We had about an hour to kill in Lake Como before we had to meet our tour group. Lucky for us,…read moreL'Ambrosiano happened to be across the street from our meeting point. It also couldn't have looked more inviting. We chose to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. It wasn't a sunny day but the outdoor seating did provide shelter from the misty rain. The waiter took our order (one Valtellinese pizza) and shortly our food arrived. I found it a nice touch that the kitchen split the pizza in half so we could share it easily. We were also given plates and silverware. L'Ambrosiano is no ordinary cafe. It's a bit classier. The pizza was delicious and covered amply in braseola and mushrooms. The sauce was slightly sweet and brought the whole pizza together. I did enjoy eating my pizza with a fork and knife, a far cry from folding it in half and eating with hands New York style. What a great way to enjoy Como. It topped off our morning of silk scarves, cloud bread, gardens, and farmers markets.

The food here is great. Pizza was more expensive here than other places and tasted fantastic, but…read morenot more so than any of the other pizza places I ate at. The spicy salami was actually spicy and was extra crisped which is actually how I prefer it. The bruschetta was very good and big portion. I give it three stars because it's more expensive than any other pizza I ate in Italy and there was nothing to justify that - the food was simple nothing fancy, it was not memorable, and I wouldn't go back.

Small, dark, roomy and dog friendly!!! Yey italia!! Saw a few tiny little pups way past their bedtime :) And! Doesn't make this place less romantic or speak easy ish. The cocktail menu was short and sweet. Jazz! Spritz!! Gin cocktail was what I went for mainly for the ingredients. I do love a good herb in my drink! And the spritz!!! All the spritz!! Flowers, rosemary! And of course,a dry martini with extra olives! Olives stuffed with cheese!! Yummmm! Best part about Italy is prices. Even the most expensive in Como isn't crazy expensive. It was super reasonable! This was a second stop for my midnight bday drinks! Left a year older! :D Super warm, laid back!! Just a perfect way to ring in the new year!! Walked right back to my hotel! Love that its right in the middle of como!

The bonus : their prices were far less than the ristoranti in central Como. Buon Apettito !

Cozy, quiet wine bar in busy Como! I enjoyed a few visits to Cornobobo during a recent long weekend…read morein Lake Como. It was walkable from our Airbnb and the perfect start to a night out. Their beer selection is surprisingly decent (a few on draft, including an IPA for my hop-head husband) and delicious wine by the glass or the bottle. My favorite part about this spot are the delicious snacks served complimentary with every drink. Most bars will give you a bowl of chips or peanuts, but Cornobobo pulls out all the stops with a board full of salami, cheese, focaccia, gherkins, and peanuts. Yes, please! We also loved their music selection. The bartender's playlist had the likes of Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, REM and other classics.
