Overview

With our gastronomic tour in Como you can immerse yourself in the local gastronomic tradition accompanied by a local expert, a person who lives in the place and who knows all the secrets and curiosities about it, with whom you can discover the restaurants/eateries and the most hidden places, frequented only by locals.

piazza duomo and cathedral of Como

Pass By: Palazzo Rusca, Via Rusconi, 22100 Como CO, Italy

Pass By: Piazza Amendola Giovanni, 22100 Como CO, Italy

Here you can enjoy one of the most traditional dishes of Como: Polenta uncia/ polenta with braised meat. The queen of the table in the Como area as well as in the whole Alpine area. Polenta here is obtained by mixing and cooking corn and buckwheat flour and then served with braised meat or with cheeses and melted butter (polenta uncia).
Also the famous Sciatt, delicious and crunchy pancakes with a stringy cheese heart.

Pass By: Centro Storico, 22100, Como Italy

You can't miss the traditional Nuvola cake: the shape resembles that of a large plumcake, while the texture is something halfway between panettone and pandoro, but much softer ... like a cloud, precisely! Inside it, a filling of apricot jam!
After all, don't miss the ice cream and coffee, because a respectable Italian lunch can only end with a good espresso!

    The tour was just ok. We went to 4 different spots; two of which were nothing special. We started with a glass of wine and charcuterie at an outdoor cafe, which was nice. Then we went to a local pizza place, which was a long time standing in line. The suggestion was made that we take that pizza to go. We walked to a local restaurant owned by a 90 year old Nonna, who still runs it every day. This was the highlight of the tour. We finished with gelato at a place on the water, which was super touristy and we waited in a long line for the gelato. The gelato was average and not at all stored the way we've read that the best gelato should be stored. As we were walking there was no conversation about what we were seeing as we walked.

    Chiara made this such an enjoyable tour and was very knowledgeable. It felt like hanging around with a friend as she made us feel so comfortable and kept the conversation flowing! We truly felt like we were one of the locals
