Castiglioni - COMO

Customer experience is magnificent. The owner knows so much about which wine matches your taste. Very easy going, loved it !

Intimist. the wine bar is located in the center of come. the reception is simply remarkable. It's simple, you come to eat and drink wine, have passed them masters in helping the decision. professionalism and hospitality are of interest. I strongly recommend for prices and valuable advice on the choice of wines.

Looks like a Deli from the outside. Not a surprise as it is just that....but more. A lovely courtyard at the rear was a haven on a hot Como Saturday lunchtime. Friendly staff and cool, quiet. Enjoyable Carpacio of Angus beef was a very, very generous serve of delicate rare beef, helped with rocket and Parmesan. A dish of spaghetti vongole also enjoyed. House white from Veneto was €3.50 a glass. The entire meal for 3 was €60 and I’d return in a heartbeat.

Returned after 6 yrs and still a great spot.... hidden at the back of a deli a few hundred meters south of the main tourist area of Como. We had bresaola and a few other appetizers, the meat lasagna and an additional pasta that we didn't order... the waitress was having a little trouble keeping the orders straight. This is primarily a locals eatery (one of the reasons we like it) and my limited Italian was likely partly to blame for the mixups. The latter pasta dish was a carciofi (artichoke) and ricotta ravioli which was good but wouldn't be something I'd have on the menu.... the artichoke flavour is just too subtle in such a dish. With a caraffa of vino rosso di casa, our lunch was excellent save for the exceptions noted above. We'll be back on our next Como visit!

We stumbled across this place and are so glad we did. A great lunch, sitting outside and watching the world go by. Boyfriend had lasagne, which he said was great. I had trout, which came with potatoes and some salad. Although listed as a fillet, it has quite a lot of bones, but was delicious regardless. Each main was €8. We also had a coffee afterwards, which was good.
