Instant confirmation or on request: what actually changes
On the same page, two restaurants can behave in two different ways. The difference isn’t cosmetic: it’s whether the table is yours or not.

Where the listings come from, and why they’re sometimes wrong
No restaurateur asked to be here. That’s why the catalogue is broad, and it’s also why it goes stale.

«All verified»: what it means, and what it doesn’t
Here a review is tied to a meal that took place. It is an inconvenient rule — it shuts a lot of people out — and everything that «all verified» can promise lives inside it.

Eating in Como
In Como you eat the lake: that is what sets this table apart from the plain twenty minutes away.
From the lake
- Missoltini — shad dried in the sun and pressed in tins with bay leaves, then warmed over embers and served with polenta and vinegar;
- Whitefish and perch — the latter breaded in butter, with risotto;
- Bleak, fried and eaten whole.
From the land
- Toc' — polenta worked long with butter and cheese, eaten from the pot at the table;
- Polenta uncia, with butter, garlic and valley cheese;
- Cassoeula here too, in winter.
The cheeses
The Valsassina and the valleys around bring Taleggio DOP, zincarlin and robiole; the wine comes from the terraces above the lake and from nearby Valtellina.
Opening hours and closing days change. The ones on the listings come from public sources and may be out of date. Where a restaurant confirms tables with us, the availability you see is the real one.
