I dined at this restaurant and was struck by the perfect balance between traditional cuisine and a highly elegant setting. The restaurant is meticulously designed, making it ideal for those seeking a special evening in a refined yet welcoming atmosphere.
A journey of authentic flavors
The menu celebrates authentic flavors, elevated by the finest ingredients:
Appetizers: A delicate eggplant parmigiana and a flavorful, expertly cooked stuffed artichoke.
First Courses: The tagliolini with mushrooms, sausage, and pecorino cream were the highlight, creamy and intense. The orecchiette with turnip greens were also very balanced and true to tradition.
Second Courses: The braciole al sugo were simply sublime: tender meat and a rich, fragrant sauce.
Desserts: The perfect conclusion was an excellent lemon sorbet and a homemade tiramisu with the perfect consistency.
Impeccable Service
Special praise goes to the staff: excellent, attentive, and knowledgeable service, capable of making you feel pampered throughout the evening without ever being intrusive. It's rare to find such a synergy between the quality of the cuisine and the professionalism of the service staff.
An experience worth repeating and highly recommended.

We had an impromptu dinner here, and it was a pleasant surprise. Beautiful location, well-kept and tidy. The staff is very attentive and professional. The anchovies are delicious, but the cod is especially excellent.

An excellent restaurant serving Apulian cuisine in Como's historic center, a true gem. As soon as you step inside, you're greeted by a unique atmosphere, with elegant and meticulously crafted shabby chic furnishings complemented by vintage details (kitchen scales, terracotta plates, a colander, and antique pots). Excellent cuisine: we enjoyed excellent creamed cod on polenta crostini, baked cod with potatoes, tomatoes, and olives, fried anchovies with mandarin mayonnaise, a delicious stuffed artichoke, and the flavorful beef chops in terracotta dishes made the experience even more rustic and authentic. A well-deserved 5 stars and highly recommended!

Food was ok. However seeing one of the staff fighting and breaking wine glasses is not a pretty sight while you are trying to relax and enjoying yourself.

Unbeatable. A cozy spot off the beaten tourist track with outstanding, friendly, and attentive service. The food is incredibly good—homemade with a touch of haute cuisine—and the wine list is extensive and well-chosen. Don't go to other, more famous places; without a doubt, Crianza is the best restaurant in Como.
