The married shop owners, Enriqio and Annarita, are so friendly and were both so patient with us. Annarita's English is good and fluent and I had to do some combination of gesturing and guessing with Enriqio. We ended up coming here three times for salami sandwiches. We told Annarita the rough specifications: focaccia, Milanese salami, a medium cheese and sun dried tomatoes, and they made it happen. It cost about the same as a subway sandwich but we felt we got so much more! Delicious and great service. We will be back!

We spent 3 weeks in this town and got to know many of the vendors and this place was, by far, such a pleasure to come and shop. The family who runs it is very accommodating, speak English ( for all the American and British travelers who come here) and carry so many authentic Italian products. We even purchased several jars of one sauce to take back to CA. One of the best parts of this place is Sunny, the young woman who works there- what a pleasant, helpful and kind person. She will make you want to come back and shop here just to have her help you. I hope she gets some credit for the good work she does there.

Absolutely wonderful! I had a sandwich with fresh basil, aubergine, fresh tomatoes, olives and (I…read morethink) a bit of hommus and olive oil. The guy who worked there was super nice and helpful, he translated the menu for us and gave us a warm welcome. Well recommended!

I lived in Como for a year, and this was probably my favorite restaurant to go to. The ingredients are fresh and delicious, and I'd suggest also trying the dessert tigellas (pistacchio in particular). The location itself is a tiny, but adorable shop in the city center. It's hard to find seating when it's busy, but I'm telling you- it's so worth it.

The location alongside the canal is absolutely beautiful. You couldn't ask for a prettier place to grab a scoop or two of gelato or an aperitivo.

The staff were friendly, spoke a little bit of English, and took card. They have a clean bathroom and plenty of seating. Wander in like we did and you won't be disappointed.
