Various vegetable and cheese salads were being spooned into bowls for patrons. 6 Euros for a good sized portion is affordable. The cashier urged me to eat first, "Mangiare, mangiare!!!" and then pay. Servers were very friendly. The salad had unfermented green olives, cherry tomatoes, prosciutto, chunks of soft crumbled rustic bread, and chunks of cheese of unknown variety. The salad was moist. Sandwiches are also offered. Many people ate here on their lunch break. They must be regulars. We walked 2 kilometers the next day to eat here again passing by other cafes. Enjoy!!

The cafe is a very small storefront that we passed without noticing the first time, but once you walk in this place is anything but ordinary. We ordered the tasting menu, a bruschetta with anchovies and mozzarella, and a pucce (sandwich) with capicola and buratta. The sandwich was amazing, the buratta was so soft and paired amazingly with the capicola and olive oil. The bruschetta was amazing and the rest of the tasting menu was as well. The service was wonderful too, there was one person working and she checked in on us frequently and was overall very helpful. Overall this place is amazing and you should definitely check it out whenever you're in Como!

This local shop is the epic meat, cheese, and more meat destination fest that other shops can only…read moredream of. They have... * Dry-aged steaks just waiting for you to indulge. * A huge assortment of preserved slice-able meats waiting for you to ask for a serving. * Seasoned and prepared meats for those unwilling to do it themselves. * More cheese varieties than I know what to do with. I decided picking randomly was the correct approach. It worked! * Fresh vegetarian pasta to break up the potential meat monotony. They were more than patient with my poor Italian pronunciation and let me pick out a few items to enjoy. I don't think tourists normally go here because most tourists stay at a hotel and can't enjoy a fresh self-prepared meal. I, on the other hand, have an apartment with a kitchen and we stocked up for a week of late night snacks!
