Il Caffè Dei Viaggiatori - COMO

Nice place to relax, cool down or have something to eat and drink in the evening. The staff is really great and take the time for a chat and give you tips for the area. Shout out to Anna Maria and the Pakistani dude :

This was my favorite restaurant in Como, their specials are reasonably priced and taste really good. The flavor profile is pretty spot on to what I wanted from Italy but it's definitely Italian/Western and not pure Italian due to some of the changes they made to basic classic dishes. The veggie soup was good, it featured a lot of legumes which is helpful for vegans looking for protein fix. The carbonara tasted as if they mixed butter and cheese into it which isn't classicly done but something I personally do and it tastes better as a result. The Ragu is good but needs more salt.

Carbonara and penne Al salmone were great. Price is about 7€ per dish. Would definitely come back here to try another dishes.

You can feel Italian atmosphere there. Food is amazing. I have eaten the best pizza in my life.

Quite busy as you would expect, located on one of the side streets, we went a couple of times and it tends to atract some annoying people. Staff were really nice, they could do with more though to keep waiting times down.
