenic ride up the historic funicular railway, arriving in Brunate to find a candlelit terrace with the entire lake below. It’s the kind of evening that builds relationships, closes deals, and reminds everyone why they love what they do.
We offer pre-set menus for groups, cocktail reception packages, and full event coordination. Whether it’s 8 people or 40, your team will leave with a story — and probably a craving for our tiramisù.
