Eating Out

You will also find that polenta; a golden-yellow Italian cornmeal made from ground maize, and also the name given to the savoury cornmeal porridge that's made from it along with gnocchi; a variety of thick, soft noodle or dumpling which can be made from either potatoe, bread crumbs, ordinary wheat flour or semolina are another two popular dishes to be found in the restaurants of Lake Como.

Meat dishes are also on the menus, often pork, beef or chicken, rabbit and venison.

You will be spoiled for choice when eating out on Lake Como. From small pizzeria's to top-end, expensive restaurants, you can be sure to find a place that suits your budget and taste.

Most places to eat are open daily. Some may close one day a week but this varies. Times may be susceptible to change depending on the season.

Typical Costs

Depending on where you are eating, the prices can range from €5 for a good pizza to €25 for a three course meal in a restaurant. However, again it depends on whether you are in a top-notch restaurant where the price can escalate to over €50 per person or whether you are eating somewhere with good food but without all the frills!
