Spectacular Pulled mania We've returned for the fourth time to this very lovely place. Having dinner on the bus, it really feels like being in some American fast-food joint, or at least that's the effect it had on us. We've tried both the pizzas and the burgers and they are delicious. In particular, the PULLED MANIA burger is spectacular; in no other place we've been to have we eaten it so good, so much so that it made us come back on purpose! What can I say…. Absolutely a must-try and I'm sure you won't regret it

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

Valentina's birthday Party in the venue's lounge for my daughter's birthday, well-organised buffet aperitif with various finger food and a pasta course, all good and plentiful with a cake at the end! A big thank you to Marco for the organisation and to Christian the bartender for the excellent cocktails and his patience (started at 7pm, finished almost at midnight)

Pleasant Sunday afternoon tea A pleasant snack on a December Sunday afternoon. A sweet break at Old America. A very unique setting with 1950s American-themed decor, meticulously detailed down to the finest points. I enjoyed a delicious dessert accompanied by an excellent coffee in a truly atmospheric location. The staff were very polite and professional. In particular, Giulia was very attentive and kind in giving me suggestions on the menu.

America a stone's throw from the Lake A corner... and not a small one at that... of America just a few km from the Como lakefront! The most beautiful and scenic part of the restaurant is the area near the entrance, where I recommend sitting. Here you'll find a giant American red truck that serves as the kitchen, and a typical American bus, which you can actually go inside and eat in (with a dedicated menu) while sitting comfortably on leather sofas. The atmosphere, even on the floor, in the bathrooms, etc., is typical of a 1950s diner from the American heartland. Then there is the rest of the restaurant, which is a large open-plan space with lots of tables, better suited for large groups. This area is noisier and "colder", even though the large flags on the ceiling and the license plates and posters on the walls are in pure American style. The food and drinks are very good, with excellent and varied choices... naturally, all the great classics are present! The chips are superlative, well above the average of many places.

Spectacular The place itself is very unique, with a huge coach parked inside that becomes a lovely dining room, an articulated lorry acting as the kitchen, and space-age, old-America-style bathrooms. But the real surprise came from the steaks we ordered, which were genuinely good and cooked to perfection. There's also a wide choice of dishes at fair prices. All of this is topped off with the friendliness of the waitresses. We'll be back.

Real US truck inside the building The location cannot be reached without a car. No matter what Google Maps claims. We tried it. Once you are there, it is great. Everything is modern and clean. The food and drinks were excellent. All the waiters speak English. You pay on the way out at the central cash desk. And of course you can pay by card

All the staff are genuinely very kind and helpful. Bus aside, the venue is very large, well-kept, clean and very original. There is a huge outdoor car park. Even the toilets are out of the ordinary. To conclude, if you want to spend a special evening this is the right place. The quality-price ratio is excellent. Highly recommended

Old but Gold! Large American-style venue! Friendly and helpful staff, but a special mention goes above all to the food: good quality ingredients cooked to perfection! My husband and I went for the mixed grill for 2, I think I had the best sliced steak of my life, it melted in the mouth! Standard prices and guaranteed fun! We went for a Sunday lunch and had a great time playing the Mr. Why quiz! Highly recommended!!
