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 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.

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.
