Whether you have your very own idea or are open to being enchanted by the chef’s tailored choice – the team will ensure that eating in will be nothing short of eating out.
Crotto del Misto, Lezzeno
Just a short boat ride away towards Bellagio, on the sunset side of the lake, awaits this family run trattoria style Italian restaurant with a charming lakefront terrace. The menu offers a great way to get a taste of the regional cuisine like the assorted lake fish antipasti for example.
Magnificent views of Lago di Como accompanied by a glass of wine from the restaurant’s generous cave of carefully selected wines – a long-standing classic that never disappoints.
Materia, Cernobbio
On the opposite bank of the lake, about a 15 minute boat ride towards Como, awaits one of the most innovative Michelin star restaurants Lago di Como has to offer. Chef Charanchini ticks all the boxes: A young, Italian chef trained in Noma brings a bit of modernism to the rather traditional gastro scene.
Its secret to success is kept straightforward with a farm to table approach and beautifully presented dishes at reasonable prices.
I Tigli in Theoria, Como
George Clooney must know best as this restaurant claims to be his all time favourite. Set beautifully in the courtyard of a palazzo from the 1400, in the middle of Como’s old town, this Michelin star restaurant, like its number 1 customer, manages to charm everyone.
Open all year, the high quality ingredients with a sprinkle of contemporary whilst remaining loyal to its Italian roots makes it an undeniable institution.
