Lake Como Food Tour

Lake Como’s culinary traditions are well known and widely celebrated. With so many local flavors and specialties to explore, it can sometimes be difficult to know where to start and what to choose. That’s why we created this Lake Como food tour: to offer an authentic overview of the region’s gastronomic culture through a variety of carefully selected tastings that showcase the true flavors of the area.

POSSIBLE TASTINGS:

• Chopboard of cured meats and a glass of local wine - cured meats of very high quality accompanied by a lovely glass of wine served in a historical wine shop is the best way to start a traditional lunch.
• Pizza Gourmet - we could not miss a pillar of Italian street food, which is really appreciated here in Como. In a delicious and historical bakery we will taste a slice of pizza like real people from here do, walking!
• 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).
• Sciatt - in Valtellina dialect “sciat” means toad, but they are actually delicious and crunchy pancakes with a stringy cheese heart.
• Ice cream - Alternatively, you can enjoy a delicious ice cream while walking along the romantic lakeside promenade.Coffee - because a respectable Italian lunch can only end with a good espresso coffee.
