We have been in Italy for a week when my husband said I haven't seen a single…read moreCannoli since we arrived. I did a Yelp search and found this Sicilian pastry shoppe only 6 minute walk away from our hotel. My husband teared up with his first bite. Just like he remembers growing up in New York. Thank you for bringing a slice of childhood to my husband. If you are in Como go here first! Everything looks amazing. Sad that we're leaving tomorrow.

BEST PASTRIES. Family run business and everyone was so sweet. Loved the hazelnut croissant and the…read morecustard filled pastries. Couldn't recommend more!

We had about an hour to kill in Lake Como before we had to meet our tour group. Lucky for us,…read moreL'Ambrosiano happened to be across the street from our meeting point. It also couldn't have looked more inviting. We chose to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. It wasn't a sunny day but the outdoor seating did provide shelter from the misty rain. The waiter took our order (one Valtellinese pizza) and shortly our food arrived. I found it a nice touch that the kitchen split the pizza in half so we could share it easily. We were also given plates and silverware. L'Ambrosiano is no ordinary cafe. It's a bit classier. The pizza was delicious and covered amply in braseola and mushrooms. The sauce was slightly sweet and brought the whole pizza together. I did enjoy eating my pizza with a fork and knife, a far cry from folding it in half and eating with hands New York style. What a great way to enjoy Como. It topped off our morning of silk scarves, cloud bread, gardens, and farmers markets.

The food here is great. Pizza was more expensive here than other places and tasted fantastic, but…read morenot more so than any of the other pizza places I ate at. The spicy salami was actually spicy and was extra crisped which is actually how I prefer it. The bruschetta was very good and big portion. I give it three stars because it's more expensive than any other pizza I ate in Italy and there was nothing to justify that - the food was simple nothing fancy, it was not memorable, and I wouldn't go back.

Nice small bakery with seating outside. No wait and quick…read moreservice. Good selection of good pizza and other bakery items. Clean bathroom

This is possibly the best gelato I've ever had. Been to many places in Italy, Austria, Germany,…read moreSwitzerland and America and Zoe's gelato is hands down the best there is out there! After finding this on our first day in Argegno, Como we came like everyday (once twice a day)! Their gelato is so creamy and smooth with the perfect cones. We tried the Malaga, Stracciatella, Fior do Latte, Frutti do Bosch, Limone, Nocciola, Crete Caramel. If you haven't tried gelato here you are missing out!

My friends and I were walking down the main street of Como when we stumbled upon this storefront…read more We were craving gelato, and from some of the signs on their windows, it seemed like they've received awards in the past, so we gave it a try. I ordered the Nocciola (hazelnut) and pistachio gelati in a cone. It was absolutely wonderful and delicious. I'm glad to have tried my first authentic Italian gelato here! Although you can buy gelato straight from the window at the storefront, it took a few minutes before one of the workers noticed we were trying to buy gelato. From the outside, it looked like they had a bar and their website says they also serve pastries and brunch. We were able to pay with card, so don't fret if you don't have any euros on you! - You'll still be able to enjoy some delicious desserts from here!
