-
Piazza Amendola Giovanni
Here you can enjoy one of the most traditional dishes of Como: Polenta uncia/ polenta with braised meat. The queen of the table in the Como area as well as in the whole Alpine area. Polenta here is obtained by mixing and cooking corn and buckwheat flour and then served with braised meat or with cheeses and melted butter (polenta uncia).
Also the famous Sciatt, delicious and crunchy pancakes with a stringy cheese heart. -
Centro Storico
You can't miss the traditional Nuvola cake: the shape resembles that of a large plumcake, while the texture is something halfway between panettone and pandoro, but much softer ... like a cloud, precisely! Inside it, a filling of apricot jam!
After all, don't miss the ice cream and coffee, because a respectable Italian lunch can only end with a good espresso!
