Definitely my favorite place to have a glass of wine or a delicious cocktail. Small and friendly place very well appointed. I highly recommend it! You can also have light lunch and breakfast. I suggest it also for its homemade pastry :)

This is the right place where to eat an hamburger in Como. Industrial design and young people make this place cool and funny. You can choose between different types of bread and there is always an extra menu hamburger with particular ingredients if you want to taste something new. Very high quality, cheap price.

You need 15 minutes by car to reach Cernobbio or 13 minutes with the boat (2,50€)that starts from Piazza Cavour in Como and stops at Cernobbio square that is 5 minutes far from the patisserie.( I often have a very pleasant waterfront walk of 1 hour and half to go there) It is an historical place and my Neapolitan friends(experts of coffee) said that here the coffee is delicious!. Sweets are home made every day and they are super fresh and yummy! I love it!

Sightseeing

I’m partisan but Como Cathedral (1396-1744) is stunning! It’s at the same time simple and majestic and it gives me an idea of purity and sober elegance. Located in downtown heart, easy to reach by walk. Unmissable.

Cernobbio. Little town on the lake. It’s a little town 5,7km far from Como. If you want to do a long and very beautiful walk looking at the lake, you can start from Passeggiata Lino Gelpi, visit Villa Olmo and proceed to Cernobbio. At your arrival you will be rewarded with the best coffee/cappuccino in town because in Cernobbio there is Poletti cafè, the best pastisserie ever.

Passeggiata Lino Gelpi, lakeside walk and Villa Olmo. Como lakefront has two opposite sides. Passeggiata Lino Gelpi brings you to the beautiful neoclassical Villa Olmo and its free enter garden. On the way to Villa Olmo you can see a series of beautiful villas that contribute to make this promenade very fascinating. Pedestrian area. A very pleasant 15 minutes walk.

It’s very close to the Cathedral (Piazza Duomo). You can reach it only by foot because it is located in a pedestrian area. It’s perfect if you have to buy just few things during your walk around the old town center. Monday-Sunday 8:30- 20:30.

Arts & Culture

Studio Libeskind created Life Electric, a dazzling 16.5 meter (54 feet) high stainless steel sculpture on the beloved Lake Como. The public monument, the first contemporary work ever to be installed in Como, is an homage to famed scientist Alexander Volta to whom the city is dedicated. Amazing view of the sunset from this place.
