Crotto Piazzaga In Torno

A pleasant walk through the woods leads to a welcoming crotto, run by very kind owners. Home-cooked food, well-prepared dishes, and generous portions. It was a wonderful experience!

Excellent welcome Delicious food

Such a nice place ! Great food and very cozy atmosphere, very kind hosts 🤍

What a pearl appearing in the middel of our hike. Fantastic people and homemade everything. 🤌🤌🤌

Super friendly! We passed by after the shop closed on a long hike, but they still served us food. We'd be happy to go back.

An absolute must try restaurant at Lake Como. Incredible home cooked food and amazing owners. Will not disappoint!

Typical crotto above Torno, friendly hosts, delicious food, I felt comfortable there

This place defines local and rustic in the best way possible. Ask for her home brew Nocino at the end of your meal.

Panoramic location with lake view, excellent Como food (small portions though), can only be reached on foot from Torno, about 1 hour.

We had lunch at this crotto on a Monday in August, after a short hike from Torno to Monte Piatto. A very pleasant place, with a moderately spacious interior and a terrace sheltered by a canopy, where we sat. We arrived early (before noon) and were the only customers for the entire meal. The menu, written on a blackboard (with accurate prices), offers: platters of cured meats and cheeses of various sizes, two or three first courses and the same number of second courses, vegetarian or vegan options available for all courses (and plenty of vegetables on the menu), and homemade desserts. We opted for a goat's cheese (a local product, like almost everything else they offer), seasoned with oil, pepper, and a few drops of balsamic vinegar, truly delicious; then polenta with chanterelles (picked in the nearby woods)—also excellent—and finally a chocolate cake with mint cream, equally good. We drank Pintalpina beers (produced in Valtellina and among our favorite craft beers), but of course wine is also available, as well as a refreshing organic green coffee and ginger herbal tea to round out the meal. The owners are kind, friendly, and welcoming; the service is courteous and prompt; the food is local, well-prepared, with generous portions and fair prices. I will return and highly recommend it.
