Lake Como

Lake Como is the most spectacular of the lakes, it lies in the shadow of the Rhaetian Alps, and its shoreline is scattered with villages, including beautiful Bellagio, Como, and Lecco. Lake Como is surrounded by beautiful scenery, and is truly breathtaking in the spring.

Lake Como is also famous for its cuisine, famous dishes include:
  • Cotoletta alla milanese (cutlets of tender veal dipped in egg and bread crumbs and fried in olive oil until they're a golden brown)
  • Osso buco is the other great dish of Lombardy; this is cooked with the shin bone of veal in a ragout sauce and served on rice and peas.
  • Risotto alla milanese - rice that can be dressed in almost any way, often flavored with saffron and butter.
  • Polenta, is a type of cornmeal and is a dish that is eaten more often than pasta.
  • Pizzoccheri from Valtellina, is a dish made of pasta, cheese and vegetables.
  • Risotto con Pesce Persico, this is a fish (perch, from the lake) dish combined with the famous regional dish (risotto). It is a main course dish.
  • Pizza – are often made with a very thin crust, approx 10” in size and are meant for one person.
  • Pasta – you will see such a range of pastas in the supermarkets like never before! This can be eaten as a main dish or an appetizer.
  • Frittelle di mele, translates to ‘apple fritters’ and in an authentic Italian desert
