Hemingway Cocktail Bar and Restaurant In Como

08/06/2025: Como has endless amounts of hills/mountains, water (Lake Como is 149 sq kms and the deepest lake in Europe at 425M), and restaurants. There are restaurants on every square, every corner and every side street, all touting for your patronage. With such endless choice, how do you choose where to have your evening dinner? Well we have a suggestion for you. A restaurant with lots of nocturnal atmosphere (flaming gas light heaters), opposite the Cathedral, excellent service and gourmet cuisine (at a price), Da Pietro. The meals are a level up from the norm and the Beef Wellington is divine. Plenty of menu choice beyond the standard pasta and pizza, and a good selection of wines (it’s Italy, what else could you expect!) If you are really lucky you will get young Russian Kate (Kata) as your waitress, perpetually smiling , very efficient and attentive to your every dining need. Also as well as speaking Russian , she also speaks both fluent English and Italian very quickly, but not at the same time! An excellent dining experience, great food, efficient and friendly service via Kata. RECOMMENDED.
