Spectacular Pulled maniaWe have returned for the fourth time to this very nice restaurant. Having dinner on the bus feels like you’re in some American fast food restaurant, or at least that’s what it made us feel. We tried both the pizzas and the hamburgers and they are delicious. In particular, the PULLED MANIA burger is spectacular; in no other place we’ve been have we had such a good one, so much so that we came back specifically to try it! What can I say… Absolutely worth a try and I’m sure you won’t regret it

Virtual trip to Las VegasIt was a wonderful experience, we ate on a wonderful replica of a bus and we had fun playing the game. We ate well, which is the most important thing, and your waiters were very friendly. I hope you organize not only country dances but also Lindy or swing as well.

Pleasant Sunday afternoon teaA pleasant snack on a December Sunday afternoon. A sweet break at Old America. A very special atmosphere with 1950s-style American decor, meticulously curated down to the smallest detail. I enjoyed a delicious dessert accompanied by excellent coffee in a truly evocative setting. The staff was very courteous and professional. In particular, Giulia was very attentive and kind in providing me with recommendations on the menu.

America a stone's throw from the LakeA corner... and not even small... of America just a few kilometers from the promenade of Como! The most beautiful and scenic part of the restaurant is the part near the entrance, where I recommend sitting down. Here you will find a giant red American tire that serves as the kitchen, and a typical American bus, where you can also get on and eat inside (with a dedicated menu) sitting comfortably on the leather sofas. The atmosphere on the floor, in the bathrooms etc., is typical of a diner from the 1950s in the deepest America. There is also the rest of the restaurant, which is a large unique environment with lots of tables, mostly for large groups. The atmosphere is more noisy, more "cold", although the large flags on the ceiling and the plaques and posters on the walls are in pure American style. The food and drinks are very good, the choices are excellent... of course, all the great classics are not missing! The French fries are above average for many restaurants.

SpectacularThe restaurant itself is very special, with a huge bus parked inside that becomes a beautiful dining room, a truck that doubles as a kitchen, and spacious bathrooms in old-American style. But the surprise came from the fillets we ordered; they were really good and perfectly cooked. Anyway, there was a wide selection of dishes at fair prices. All of this was served with the kindness of the waitresses. We will be back.

Real US truck inside the buildingThe location is not accessible without a car. No matter what Google Maps claims. We tried it. If you’re there, it’s great. Everything is modern and clean. The food and drinks were excellent. The staff all speak English. You pay at the main counter when you leave. And of course you can pay with a card.

Experience to be hadTruly an emotion to dine on this wonderful 1960s American bus. The food is really excellent with a wide selection of dishes. The portions are generous. The staff is all very friendly and helpful. The bus aside, the venue is very large, well-maintained, clean and very original. There is a huge outdoor parking lot. Even the restrooms are out of the ordinary. To conclude, if you want to spend a special evening, this is the place to go. The quality-price ratio is excellent. Highly recommended

Old but Gold!Great American-style restaurant! The staff is friendly and helpful, but a special mention goes to the food: high-quality ingredients cooked to perfection! My husband and I chose the grilled meal for two; I think we had the best steak of my life, it melted in our mouths! Prices are reasonable and the entertainment is guaranteed! We went for a Sunday lunch and had a lot of fun playing the quiz show hosted by Mr. Why! Highly recommended!!
