I did a Yelp search and found this Sicilian pastry shoppe only 6 minute walk away from our hotel. My husband teared up with his first bite. Just like he remembers growing up in New York.

There's usually a line, but it moves fast. One line to go in and one line coming out. Its located right across the ferry. They have seats and benches which was nice. The view is nice also as you get a direct view of the lake. I highly recommend this.

Solid gelato; but definitely not worth the crazy lines. And because they're so insanely busy, they…read moredon't let you taste flavors, they rush you, and be incredibly rude at times. I personally liked Gelab Gelataria and Gelato Crea Lake Como better, because of the gelato quality and being all natural. Andddd way shorter lines because they're not over hyped! In any case, if you do come when lines are short, get 3 flavors at once, and in a cup because their gelato is watery and melts FAST! I liked pistachio, stracciatella, and their caramel hazelnut. My friends liked their vanilla and peach. I admit there's better gelato elsewhere - even in and out of Italy. But sure, this is definitely the most popular spot in Como and near the water. I actually think that's why it's got the longest lines. Location, not quality.

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.

My friends and I were walking down the main street of Como when we stumbled upon this storefront…read more We were craving gelato, and from some of the signs on their windows, it seemed like they've received awards in the past, so we gave it a try. I ordered the Nocciola (hazelnut) and pistachio gelati in a cone. It was absolutely wonderful and delicious. I'm glad to have tried my first authentic Italian gelato here! Although you can buy gelato straight from the window at the storefront, it took a few minutes before one of the workers noticed we were trying to buy gelato. From the outside, it looked like they had a bar and their website says they also serve pastries and brunch. We were able to pay with card, so don't fret if you don't have any euros on you! - You'll still be able to enjoy some delicious desserts from here!

The garden patio in back is cool and inviting, and nicely shielded from the drone of buses. The large combination dish of cacao and zabaglione gelatos that my fiancee and I shared was very good. Looking back with 20/20 hindsight I should have ordered my own dish in order to target the delicious looking cherry flavor. Probably a great place to bring unruly kids, since you can wrangle them all in the garden patio away from the disapproving eyes of stuffy waitstaff... whilst stoking them with more sugar...
