I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina lombarda in Como

31/03/2026: Crotto del Sergente is one of those places where, if you ask a local from Como, you'll get only one answer: "Of course I know it." . A name that brings with it high expectations... and I'll tell you how my experience went. We arrived and immediately found parking right in front of the place: convenient and stress-free. First point in its favor. Outside, there's a pleasant space where you can start the evening with a relaxing aperitif: second point in its favor. We went in to announce our arrival (earlier than our friends) and asked to have a drink outside. Even though we offered to bring our own glasses, given the breeze, the staff—very kindly—insisted on serving us directly. A noticeable attention. And here comes a surprise: along with the wine, unexpectedly, they also brought us a small plate of cold cuts and bread. A simple but much appreciated gesture. Third point in its favor. Once full, we were seated and the service continued with water and two baskets of bread. (an absolutely perfect choice for four people), accompanied by butter left available for the entire dinner: a detail I personally found very positive. The appetizers? Truly exceptional!! The highest quality cured meats and cheeses, intense and authentic flavors. But the real surprise was the savory red onion tarte tatin with Zincarlin and balsamic vinegar pearls: simply wow!!! It was a shame about the main courses, though. We chose three different dishes, and two of the three didn't convince us: dry, flavorless, and not up to par with the appetizers. In particular, the polenta arancini and the rabbit medallion didn't meet expectations. The wine list, on the other hand, was very positive: extensive, well-cured, and with options to suit all tastes and budgets. The location is undoubtedly one of its strong points: warm, welcoming, and quaint... To recap: Location 10 Friendliness of staff 10 Wine list 10 Sufficient cuisine (excellent appetizers, main courses to review) A small note on the service, perhaps a little too fast, and on the sweets offered at the end of the meal. Personally, I'd opt for the classic licorice gummies and not the mint or honey hard candies. Overall, it's still a great experience. A place worth trying, especially for the atmosphere and appetizers.

28/03/2026: A very quaint, rustic, well-kept, and beautiful venue. Good food. The six-course tasting menu is varied and features unique and refined dishes. We weren't thrilled with the wine on the menu.

31/03/2026: After many years of frequenting this restaurant, I must unfortunately note a decline compared to the past. The service remains friendly and helpful, but the overall experience no longer lives up to expectations. The appetizers are rather limited, the portions are small, and the dishes, in general, aren't particularly memorable. Considering the prices, the quality-price ratio now seems unbalanced. This is a real shame, especially given the positive memories of previous years.

24/03/2026: Very nice place with spectacular view

10/04/2026: Fantastic food and atmosphere! This restaurant isn't just any restaurant; it's perfect for anyone who wants to try authentic, traditional dishes from the lake and Lombardy! The welcome was superb, as was the service; the waiter came to our table several times to ask how our lunch was going :) Prices were in line with others in the area, but definitely the best value! Thanks to all the staff :)

06/04/2026: Hidden gem A little hidden from the larger squares but still very centrally located. Cozy place, delicious food (spaghetti carbonara, tiramisu, pannacotta, coffee and tea, wine). Moderate prices. Quiet. Recommended :-)

09/04/2026: So good restaurant! Personal is super nett and food amazing. There's a takeout menu and you can eat outside with a gorgeous view of the mountains and a playground. U also can ask to mix different dishes

02/04/2026: Fast, good, and reasonably priced. Excellent panoramic view. What are you waiting for?

16/04/2026: Excellent experience with typical local food. Friendly and polite staff.

12/04/2026: We went there with the whole family on Sunday at lunchtime and were absolutely delighted. Both the food and the service were outstanding. The dishes are homemade and impress with their high quality. The small, concise menu speaks volumes about the freshness and care taken in their preparation.

12/04/2026: I've never tasted pigeon so good, a masterpiece. I'll be back to try the other dishes, but I'll have a hard time not trying it again. 😅

05/04/2026: The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the staff are very friendly, and the food and ingredients are of excellent quality. You can really feel the love for the food and the guests. Highly recommended.
