“Excellent bakery!! Located near the duomo, where lots of tourists, but strongly recommend by locals. Everything is fresh! Focaccias, quiches, pizza, and all bakery items.

“Wow, the food is just so fantastic! We are so amazed by how creative, fresh and flavorful the pasta, dumplings and every other dish were! So creative and so fresh!!! The house red wine is also quite nice! All in all this restaurant is definitely a hidden gem. The waitresses are super friendly, quick and nice. And last but not least, the great view with the quietness in the mountains is just making this place magical.”

“Homely osteria with simple but tasty food. Quite busy so book a night or two in advance. Situated in a cute laneway of Como, it has a lovely ambience that adds to the charm. We very much enjoyed our dinner here, recommend for those who enjoy good food without the pretentiousness.”

Via Comoedia, 1, 22016 Lenno CO, Italy

“The service and atmosphere are top tier. We didn’t dine inside the restaurant so I can’t speak for it - we got a double beach bed which came with lunch and a dessert. Our waitron was super, ironically we’d met him earlier in the day on our boat trip to the villa. There are steps going down to the water which is wonderfully refreshing. I’d recommend this spot to anyone in the area. It can’t be beat.”

Via Adeletto Zerboni, 6, 22020 Veleso CO, Italy

“Not sure what to say..... Booked dinner 3 days in advance on some good reviews. Arrived a hour early as we were a little worried about the drive up there but was only slightly hairy. So far so good. Said hello to chef and team and sat on restaurant veranda with a glass of wine looking at the lovely view. Then weird stuff...Completely ignored right up to booked table time, and then still ignored 30 mins past our booked table time. Everyone around us being seated at tables and served. Eventually we asked chef as to the reason we were not being seated or served. No reason given.... just smirked! We were so upset we just left. Can't comment on the food since we didn't get any and we still dont know why! Never had this happen in all my 58 years of fine dining at excellent restaurants. Appalling attitude and service which ruined a wonderful once-in-a-lifetime stay at the lake, with lovely locals. Still angry now. Absolutely not recommended.”

Via Fornaciai, 16, 20836 Briosco MB, Italy

“Good”

Via Armando Diaz, 54, 22100 Como CO, Italy

“Feel Como exceeded my expectations with its outstanding wine selection. Unlike other places, the wine pairing here was a delightful surprise—each wine listed on the menu for pairing was absolutely delicious. I usually avoid wine pairings, but Feel Como's transparency on the menu won me over. The tasting menu was a culinary journey that lasted over 3 hours, showcasing creative, fresh, and high-quality dishes. The overall experience was a testament to the restaurant's commitment to excellence.”

Largo Cavour, 5, 22017 Menaggio CO, Italy

“Great restaurant in Menaggio. Definitely recommend to reserve a table in advance since they are quite busy on a summer eve. I highly recommend the Ravioli, that was a hit. Would go here again!”
